Then if you max out the upper ISO setting it goes slower on the shutter speed. I am still seeing reports on the LUF that speed option is limited in lens dependent setting. I don't see that on my camera. Dang I already lust after the M8.2 just for the new frame-line settings, quieter shutter and re-cock option, und die sch?ne klassische vulkanit!.

A blinking arrow in the viewfinder lets you know when you are going to underexpose. Len On Sep 18, 2008, at 9:39 PM, Geoff Hopkinson wrote: > Sonny, I have these settings with 6 bit lens.
