K100D resets Exposure Compensation when batteries changed

1964 lenses · 06-13-2008, 12:51 AM

When I remove and change the AA batteries of my K100D Super, the Exposure Compensation is reset back to zero.

If I merely switch the camera on and off, the setting is retained.

I usually dial in a non-zero EV compensation.

Note: I use Focus Indication with Screwmount lenses, and Aperture Ring is permitted, because I am using M42 screwmounts.

That's probably because it stores EV compensation in volatile memory.

I don't see what the big deal is.
