Hello,
I have verified a minor bug on release version 1.2-2997-full on two different cameras (the A630 and the A650IS).
The bug is this:
If you are overriding the shutter speed using the Ev step method, and set the Ev step value to the SLOWEST value allowed for that camera, NO shutter override will take place. You have to back up to the "next to slowest" shutter speed for the override Tv value to work.
For example, on the A630, the slowest value in the Ev step method is 2048 seconds. When that is selected, no override takes place, but if you back up one step to 1625 seconds, the override works correctly. (Yes, I actually use these very slow speeds for taking star trail photos in astro-photography).
Similarly on A650 IS, the slowest value in the Ev step method is 64 seconds. When that is selected, no override takes place, but if you back up one step to 50.8 seconds, the override works correctly.
As an aside, it sure would be nice if the A650 IS could take longer shutter speeds than 64 seconds.
When I formerly owned an A640, I found it strange that the A640 could only take a 64 second exposure, while the A630 (which was basically the same camera with reduced sensor resolution) could take a 2048 second exposure. I wonder if these maximum length shutter speeds have really been verified lately....
