The Olympus E - M1 has a feature where you can set the camera up so that with the rear screen tilted up where you touch on the screen focuses what the camera sees at that touched point and when focus is achieved the camera trips the shutter. This happens very quickly and means you can take photos without holding the camera away from you to see the rear screen or bring the EVF up to your eye. It also means that subjects are not sure whether or not you are taking a picture. All of the pictures here were taken with the M1 and the Olympus 12 - 40 f2.8 Pro lens. Several samples using this technique are in the following folder containing 10 photos - especially showing Kafu and Greg in action. Here's the first one and then shift to the right for the rest. Please look large. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/ShauKeiwan/NoEntryw.jpg.html> http://tinyurl.com/ljbktnp C&C always welcome. Cheers Howard.
