there is no mechanical coupling between the DOF preview button and the aperture

I have the Optio 230, and I always turn off the LCD to save batteries. I
only use it to compose close up shots because the viewfinder is

I find that the 230 makes pretty good macro shots, but the flash is
useless beyond 6 or 7 feet.
