The camera still is not aware of the aperture set on the lens. That's what is missing from the *ist series.
Set an A lens off "A" use a small aperture i.e. F16 or F22 (I did this with one of my lenses this morning after upgrading to test it) Set Mode dial to Manual look in viewfinder and press green button. the aperture won't show up (it NEVER will with a lens off the "A" position) but the shutter speed will change and the viewfinder will get dark for a fraction of a second. You've just used "stop-down" metering. take a picture. it should be exposed properly Christian ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Lesser" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, January 09, 2004 4:59 PM Subject: Re: version 1.1 > >Now, with the lens off "A", putting the camera into manual and pressing the > >green button will give the "correct" shutter speed. > > I've just installed v1.1 and have tried several A lenses in "off A" > apertures and when I press the green button in Manual, all I get is > a flashing "Av--" in the LCD panel.
