Hi Geoff,

It first seemed ridiculous to me, but then I learned it was done that 
way to allow one to use different options in each of the finders.  I 
prefer to have them look the same. :-)

The other one that is kind of obscure with the X-E1 is when "Silent 
Mode" is selected in the setup menu.  With this selection, the flash 
will not work. :-D
