I'm still confused about Av (or Av is not working for me), with full manual (like an M42) lens.
If I put the mode to Av, I thought all I had to do was leave the lens wide open, e.g., with the 28mm Soligor I set it to f2.8, and put the mode to Av. Whether or not I hit the green button, and then shoot, it looks like it's coming in underexposed (too dark).
Can someone explain how I should use Av with such an manual lens?
Thanks,
Jim
Jim,
The way I found the Green Button to work is as follows:
1> Camera ring set to "M"
2> Focus switch set to "M"
3> ISO is NOT set to Auto (it is manually selected)
4> Green button will stop down lens & meter
5> Shutter speed is automatically set by camera on click
6> Bracketing works - in this case the shutter speed changes to get the three shots
The Green button (stop down metering) does not work if ISO is set to a range - the camera then meters and shoots with the lens wide open.
