What happened to you is exactly the problem I had with the G-1 and 20 mm lens while I was shooting in England recently. My big, fat hands would accidentally touch some d*mn button or wheel and I'd then shoot a whole bunch of over exposed, underexposed or out of focus pictures. These cameras all need lock buttons in their controls. If Apple can put a lock on the iPod, Panasonic, et. al., can certainly do it on their cameras. I'm hoping the primary X-1 controls will be sufficiently be out of the way to avoid this problem. Regards, Dick On Nov 23, 2009, at 11:22 AM, Robert D.
