I didn't know that there is a multi-stage mode on the shutter release. Upon pressing it, will turn it on, then pressing it down further will lock the auto-exposure. Good thing that the shutter release is quite tactful and it works beautifully. I'm beginning to like the R4 auto-mode, except the "manual-mode" is literally (in German) "manual". - --- Doug Herr <telyt@earthlink.net> wrote: > on 3/19/02 6:41 PM, Henry Ting at > henryting10@yahoo.com wrote: > > > > > Thanks for all the replies on the whirling sound > of > > the R6.2. > > > > Since I got an R4 as well, without instructions, I > run > > into additional problems and hope someone here can > > walk me through it. > > > > On metering in "AE" mode... > > How do I lock the exposure after taking a reading > and > > than recompose for taking pictures.
