So still no ISO lock for TAv mode...
Why are they so stubborn?

You can also lock the iso at 8000 on TAv mode, you know?

What is the "ambient brightness" option on the new 3.0 GR firmware?
Thanks

How?
What did I miss?

I too am wondering what this setting actually does. The manual addendum says:

Added [Ambient Brightness]
It has two options: [Original] or [Normal] (The default setting is [Normal]). [Original] enables you to take pictures with the ambient light quantities comparable to those of the GR film cameras. In this mode, ORIG appears on the shooting screen.

I wonder if this setting is playing with the exposure setting or doing something on the lines of what the Dynamic Range option does?

Mhm, really don't know..
From what I understand, however, only works on jpeg.
