Ah, didn't know that. I have the an optical accessory finder on the GXR nearly all the time, I can always toggle from AF to MF with one button press, so I leave the AF set on to Spot AF mode and have learned how to target the correct region in the viewfinder. Touch the shutter release, lock in the focus, then tap the button. > But it's not the only thing that makes the camera difficult to use - there's > also the issue of moving the exposure compensation dial too easily - no > interlock - and it being too easy to press all the other little buttons.

Hmm, well, I prefer the M series starting in 1954, but I had IIIF, IIC and IIF for a long time too. The II and III series were a little fiddly too. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
