I fear manufacturers development departments are not good at thinking 'outside
of the box' and the short product cycles have cut down available time to let
foreigners test prototypes - to make the developers aware of things they just

I would like to see ISO displayed somewhere all the time (the top LCD

That really is a bright idea!
If I had a menu option Do you want 'ISO' or 'remaining pictures' displayed in
the finder? I would certainly go for ISO!
And then being able to adjust it (as you described) while looking through the
finder - brilliant.

I had a look and I don't think the display can do a 'K'. I believe it can
do an 'H' however - if that's any use ;-)

And it is easiest to implement as I suspect that this display has only 3
digits of 7-segment type.

Ah. Excellent solution! Three symbols and possible to show on a 7-segment

values for shutter speed,

Yes, that seems the best solution imho.
In fact, you don't really need that 'h' letter -
because the ISO starts from 200, so you can have
2,4,8,16 and 32. But the 'h' can tell you if you're
looking at the remaining picture indicator or at the
ISO setting.

I don't know if it can be done through firmware, but I vote for improved
flash TTL control.
Indeed. This would be nice.
On the ISO stuff, I'd be happy enough to always have ISO in the viewfinder
and frames on the top. But a menu to choose would be fine too. Either way,
it has to be clear
