Remember, the camera is in manual exposure mode. Once you set a shutter speed, it will stay at that shutter speed unless you do something to change it.
Pushing the green button performs a one-time setting of the shutter speed automatically (using stop-down metering). The camera doesn't remember the metering value - it just remembers the shutter speed that was selected, just as it would if you had set the shutter speed by using the shutter speed dial. > Thanks Michel, very helpful... > So the green button will stop the lens down an measure the light, the *ist D > will remember the metering, re-open the aperure and shoot (stopped down) at > the correct speed...??
