My Pentax A3000 also has this problem and I overcome it by painting over the DX encodings on the film canister with a black felt-tip marker (pen). This makes the film be non-DX, so the camera can't use this information. I then simply set the film speed manually on the camera. This is how I do exposure compensation on this camera, which is basically a brain-dead specimen intended for simple point-and-shoot operation. > I knew when I purchased the camera that it did not have > depth-of-field preview.

With my F70, I find that turning the lens until the white dot on the lens (which indicates aperture setting) is under the lowercase 'n' of "Nikon" on the camera body works just great -- it enables DOF preview but the lens is still locked securely on the camera body. WARNING: you must be careful not to turn the lens too far, or you risk it falling off the camera! Bye, Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.NetworX.ie ---
