Can you, on the E3, adjust manually after focus has been made auto, or
easily and ergonomically "freeze" the focus before framing?
I find the latter difficult to perform on the L1 as the button is badly
located and you always risk getting your thumb into your eye when you try.

Thanks, Slobodan! I should have thought of that. I was using the
"center weighted" focus, which seems to work well for me, in most
cases.... but not this one.
try the center single AF spot for a while David...I think you will
much prefer it...
its mucha mora lika leica...
anythingthing else is not only a compromise, it's a virtual
unknown...with only the camera making the variable compromise...Steve
