Re: Problem with shutter or aperture priority?
Using the viewfinder is not really going manual, its just a smother experience that is more in line with using a SLR camera. You can still be in viewfinder mode and shoot fully automatic, (but we'll talk you out of that too). Live view doesn't lend itself to quick shooting either. You'll notice a lot of clicking. To set up for live view, the mirror raises, the shutter opens. When you snap a pic, the shutter closes to begin a normal cycle, it opens for the selected shutter time, then closes, and finally, it re-opens to return to live view. Its a battery suck with all the screen time and extra motions, plus it doubles the 'miles' you put on your camera with the extra shutter actuation for each shot. I use it mainly for tripod shots where focus is critical. You can zoom in in live view and manually focus. Pretty much the only thing I like about LV.

Thanks a lot for that and thanks to everyone else who put a pennyworth in. Don't know what I would do without this forum.

Going off track a bit, my lens is an f2 macro but will only stop down to f2.2 when on aperture priority. Is this common?
Thanks

OK, thanks for that. Will have a look when I wake up. Just woke up, checked and it did go to f2, yay.
