You need the setting to use a K or M lenses one the *istD series
cameras. They will not even fire the shutter if not set to that.

Yes it probably is.
But the *ist D is different:
The manual says (Troubleshooting p. 153) the shutter won't fire if the
aperture is set to other than A (or a lens without A-setting is attatched).
After the first firmware update, a new setting was introduced: "Aperture
other than A" in the MENU. Then the camera will fire without an A lens set
to A - that goes for no lens, bellows etc. as well.

Emne: RE: *ist D -- F stop other than A
When this menu selection (F stop other
than A) is on, I understand the shutter
will release with the lens set to any F
stop.
Pardon my ignorance but isn't this true of
all cameras?

Subject: *ist D -- F stop other than A
When this menu selection (F stop other
than A) is on, I understand the shutter
will release with the lens set to any F
stop. Yes? But if there is no lens at
all will the shutter release? For
example a tube without *any* contacts at
all, but with a lens, or some other
thing on the end? I understand this will
work, but need to be sure.
