Hmmmmmmmm, I see your point Bruce, but I thought that that was basically what the Tav exposure mode was for?

Well, that is a lot of information...in regards to the green button - if you are shooting manual, you are missing out on one of the best features of Pentax - HyperManual. What this does is the following: There is a setting on your camera for behavior of the green button when shooting manual. When pressing the green button, it behaves like a single reading of the scene and setting of f stop/shutter speed for you. The setting tells the camera to do one of three things 1) Set both shutter and aperture (much like program mode) 2) Use the current aperture and set the proper shutter speed to match 3) Use the current shutter speed and set the proper aperture to match In practice you don't have to spin both dials in manual mode to set your camera for the current light level. For me, I tend to set it to preserve my aperture. So all I have to do is point where I want and press green button and the shutter speed is set for me. If you try this out you will find it a much faster way to shoot manually. -- Best regards, Bruce -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
