Good. It operates as I thought.
On the subject of manual mode....or, you get to do all the work...
You must keep in mind that the EVF gives you a VF image that is always the same brightness, without regard to scene brightness... Black cat in coal bin at midnight = same brightness as baseball game at noon. Good for focusing, bad for setting camera up.
This is certainly really different than an SLR or an M.
Keep up the learning... I doubt there is a long learning curve.....

You are right. With a manual focus lens, you can only choose A or M;
however when I use A and I have the Noctilux set for 1.0, it records in the
EXIF as 1.4 or 1.7. With the SL lens, I often used T because the P program
chose a much slower shutter speed than I would normally use.
