skimmel Posted September 20, 2009 Share #21 Posted September 20, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I love the soft release function. I always shoot in Manual so no need for exposure lock, and to me the M8 shutter always seemed like it had too much travel. Problem solved--but you can still set it the old way if you prefer, so there's no real downside. During my short test the soft release seemed to make a huge difference in the feel of the camera, though I don't know how it will translate to actual handholding ability. I'll leave my M9s permanently set to soft + discreet. I agree. The M9 I tried out was set to soft release when I first picked it up and I really liked it. When I changed it back to the "normal" release, it actually felt a bit "clunky" in contrast. (Not that normal is bad as I've been using it without problems with my M8 for years, just that the soft release really does feel better to me.)

grduprey Posted September 20, 2009 Share #22 Posted September 20, 2009 There is always Manual Exposure mode, which gives you the same exposure time after time, until you change it. Simple fix. Gene Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lars_bergquist Posted September 20, 2009 Share #23 Posted September 20, 2009 Yes, but a locking lever (lock this way, unlock opposite) would be much quicker. I know, my Olympus OM-2 Spot and OM-4 Ti had it. Ideally, the lever should be where the on-off one is now.
