Aaaaah, got it. Well, that is one THICK manual, and I have only had it for 2 days, so it's a lot to absorb and comprehend in that time! (hehe, well, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!).
Even so, I still think that it is too many modes to offer, and would only serve to confuse and slow me down during a shoot. In hindsight, I don't think I like the idea of the TAV mode actually, as I don't want to be "surprised" at the end of a shoot with images containing too much noise on account of being too high an ISO setting without me controlling it. Likewise with Sv mode, as I never change my ISO setting at all on my camera, I always leave it at ISO 200, unless I REALLY need it for low light, and then I just change it manually and change it back when I am finished, and I always like to have control over my aperture and shutter speed and wouldn't allow the camera to choose this for me. So, I guess that is two more features that will be redundant on me. Although, at Bruce's suggestion, I may have a play with that green button! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Francis Sent: Monday, 8 February 2010 8:20 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: i'm in luuuuuurv... No - it's exactly the opposite of Sv mode. In Sv mode you set the ISO (directly, using a thumb wheel, not by drilling down into the menu system), and the camera sets the shutter speed and aperture. In TAv you set both the shutter speed and the aperture, and the camera sets the ISO to get the exposure right.
