John Black Posted June 19, 2013 Share #141 Posted June 19, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thank you but no thanks. The way it is now is just fine. Olaf, glad the front button arrangement works for you, but I cannot press the front button and change the dial with my thumb at the same time. The front button needs to be pressed head-on and that's not an easy angle to achieve when supporting the camera and trying to get my thumb into position to change the EC. The M9 had various menu options for EC adjustment, so if Leica would just (add an option to) take away the button press, that would be good enough for me. But, that will create some complications for Leica because the wheel would become modal. It would be easier (for them) to swap the buttons rather writing / editing conditional code addressing the wheel's function depending on the camera state (shutter 1/2 press, Live View, image review, etc --- that's alot of conditions to address).

lct Posted June 19, 2013 Share #142 Posted June 19, 2013 Olaf, glad the front button arrangement works for you, but I cannot press the front button and change the dial with my thumb at the same time... Did you try to press the front button with your left index finger? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
01af Posted June 19, 2013 Share #143 Posted June 19, 2013 Did you try to press the front button with your left index finger? I don't know what everybody else does—I am pressing it with my right middle finger. Works just fine. No idea why everybody is complaining so bitterly about this front button ...

lct Posted June 19, 2013 Share #144 Posted June 19, 2013 Because using three fingers of the same hand is difficult for some (most?) people and painful for this Thumbs Up user. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
