Greysolf I have tried to move the camera away from the eye (an arms length), still looking into the viewfinders exp. info. By doing so, the shutter speed may increase from lets say 1/45 sec to 1/60 sec, when the sun is in my back. This means the camera will underexpose 0.5 stop, compared to the normal situation, where very little light will enter through the eyepice/ocular because my head is in the way. This setting will be in operation when elevate the camera on a pole (monopod). By activaling a memory lock before removing the camera from my eye, I can lock on to the correct exposure (measured from the ground level point og view, which may differ from that of the elevated view). A camera missing a AE lock can be set to maual exposure.
Do you know if the MZ-S is capeable of adjusting exposure DURING exposuere?

Now some old cameras with deteriated foam may have a problem, but there should not be one with any SLR in good condition*. * Ahem! Except maybe for those with pellix mirrors. -- Kostas Kavoussanakis wrote: > On Sun, 15 Aug 2004, Jens Bladt wrote: > > >>under exposure is not acceptable, of course.
