Hi, The XG-M has the 'feature' of locking the shutter if it calculates that the exposure will be overexposed at all. That means your once in a lifetime shot...
I know that Minolta continued to make plenty of new cameras -- auto-focusing and digital -- after they stopped making manual-focus gear. But I also know that...
