I bought an Optio 33L a year ago; the swivelling
screen was essential for my wife's research, which
involves shooting 16th century documents in musty
archives. It's been pretty good as an
always-in-my-backpack camera, too.
This morning, though, I stopped to do some shooting on
my way to work, and the camera came up with an
exposure of f/4.8 at 1/420. One can't adjust such
things on this model. Changing the film speed changed
the shutter speed, but I couldn't get a smaller
aperture than 4.8 (which was frustrating, because I
wanted DOF much more than speed).
How did Pentax come up with such a dumb program line?
I guess it's time to think about shelling out for a
more sophisticated camera....
