But when i shoot a series of something i turn it off because i want the densities to match up right in a series of prints. Yes i find an A for Auto setting very useful and would most often have it as my default setting. What i don't know is how easy is this setting over rideable and in which manner is it done? Perhaps just with the shutter release. You want more exposure you point it at something darker and hold it down. Actually if that's the case than that would be a bit of a pain. I'd think Stephan if had had user experience in A mode would know better so we'll see. You need to be able to hold an A setting to make that mode usable i think. Hold it for a series of exposures. Deep Throat will have to play with the camera and find out. I'm sure he knows by now. We'll have to find out when he decides to call me next. I have to not upset him or he might stop calling.
