Then it's the same as the D, just a different button. That should work fine for you Shel. It's a lot like shooting without a meter. When i'm working with K lenses, I pick my stop, aim at a neutral, evenly lit target and press the green button. If I'm satisfied with that shutter speed I'll then just continue shooting at that exposure until I see that the light has changed. Sometimes I'll hit the button a couple of times, aiming the camera a bit different to see the variance in exposure between two objects. But once I settle on an exposure I'll continue to work with it until my eye says that the light is different. Paul
