Thanks Michel, very helpful... So the green button will stop the lens down an measure the light, the *ist D will remember the metering, re-open the aperure and shoot (stopped down) at the correct speed...?? No, I don't think I really understand - I guess I'll have to have the camera in my hand to actually get it. All the best
