The SF20 will set itself to whatever ISO setting the M8 is set to. Then push the aperture button until the f stop on the SF20 screen blinks and set the distance / f stop with the + and - buttons until the f stop is set for the appropriate setting. You can set the exposure compensation in the same way. It works just fine. Len On Apr 27, 2007, at 2:28 PM, Robert D.
