Apart from the features mentioned by others, one of the best features on the MZ-S is how well aperture priority and manual mode are integrated. I believe many Pentax users use aperture priority and manual as their main exposure modes because these are the modes common on some of the Pentax most popular models. When I'm in aperture priority mode and want to change the cameras setting I just turn the main dial until I get the desired exposure value; the cameras goes automatically into manual mode. When I want the camera to automatically set shutter speed again I just press the green button on the front of the camera. In addition, all metering modes are available with the turn of a switch. Hence, all modes i want to use are instantly available without the need to scroll through menus. P�l ----- Ah, Pal, I believe as you do too. I think advance user probably uses Av and Manual mode more often (except those action shooter ;-). I myself prefer to use the HyperProgram of the PZ-1 for quick or snap shooting but switch to HyperManual by setting the aperature ring and set the exposure with IF button. I guess I call this Manual Aperture Priority ;-). I use HyperManual very often. BTW, is there HyperManual in the MZ-S? You're right about having to scroll through the menu on the PZ-1. This is why I only use the two modes mentioned above :-(. Ron B[ee] - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
