Au contraire, mon ami!
With an electronic shutter, the COMPUTER can
adjust it for you. Whether the Super Program
or the ZX-M, or any other.
BUT
Take out your Spot, KX, or MX. (Try LX as well.)
Set the SS for 1 sec. and fire. Easy to time.
Set the SS for 1/2 sec. and fire. The difference
is clear.
NOW
Set the ss *in between* and fire. You should be able to tell the difference. Why?
Because of
the Mechanical coupling. There is a difference.
The shortcoming is that it's not as predictable
as the electronic units. But it IS Stepless.
You want to keep the same aperture setting but get just a fraction more or less
exposure? Just turn the SS dial a little bit. Don't worry about the detents --
they're just for convenience. You're free to stop anywhere in between.
Try THAT with your electronic gizmos, ya helpless techno-wimps!

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Electronic shutters are (or can be) infinately variable. If the meter calls
for 1/361 sec. that is what you get. Mechanical shutters are set increments
and not usually adjustable.
