Having it at the back also means that you can keep tapping it as I reframe or the light changes, _without_ moving any fingers. That's what I like.
It looks I've got to make new habits. Hope you are right about it getting automatic after a while. Most likely you are. But I can see myself tapping the wrong button when changing from new body to backup body. I can also hear myself using improper language over Pentax while missing shots because of this. I'm probably making a lot of fuzz over a minor thing. Could be because I have a bad cold and are in a bad mood ;-) Tim Mostly harmless (just plain Norwegian) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14. september 2006 16:11 To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: Green button and ergonomics. Having the green button near the shutter button means you can keep tapping it as you reframe or if the light changes. I tend to work my finger back and forth from the green to the shutter frequently when shooting with a K or M lens. It soon becomes an automatic.
