Perhaps this is no big deal to some of you, and maybe you even know this,
however, recently I discovered that the camera can be used in manual mode
while using auto focus lenses, and, in so doing, the meter can be bypassed
and the camera used just like any older, mechanical camera, where I can set
whatever aperture and shutter speed I desire. It's kind of like having a
digital MX or KX.
Shel,
Here's another nice feature: While in Manual mode, press the AE-L
button. The camera will snap into a Program-like exposure
automatically. So say you're in M mode, but suddenly find yourself in
need of snapping a quickie, without taking the time to tinker with
manual exposure settings. A quick press of AE-L will cause the camera
to meter the shot for you.
