I have a very slow cranky web connection tonight so I haven't linked to your video. But the reason to use a viewfinder cover is that light coming through the viewfinder can/will affect the light meter reading of scene brightness. If you have the camera on a tripod (with your eye presumably not tight against the viewfinder) and AE turned on and nothing blocking the viewfinder, then you'll get a false reading, particularly in a situation with light coming from behind you. Not a problem is you use manual exposure. stan -- 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.
