Thanks for the tip! BTW, I haven't used the camera much yet, am waiting for this flavor of ORF to be recognized by LR before I start giving it a workout. I have played a little with the feature that activates a zoom of sorts in the EVF when you try to touch up the focus (i.e., use the focus ring whilst AF is turned on). It could take some getting used to, but it could be very useful in macro shots or in longer telephoto shots. I like that they haven't merely added an EVF as a substitute for the missing optical finder, but have also used the technology to add capabilities not available with an optical setup. stan -- 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.
