[QUOTE="voxmagna, post: 694735, member: 38477"] True, but I believe software controls however complex should be intuitive, logical and common sense to the majority of intelligent humans. Unfortunately, many Japanese products offer complex 'fit all' options with an equally complex instruction manual to go with them. If you can select full manual operation and the shutter is locked out, it shouldn't be there. If there's low light I can see that on the metering just as I would do if I was using a separate exposure meter. I don't mind what they do for any of the assisted functions which requires learning and reading the manual, but manual control 'M' when selected should give me a manual camera. That's the failsafe and last resort for any situation where you might be fighting the software or a beginner learning the camera. I haven't tried a reset back to as delivered, but I don't recall changing the A1/A2 options, so I suspect default is to enable auto focus all the time and kill the shutter operation when focus can't be found? In what overiding and logical circumstances would you select the 'M' function and still expect the camera to be auto focussing? I would think in 'M' most would use the focus ring first without realising the camera would then re-focus on the half shutter press and the camera has chosen a new focus point for their shot? That would be the normal behaviour unless in my case there was nothing for it to focus on and the shutter release went dead. I'm happy with the answer from FredKingston, saved a new user config and 'M' for me will be just that, because even if I get a bad shot I will always see it in post view/zoom and a bad shot is better than no shot without wondering if there's a battery power or camera fault.
