So you can't keep everyone happy. That's definitely the truth. I obviously don't see the lack of AA support as a killer. Might have taken a 9V though... I would guess the they are not capable of supplying the current required... Tom C. From: Lawrence Kwan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To:

If you move the camera at all after the metering has been set with the AE-Lock button, the EV value will reflect the difference between what is now in the meter's sight and what was metered on. It's quite sensitive. I often find it is off by .2 to .7 EV in either direction because I don't
