Hi Allbest.
After an hour of playing with my A620 and S3, I'll try to explain in, so I hope, more descriptive way.
Settings (A620 and S3 - build #49):
Show misc values Shoot
Show values in video ON
Show zoom ON
Show real aperture ON
Show market ISO ON
Show DOF calculator In Misc
Show Subject distance in misc ON
Displayed labels - A620 and S3 photo mode:
- no keypress : zoom
- half press : zoom, aperture, distance, iso
note1: evertything works fine in photo mode on A620
note2: on S3, image distance label doesn't show change of focus, if AF mode is set to
"continuous", although camera is refocusing all the time
Displayed labels - A620 video mode set on command dial:
- no keypress : zoom, aperture, distance, iso
- half press : zoom, aperture, distance, iso
- recording : zoom, aperture, distance, iso
note1: Aperature and iso are updated regularly, image distance is updated
on half press (that's how camera works). Zoom value is also updated regularly
during video recording, and image distance label shows how camera is refocusing
after zoom change during video recording (or within my video script with MF ability).
note2: iso label shows 0 if camera was switched on with command dial in video mode.
Turning the dial to one of photo modes and back to video solves this issue
Displayed labels - S3 video mode set on command dial:
- no keypress : zoom, aperture, distance, iso
note: aperture and iso updated regularly, but image distance isn't updated although
AF is working all the time in video mode (unless MF is on, of course)
- recording, started with dedidated movie button (with command dial in video or photo mode) : zoom only
note1: aperture, distance and iso are displayed on half press of the shutter during recording
note2: image distance is also displayed during recording in MF mode
note3: with "Show misc values"="Allways", aperture, distance and iso are displayed, but
distance and iso are not updated according to conditions
note4: same issue with iso displaying 0 as on A620
