Being of sound mind and actually thinking about these B.S. pentax hacks instead of just blindly accepting them, I just realized what seems to be another major FLAW in green button vs. the good old K/M AE.
If you are using a variable aperture zoom then EVERY TIME YOU CHANGE ZOOM SETTING you have to do the green button slavery because the real aperture is changing and green button mode doesn't take that into account. the K/M true AE mode does not make this stupid exposure mistake or major inconvenience for the user because the K/M true AE mode is continous and needs no user intervention at all at any time. variable apeture zoom changes with green button you have to keep jumping hoops over and over again...OR GET EXPOSURE ERRORS and we all know that digital is more exposure accuracy sensitive in general than film, specifically neg film so this extra error is very undesireable with digital so now you not only have to do the green button dumbo-work everytime you change the aperture setting, you have to do it everytime you change the zoom setting too. El Sucko revealed! ARE WE DONE YET? How many key points do I have to make on this issue? GREEN BUTTON sucks compared to true AE K/M mode....For a whole bunch of reasons and this one is major and REAL too. Put that in your pipe and smoke it for a while, hows another dose of reality for ya? Its amazing what PENTAX doesn't tell you isnt it? Thank God not all of us are so gullible to think that green button is "just as good" when its OBVIOUSLY NOT the same and nowhere near as good as K/M true AE. I want it back in there dammit. NO more excuses... jco
