Since I'm shooting in aperture priority mode most of the time and relying on the meter to decide shutter speed for me, and since you have to hold it away from your face to see the LCD, you can sort of leave your thumb on the OK button. In Manual mode, the dial around the OK button controls the shutter speed, so that's sort of fine too. With u4/3 lenses (such as the 17mm), if you tap the shutter button it zooms back out. -DT 2009/8/20 Gary Todoroff <datamaster at northcoastphotos.com> > > My main gripe with it is having to manually zoom in to focus.
