Au contraire, mon ami! With an electronic shutter, the COMPUTER can adjust it for you. Whether the Super Program or the ZX-M, or any other. BUT Take out your Spot, KX, or MX. (Try LX as well.) Set the SS for 1 sec. and fire. Easy to time. Set the SS for 1/2 sec. and fire. The difference is

Electronic shutters are (or can be) infinately variable. If the meter calls for 1/361 sec. that is what you get. Mechanical shutters are set increments and not usually adjustable. Jerry in Houston In a message dated 4/12/2002 11:23:35 AM Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: >

Hi, I'm not an engineer or electrician or in any way mechanical (or electric), BUT, the electronic bits of an electronic shutter still have to move the actual shutter mechanism itself, I'd have thought, and they are presumably subject to wear and tear. I guess that the electronic parts of the sys
