The D green button sets the shutter speed when you're in manual mode.
To me, this is quite simple, and becomes an unconscious action. Just
spent a couple days shooting with the K85. Fun.

Is the DS2 the only one of the new DSLRs that has changed the

I remember using a non-updated DS and hating how I had to meter with
my old M lenses, but the DS2 behaves differently -- not perfect, but
better. Does the DS firmware upgrade add the same functionality to
the DS?
With a non-A lens on the DS2, metering is activated by hitting DOF
preview on the collar around the shutter button. If you're in
aperture priority, it sets the shutter speed. If you're in manual
mode, it tells you how many stops over or under you are.
It operates a lot like a Spotmatic with the addition of aperture
priority.
