Miller - Thank you for clarifying that. I didn't know about defaulting to the lowest ISO until I saw something about it in the manual today, but I didn't catch that it was only if ISO was set to AUTO.

I have a lot to learn. Now that I have some practical experience and a little knowledge under my belt, I need to re-read the manual from scratch to catch the things I missed the first time through.

Thanks, M80 and Miller.

I'm sorry. I should have been more clear. I meant that if I meter on, let's say, the sky, and then recompose, the EV bar is not in the middle after the recomposing, but I just ignore that because I am deliberately metering on the sky. On the other hand, if I am trying to just go with the camera's metering, if I recompose, I will need to change the aperture, shutter or ISO to get back to the middle of the EV bar.

Thank you for your patience.

Miller -

Thanks for your quick reply! So then, when I pull my eye away, even if the EV bar changes from the center, I just ignore that, the same way I ignore it if I recompose, etc. I understand.

I am glad to hear that because I am starting to like shooting in M.

Thank you, again.

I have the K10D and there is part of the manual that I find unclear. I'm hoping someone can help.

When using the remote shutter release or cable switch, the manual says to use the ME viewfinder cap or AE-lock. After that it says:

"Ignore the light entering the viewfinder when the exposure mode is set to M..."

I think this means that if we are in M mode, then the CAMERA will ignore light entering the viewfinder so we don't need to use the cap. Is that right?

I am hoping so because the eyecup needs to come off to use the viewfinder cap. Also, I don't really want to use AE-lock in M mode because that kind of makes it like P mode. (Unless that is my misunderstanding.)

In practice, are most people using the viewifinder cap or locking exposure or neither?

Sorry for the newbie questions. (At least I am reading the manual. :) )

Some stores don't really want you to purchase Pentax DSLRs.

I brought my K10D in to Unique Photo here in NJ to look for a bag. Although they don't carry Pentax cameras, the sales people were very polite and friendly. They were interested to see my camera and study it a bit because they had heard about it.
