*istD lens compatibility

Brilliant camera, right!
You can. You must first choose "other than A" in the customs menu somewhere.
Good luck.

Emne: *istD lens compatibility


Okay, guys, don't hit me over the head, I know this has been discussed
to death here, but I didn't care back then, and I care now.  ;-)

First, let me say how much fun I had this weekend with the *istD. I
mean, boatloads of fun.  If only there were a "Tri-X" switch so I
could get a proper B&W look without having to convert it later, it
would save time, but still, I have to say, using digital's a blast.

Can't wait until I get a computer so I can actually post stuff...

So, here's my question.  I want to use old lenses, and I thought I
just had to press the Infamous Green Button to get manual metering
with pre A lenses.

It didn't work.

The manual tells me that I can't use pre A lenses.  I seem to recall
that I can download something to allow my *ist D to do this?  Was it
called firmware or some such thing?  Where do I find this firmware,
and how do I download it?

Help!
