manual aperture? Does anyone know if the 970 allows you to manually set the aperture?

No, you can't set the aperture, but see my review; you can set the ISO speed, or chose "kids & pets" program if you want a wide aperture and fast shutter. You can also bracket the exposure +/- 2 "increments" but I haven't played with that yet to see if it alters the aperture or shutter speed, or both!

You could probably change the ISO/shutter/aperture settings to compensate for low lighting, but I usually set it to Auto mode, and I feel it's not bad. I can still see relatively well although it's rather noisy/fuzzy (it hardly bothers me, but I usually try to avoid low lighting anyways).

My Sony A77 controls aperture with one of the control wheels on the body itself. Made for a digital world :-)

mmmm it doesn't have a preset for shooting no, but put it in aperture priority and you're good to go. with this camera, you don't want presets. hard to explain unless you;re holding it and using it. i'm shooting pro with this baby with the 70-200 2.8 and it's a dream. i do wish it had more focus points and i don't like the card slot at the bottom of the camera. not deal breakers, but it is a little annoying at times. at the end of the day, the photo is what matters and this camera is truly helps me take stunning pics - every time. i've had this camera since december.

No, aperture is controlled manually. FD lens cannot be controlled automatically.

Have you tried Aperture yet? It's the program I use, and am admittedly a fan of.

Yes and nine other settings of higher resolution. 640 x 480 will work in auto mode as well for point and shoot. Other higher modes require custom settings.

No, you will have to manually set the aperture on the lens via the aperture ring.

Yes, limited functionality: no AF, no metering. Aperture can not be adjusted electronically. So if your lens doesn't have an aperture ring, you can't change the settings.

John,The first one I bought from here did not have that feature. I exchanged it with Photodiox directly and the adapter did adjust aperture. It is unclear to me how to get the "right" adaptor on the first try....Cheers.

Hello Martin, Go to your menu and navigate to the number one page. You'll see "Release w/o Lens", change that to enable and you're set! Hope that helps!

I am not sure if you are asking how low can you go as in is there lower then 1.8, BUT aperture can go as low as 1.2 which is EXPENSIVE. 1.8 is just fine if you are thinking cost effectiveness.

Like the others, I'm not certain, but the feature set seems very similar except for dual flush volumes on the 970 model. I can't account for the apparent cost difference between them from what I see here. We love this model (950) and have had it for about 1 1/2 years without any problems.

You can set it based on the type of picture.. I have mine on burst and it takes it instantly. There are also advanced exposure settings and color preferences.

So far the only way is to manually set the vertical / portrait view is through the windows display tool or graphic card utility tool. I wish it could do this automatically as it turns (that would be a cool feature). I'm still experimenting with it. If I find out more, I will definately post it. You can also post your questions on their facebook page and see if they can help.

Perfectly? 1. Have you been able to use the LCD display to set a timed interval exposure? 2. did you try to use the grip's arrow buttons to move the focus point while in live mode?

works excellent! with aperture priority you change the f/ stop manually on your lens and exposure time/shutter speed will adjust automatically in your camera.Use manual focus assist to pull your focus on the lens.
