First, I would like to say hello to all the forum members.

Now the question.

I have been shooting a K20D for quite some time, I am now in the market for a K3. I looked at reviews and camera specs, but for the life of me I do not see a Green button on this camera. The only Green button I seen was dedicated to video. If this camera does have a green button, where is it located? I would assume the Green button would function as usual, if there is such a button to be found on this model? I shoot manual with tons of M42 lenses and have come to rely on the old Green button. I do have a couple light meters so no Green button wouldn't kill the deal.

Thanks,
Kevin

It's the button you saw on the back, just below the e-dial, it has nothing to do with video. The movie cam you see is for the switch just below the green button to toggle from still shooting to video mode.

Welcome to the forum, BTW!

Thanks Al. I thought that was the button for the video.
