Thanks, P.J.! That was the "problem". Nothing had actually malfunctioned. However, I do think it's confusing for the camera to claim it's in TAv mode in that circumstance. Perhaps in a pure manual mode, one shouldn't be allowed to use Auto-ISO? There are plenty of other modes where you can us

Personally, I think the camera is doing exactly the right thing. It's warning you that, although you've set the dial to "M", it's actually going to be working in TAv mode becase "Auto ISO" is on. Presumably if you turn Auto ISO off it then shows the mode as "M". On Mon, Mar 31, 2014 at 10:52:59

Yes, once the Auto ISO is turned off, the screen on the rear shows the mode as manual once again. I still think it's counterintuitive, and a bit of clumsy interface design, for the dial on top to say "M" (for manual mode), while the screen on the back says something entirely different. I'm no
