Yes, absolutely. Because it's the only mode where you can expose as long as you like and also stop the exposure at any moment. Both are key functions under such circumstances. The same goes for HDR sequences where the longest exposure is over 30 secs. Non-defeatable DFS is a major PITA in any case. Just imagine you want to expose for, say, 2 minutes and after 1 minute 30 seconds a car with full headlights drives through the scene. So, you stop and have to wait for an additional minute and a half untll you can repeat the shot. All this could have been corrected with just a few bytes. Ralf -- Ralf R.
