WILLIAM ROBB WRITES: The only things I would nitpick are:
Is: "IS NOT anywhere even remotely as automated" not still automated? And if it is even slightly automated, is it, by definition, automated? It is certainly not manual, and it kinda has to be one or the other. ============================================================================ ================================================================= You are by defintion a very SLOW LEARNER-How many times do I have to tell you that GB mode (green button) nowhere near as automated as K/M AE mode? And by your own post yesterday you proclaimed that PROGRAMMED AE which is even more automated that K/M AE is very important to users but at the same time say K/M AE which is much closer to program AE than GB is isnt better than green button? if K/M AE is automating compensation for ALL VARIABLES- like f-stop setting, subject reflectance, incident lighting, ISO, ETC. and doing it ALL tHEY TIME, AND WITHOUT any help from the user ( not asking you to push ANY buttons ever in the mode) and GREEN BUTTON NEEDS YOU TO MANUALLY PUSH A BUTTON FIRST - then only one sets a shutter speed for you once and then continoually requires you to keep MANUALLY keep pushing pushing pushing pushing the button button button button again and again and again and again THEN GUESS WHAT? Its NOT kinda one or the other! Are you trying to say that since its not pure manual ( the shutter speed setting doesn't have to be selected when you push button) that makes it "AUTOMATIC" and ALL AUTOMATICS are identical? As you can see, that's not the case.. the green button mode is not EVEN REMOTELY as automated, is this clear enoght for you? I can believe you are actually so stuck on this and see how green button isnt even close to the function of K/M AE. CANT YOU SEE THAT K/M AE is WAY WAY WAY MORE AUTOMATED no matter whether you call GB "AUTOMATIC" or not? We use and compare the user friendliness of the FUNCTIONS not the names of the functions. This isnt brain surgery, but based on your replies and questions is seems like you don't have a clue whats going on here.... JCO
