John, you are obviously not enough of a geek. For me, one big part of the fun is actually learning and understanding what it going on. Another thing that I find a lot of fun is being able to take photos that other people can't, and that requires understanding what is happening. > > Bracket like hell! Unfortunately, the camera will only auto bracket shutter speed. I'm completely boggled why you can't choose what to bracket (shutter speed, aperture or ISO) since they're all controlled by the camera. For that matter you should be able to tell the camera to maintain the same exposure and which of the the three to remain constant. While we're at it, with auto focus, you should be able to bracket focus. It could be handy for motorsports too, tell the camera to bracket focus coming towards you by a set amount each frame. > > > -- > 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. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- 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.
