He might just learn that photography can be an engrossing and
interesting experience, rather than just a mechanical exercise
in aligning the match needle in the viewfinder.
He *might* even learn that he enjoys the creative and artistic
side of being a photographer.
The solution isn't an ME, but nobody is claiming that it is.
But an ME Super, or Super Program, or an MZ-M, or even an MZ-7 works.
Show him how he can outperform the camera by careful and intelligent
choice of shutter speed and/or aperture setting, and you've provided
a powerful case of learning by example.
