[QUOTE="blackstar, post: 803244, member: 47518"] A new feature of z: override AF and its activation option, has made me troubled great. The override function is made default on S lenses (not available for other lenses), but disabling the function can be done on only SOME of the S lenses. I happen to use the 20mm f1.8 S which is not on the list of "SOME", so can't disable the function. The problem is this lens is made with almost the whole length into its "focus ring" that when operating in AF mode my holding left hand can easily, unknowingly, inevitably touch any part of the ring and instantly switch to MF. Very troublesome! Before Nikon updates the firmware, I might deem to be disappointed. How does assigning some special function to the focus ring (as a functional ring) in AF mode to override the "override AF" work? If it does work, how does it affect MF mode? Need to try this to confirm. But if you already did, please share it. Thanks [/QUOTE]
