Or, you can put the camera in M mode. In this mode, when you hit the "green button" the K10D will stop the lens down, to the selected aperture, and take an accurate meter reading. And you're ready to release the shutter. Ideally, between each shot, you need to hit the green button before opening the shutter so the camera takes an accurate meter reading.
I don't get it ... everyone says that in M mode hit the green button and the camera will
meter
Not my k10d though ... when i hit the green button, it does stop down to the selected aperture for a split second and that's it !
NO METER reading
I can only get a meter reading using the optical preview ... when turned it stops down and give a meter reading .
So what 's wrong with my green button? ... I have tried all 3 options in the Custom menu for allocating the Green button in M mode (P shift, Tv shift, Av shift) , all the same with no metering.
Is it a firmware difference here? I am still in ver 1.10.
