I already own an MZ-S, but would like to know how other owners use their depth of field preview.
I used to point my camera at the nearest object that I wanted to be in focus, half pressed the shutter release to focus, and then re-composed. Then I would check the DOF, but to do this I had to release the shutter release. So when I re-pressed the shutter release the camera re-focused (to my annoyance). I've recently switched technique and disabled auto-focus on the shutter release. So now I use the auto focus button on the camera back, which means I can fiddle with the DOF preview and all the other buttons and the focus remains fixed. I was wondering if anybody has found a different or better technique of using the DOF preview ? It strikes me that if the DOF preview lever was placed in a more suitable place, then I would be able to hold the shutter release down with one finger whilst operating the DOF preview with another.
