Now, about the 4 way controller.
Unless I've missed something, the 4 way controller is broken. By
default, it provides access to the various functions, and one has to
press the OK button to get it to work as an AF point selector.
Unfortunately, it won't bloody stay as a focus point controller when
set to that function. It takes every possible opportunity to revert
to function control.
That's a fairly big "wtf" for me. I use manual AF point selection
most of the time on the K10D and I change it often, especially when
swinging between portrait & landscape. It was bugging me enough on
Sunday that I tried the auto point selection but I found it wasn't so
good with long glass.
I really like the idea of eye-controlled AF point selection... do
Canon still use that or did it not work out for them?
Good to hear from Dario that the issue will be resolved in a firmware
update. I hate to say that I'm sort of considering asking my local
camera shop for a price... (the list price on the K20D is horrendous
though).
