Yep, and the ZX-series was *totally* inconsistent. ZX-5 and ZX-5n -- the user could not set the aperture from the body, only on the lens ZX-10 -- the user could set the aperture from either body or lens ZX-30, -50, -60 -- the user could not set the aperture on the lens, only from the body (and I don't know about the -7 and the -6, but I'm guessing they're like the - 10?)
