So, if I understand what you're saying, you can set the camera so that it can under expose or over expose regardless of what the meter says is the ideal exposure, and that can be done either manually or in ap priority, and that you can override the camera's desire to change the iso. Shel Paul sai

Hi Shel, You can control the camera to expose exactly the way you want it to. In fact you have a great deal of control. You can use the camera in any of five exposure modes, including full manual. In some of the auto modes, you can also set it to change the ISO automatically if there's not enou

It's surely right that the nitwit mode should be the default. If it wasn't, the nitwits would never find it, so there would be no point in having it. John On Fri, 10 Sep 2004 12:42:04 -0400, Caveman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On my P&S (C**n) it works like this: AUTO ISO gives you ISO 50 unle

On my P&S (C**n) it works like this: AUTO ISO gives you ISO 50 unless you use flash and the subject would be out of range for proper illumination. In this case it will increase ISO to the necessary value to get a properly exposed shot. The one exception is when you set the camera mode to "Fast Sh

Thanks, Bruce. Your response makes me feel like the people portrayed in the film, Open Water, bobbing in a sea of technical complexities What I think I understand you to be saying is that the user can set the camera up to behave as desired, although it's not the default and may take some fiddlin

My second *istD and the DA 16-45 lens arrived late yesterday. i've set up identical functions and custom functions in both cameras. After some bad experiences with "auto sensitivity adjustment," I've turned that off. If you're on Aperture priority, it will switch to a higher ISO when it run

Hi, Juan. Good to have you back. Congrats on the purchase! Paul Stenquist and Cotty recently proved to me with one of my own images that the *ist D can deliver images to be enlarged to A3. That's sufficient quality for me for a good while. At least until a digital alternative using my Pentax 645 l

Welcome back, Juan. No doubt you'll love your new *ist D. There is no comparison to using the M6/film. The joy of getting to see and work with your pictures immediately is tremendous. And it works nicely. What I found most appealing is, that I think of my old Pentax stuff, as if I just got it. The

Glad you see you back. occures to me that photography as we know it actually started about 100 years ago (before that it was an alchemist's nightmare). So this century is the age of digital imaging. You are getting in on the ground floor, just like if you had bought one of those new fangled rol
