It does what amounts to aperture priority with a simple push of the green button. It will set the shutter speed automatically, so you really have only one motion to complete, pushing the button. I don't understand why some feel this is difficult. I do it in situations with constantly changing exposure and have never experienced a problem or felt inconvenienced.
As has been pointed out by others, using K and M lenses on the ist-D is
much simpler than using K and M lenses on a KX or MX - cameras for which
these lenses were originally intended.
Anyone who has difficulty using K/M lenses on an ist-D needs to get out and practice manual shooting with an MX, K1000 or Spotmatic.
