It makes an educated guess . . . good though!The camera is magic!!
how does it detect what f stop I am using, even though the lenses are manual?
Is it some light detection algorithm? or a mechanical connection between the lens and camera?
Thanks
One might say the M8 (and the M9) has two exposure meters. One measures light through the lens, and that´s the one that actually determines exposure times in Auto, or generates the readouts in Manual.....how does it detect what f stop I am using, even though the lenses are manual?...
For focal length and max aperture data, yes, you need to be using a 6-bit coded lens on the M8. The M9 has an option to manually select the lens from a menu.I'm guessing that the lens has to be coded for this to work???
LOLI don't think Aperture reads and displays this info (a little ironic, actually)
its true, Aperture can't display the aperture...LR and C1 display aperture info. I don't think Aperture reads and displays this info (a little ironic, actually). Any Aperture users want to chime in here?
