I'm sorry, I don't understand what your guys are looking for, the EV
locking is for manual camera only. For aperture priority auto camera,
you can set what aperture you want, the shutter speed will be self
adjusted. Lock a EV? you can lock your exposure with "spot" in OM4,
which wonderbrick today will tell you the EV values?
