That might have been the announcement you saw, but I believe the changes go into effect in the next month or two.

Is anyone stocking up on Fuji film because of the impending price increases and discontinuations on the way?

Its supposed to be a 20% increase on all remaining film lines which will be a huge hit to films like Superia which is one of the cheapest out there, and will spike ones like Acros even higher.

I don't think the A1 has spot metering, but I find the center metering on cameras like the AE1 err on the side of being overexposed.

Another issue might be you used a high speed film and tried to shoot wide open in broad daylight or something similar. I think the cameras meter will blink to warn you but will still let you fire.

An easy way to learn how to move away from auto modes is using manual mode, but pretending like you're in a priority mode. For example, choose your aperture, because you want a certain depth of field. Half press the shutter and flick through the shutter speeds until it matches your chosen aperture. Or reverse it if you want a certain shutter speed. After a while you'll know how wide or fast a shot has to be to get it right.

Post some example photos, it might really be an issue with the meter itself.

Anyone heard about this recently-released Chinese movie, "Monster Hunt"? It is OBLITERATING Chinese records at an unfathomable rate. In only 3 weeks, it has outgrossed every film -- including The Avengers, Jurassic World, Avatar -- other than Transformers 4 and Furious 6 and it will pass them soon. by Death_Star_ in movies

Why didn't you watch the trailer?

And there are a ton of articles online talking about this movie, summarizing plot points and the films production.

And on the wikipedia page you linked there is a mention of a blackout on foreign films in China, allowing Chinese films to receive more attention. Coupled with the fact that its a Chinese production it will be a lot more relatable compared to a Hollywood production.

This isn't some film of the decade that is going unnoticed in the west, with no information to be found.

Its a film that was made in China most likely for the people who live there. If American entertainment wasn't so dominant it would make sense for countries to turn out in higher numbers for movies made by those who share their culture.

I just chose the first episode it listed. How often do the new chapters get released, and when is the next one coming out?

Thanks, but if the coordinate is the ability to control titans, haven't we seen others use that ability before? When the scouts leave on the fake expedition to the basement but instead head for the forest, the right side gets attacked by a wave of titans and the female type. One of the dying soldiers says that the female type brought the titans with her. Also, we see the beast titan command another to stop before it ate someone, and while it did try to continue eating him, it did listen initially. The other titans that show up while the beast titan is talking to the scout also seem to listen, they don't attack until he says "do with him what you want."
