Is that geeky ? I've not checked out a DLUX 4. I primarily shoot manual (I prefer knowing shutter, aperture, ISO and making informed choices as I work) with M8, R8/DMR, and 5D. When I need to speed things up I shoot Aperture priority, while keeping an eye on the shutter speed. I never shoot P. Can't imagine a reason to do so.
