Way back in the mid-'80s, I was going to college learning computer
programming. One of my professors was of the opinion that menues were
the sign of poor software design. He had a few good reasons for that,
but since menus were still cool, so we pretty much ignrored him.
I've mentioned it many many times, but one of the brilliances of the
OM system is the mode switch design. Go to full manual, set your
aperture and shutter speed for your "correct" exposure and then flip
the switch back to aperture-priority to let the camera adapt. Just
keep an eye on the metering. When the indicated shutter speed doesn't
jive with what you think is reasonable, just flip it back to manual,
get the shot and flip it back. This can be done entirely by feel and
you never need to take your eye off the subject.
