Hi, David! Thanks for the reply. Nice to know that the elctronic
shutter only does the "jelly roll" in extreme situations. I'm giving it
a try. Not feeling the shutter movement in my hands is probably a good
thing. It is a little weird not to hear anything when the exposure is
made, though. I notice there is a blinking on the screen--maybe that
will be enough.
Yes, I think I'm going to love the camera once I get it set up. It's
just that when initially confronted with 80,642 settings, it feels a bit
bewildering at first. I think the menu system was designed by the
offspring of a Japanese designer who won the award for "most stuff in
menus," and an American programmer with autism who won the "obfuscated
C" programming contest several years in a row. And some of the goofy
terminology is bizarre: a button is not a button, it's a button function
to which you bind a "button task."
All that said, it's a fine camera. I'm sure it can do anything I want it
to. I just gotta find the function objects. Ah, well, with freedon comes
responsibility. :-) :-) :-)
Now to see if I will succumb to Lens Acquisition Syndrome. That
12-40/2.8 is tempting. But I do prefer the fast, small primes, and I've
already got them. I have occasionally used my >50mm Leica and OM Zuiko
lenses as telephotos, with good results. Convenience vs. size and weight...
Best to you and Rose.
