    Thanks @straight6pwr

    I think I've used the exposure compensation before. I know I've read the section of the manual about the AE button, but it sounded too complicated to me. 

    I usually just look at the shutter speed in the viewfinder while in aperture priority, then switch to manual and adjust it from there. I can see the advantage of letting the camera get it dialed versus the guess and check method though, so I may have to give those features another try.

    i suppose its all 'guess and check', its more a matter of which method is most efficient/intuitive for you.

          Tires on a daily basis.  Im increasing volume at a rate faster than my warehouse can deliver and we're working with a freight courier now but they've been in place for years with no competing bids.

              I always love coming across this video every now and then.

              It's also where my PF pic is from.

                        Just getting back from vacation here. Finding that I had to drive my FWD 80 HP civic on summer tires to work this morning really makes me wish I would have missed my flight home.  😫

                                Mine have been on for a couple weeks. Felt a bit weird putting them on because it was 60+ degrees that weekend, but it turned out to be the right move.

                                        I probably should put mine on.  The Indy500's were a bit sketch in the tiny bit of snow yesterday.
