What Cotty is saying is that since the *istD doesn't use film, it cannot have TTL-OTF metering. Maybe OTS (off the sensor) metering

"Will not" - true; Pentax has chosen not to support OTF-TTL flash. But technically, there is no reason why it cannot be done. It is left out mainly for cost saving reasons; just like the crippled mount. FYI, the Fujifilm S2Pro supports OTF or Off-The-CCD TTL flash as well as pre-flash TTL flash; while ironically, none of the Nikon DSLRs does. -- --Lawrence Kwan--SMS Info Service/Ringtone Convertor--PGP:finger/www-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.vex.net/~lawrence/ -Key ID:0x6D23F3C4--
