Re: Undocumented improvement in -DS Firmware 2.0?

[P. J. Alling]

So what you're saying is that he *ist-Ds with the 2.0 firmware no longer 
trap focuses?

    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.
