I just noticed that my -DS now reads 'MF' in the viewfinder when I
mount a MF lens, even if the MF/AF switch is in the AF setting. I used
to miss shots because I'd forget to switch to MF when I'd mount and MF
lens and the camera wouldn't release the shutter because he didn't think I
was in focus. Now it appears to be smart enough to figure that if there
aren't any 'A' contacts, it's not an AF lens.
I don't recall if it actually said 'MF' in the viewfinder with the
old firmware. Can anyone confirm/recall? I took some intentionally out
of focus images with the MF lens with AF switch set to verify that he will
trip the shutter no matter what. Yay.
