The problem as I see it, ~for me~, at this point, is that there are too
many steps for metering - "green button", setting exposure lock,
recomposing - I really need to practice more with the camera.

On the istD, I don't need to set the exposure lock, I just meter,
compose and shoot. Did they do something different on the DS?

If I'm going to recompose, then using exp lock seems like a good idea,
otherwise the meter reading changes, sometimes substantially.
But what I'm wondering is --
On the PZ-1 in Hyper Manual the IF button, and on the *istD in Hyper
Manual the green button, works like an exposure lock only without the
time limit imposed by actual "exposure lock" buttons.
Does the Ds not do this -- set the exposure and leave it set?
No, it does not. No Green Button, although the AE Lock approximates this
with K/M lenses in M mode.
