Aperture-priority AE is available when you press the green button. It's a different way of doing it than you're used to, but it certainly *is* aperture-priority AE. And as others have mentioned, it is faster than turning a control to adjust shutter speed in metered manual mode. No comment on "thinking mans mode" as I'm not a "thinking man." ERN
