Jens, Don't think too complicated. You set the camera to manual mode. You set the desired aperture on the lens and press the green button. The camera stops down to meter the scene and opens up again. The determined value for shutter speed is shown in the viewfinder. Then it's just to take the pic...
The *istD is a nice little camera, even if the ergonomy doesn't fit my hands...

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...?? No, I don't think I really understand - I guess I'll have to have the camera in my hand to actually get it.
