Nope, Pentax's view is that photographers shoot in manual light or use studio flash. My AF-540 won't freaking stay in manual mode for any predictable amount of time. And yes I've set all the configuration bits on it so it doesn't turn off. It has a new stunt. You know how the vertical angle of the head can be set, and you press the button on the side to change the angle? It no longer permanently clicks in. It has some sort of a detent, but you don't have to bother pressing the grey button on the side of the head to readjust it. As soon as I can afford it, I'm buying a Metz. -- 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.
