I own a Super A as well as a P30 and P50. It's true that the (earlier) Super A is superior to the other two (TTL flash and shutter priority). One thing I like ablut both P30 and P50 is the very soft release. The P50 has a beautiful design as well. Jens Bladt mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http

I would suggest that it works the same way; that the aperture and speed will be set automatically in AE mode. But if you have the shutter set below 1/100 it will not be changed - apparently. The P30 film speed is ISO 100 without a film in the camera. But why not just put one in? Or an empty

In programmed AE mode the camera will be set to 1/100 and the aperture will also be set according to where you have the switch - Red, Green or Yellow . But this information applies to the AF200SA since the 201 was probably not yet on the market at the time the P30 manual was written. Don

I don't think this is the case, Anthony. The shutter speed curve has a wiggle right at 125th that happens on flash synch or on manual. To me, this is no big deal. However, someone questing for a perfect within a third stop exposure would probably have to factor it in. Anthony Farr wrote: I read
