No reason, except for the lack of logic in doing it that way. Of course, some cameras don't allow ISO over ride, in which case we need to figure out a strategy to goof the camera to get it to do what we want. > > > Setting the aperture with a conrol on the body, or on the lens > > is still just setting the aperture. > > And using ISO overrides and exp. comp. are both just ways of shifting your > exposure until you turn them off.

First, you said "If you have it set up to change apertures on the lens, you can't do it on the body......", Then you said "You do *not* have to shut one off to use the other." I see a contradiction here. > Nope, that's where you're wrong. The entry-level bodies work the way you > think, but I'm talking about the better ones, like the Z1-p.

The PZ1-p is no longer in production, for good reason. I presume the lens has to be locked in A for the body control function to work on that camera? William Robb
