Hello Nick, Pushing the green button is effectively stop down metering. It actually stops the lens down to taking aperture, meters and sets the shutter speed and then opens back up. It is actually quite usable. If you are used to manual mode then I find it quicker than having to turn both the aperture ring and shutter dial.
