I wouldn't miss it. I generally beleive that any automatic function requires that you know how to outsmrrt it. In other words - more automatics means more thinking and more errors. I recently talked to someone who was going to graduate as a photographer shortly. She told me that they are taught to use only manual exposure controle. This is the only way to know - at least - most of what's going on.
If at all, I would prefere auto ISO setting like this: Set ISO automatically within a certain interval, i.e. ISO 200-800. For really critical work - like concert shots, it would be great to be able to tell the camera this: Use 800-3200 ISO but don't ever go below 1/60 secs. This way I could set the aperture (Av) to F.4 and get good / useable shots every time :-) A grainy shot is still better than an unsharp shot. The ISO setting would vary instead of the shutterspeed. Perhaps the K10D works something like this in Sv mode? Wouldn't that be just GREAT!

I mean two separate ISO settings for available light and flash photography, so that you can set say ISO 1600 for flashless shots and ISO 200 for flash. The camera should be able to automatically switch by sensing flash on/flash off, without the need for the photographer to manually switch back and forth all the time when you shoot concerts and the like. For the same reason, two independent white balance settings would be welcome as well (e.g. flash for the flash and AUTO or Tungsten for nighttime shooting). Again, the camera should switch between the two settings according to flash on/fash off. Why not? Is this a good idea or has it already gone down the toilert for a good reason? Is there any DSLR doing that? Dario -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- No virus found in this incoming message.
