It's still annoying and it still hoovers. With all the features,
functions, modes, buttons, and dials on these wunderkameras, you'd think
it
would be a simple matter to completely turn off the damned flashing arrow.
Likewise the green focus indicator. But noooo! In this case the camera
knows what's best for the photographer. Feh! Having these things in the
finder is like a poke in the eye! What, prey tell, might the reasoning be
behind this behavior?
It's a conspiracy to alienate whatever customer base they haven't already
alienated by making K/M lenses as difficult to use as humanly possible.
Seriously, most people are using that stuff, or just accept that it is
there.
You want rid of it, you would also need to have more menu lines to wade
through during initial setup, with the neccessary increase in street price
of the camera to pay for the inclusion of the extra programming needed to
allow it to happen.
Just a wild guess, I doubt if enough people find it bothersome for them to
do what you want.
Just a wilder guess, it never occurred to them that anyone would find it
annoying.
