OK so let's add an image inverting lens, and there you have it.
While we're at it, how about some circuitry to convert the manual aperture position to
an electronic signal, and all M and K lenses can be made fully compatible!
I'd buy one if I had a *ist-D (one day!).

Automatic flash turns the camera into a PS mode where the camera determines
whether the flash fires or not. So, if you have the RTF up, or a dedicated
flash on the shoe, if the lightning bolt is flashing, the flash will
automatically fire, otherwise it won't. In normal flash mode, it fires all
