I recall watching James Nachtwey work in "War Photographer," the documentary about him, and it looked like he handled all the controls from a little wheel up near the shutter release of his camera, a film Canon. I thought how nice and easy that looked, and how much better control it seemed to provide. It'll fun to experiment with this feature.
