1. You can turn the camera off, turn it back on, and the previous setting is still there. Just like as though it were a manual camera! It stays there until you press the green button again or change the lens.
2. You can adjust the aperture (using the oldfashioned ring around the base of the lens) and the setting stays the same. Until you hit the green button.
3. You can activate the DOF lever and then twirl either the Tv or the Av dial. And the new settings stay the same until you hit the green button. It will be interesting to see how this interacts with the 330 external flash...
You may have noticed my grumbling about the poorly designed grip the other day. Add another grumble: the vertical grip does not have a green button...

It only works in manual mode with basically aperture priority. Set the aperture, press the green button and you've got the correct shutter speed for center weighted metering (matrix is not available except on "A" lenses. As long as the light is constant, the setting is fine, but does not automatically change if the light does. In that case, press the green button again. It takes less than 1 second for the camera to compute the correct shutter speed.

The release mentions HyperManual mode, but doesn't specify aperture priority. If I stop an M or K lens down and press the green button, will this give a correct shutter speed in both manual and aperture priority modes? If it works for aperture priority, will the shutter speed vary with the light, or do I need to press the green button each time I want to meter the scene?

the added step of pressing the green button. When it's pressed, the

stops down to the selected aperture, the shutter speed is selected, and

lens opens back up. Pressing the shutter release then takes the photo

the selected settings. I now no longer have to use an external meter
with
my M lens, and get center weighted metering from the camera.

Just for clarification: does this upgrade mean that K and M lenses are
useable
in aperture priority mode, or stopped down?

Friends, we have improved K-mount compatability. Now, with the lens off "A", putting the camera into manual and
pressing
the
green button will give the "correct" shutter speed. EV comp im manual is a nice touch. The ist D camera just got a whole lot better.
