  • exposure compensation is ignored when you set aperture and shutter speed (manual exposure) which is a mistake, since when you use it with auto ISO (which is great, don't disable it) it always tries to expose for the "neutral exposure, 0". This is problematic in darker/brighter situations.

  • auto ISO 6400 please - it doesn't hurt anyone if it's an option

  • corrected OVF framelines in manual focus (MF) mode should be displayed immediately when you change the focus distance on lens (or pressing the AF-L button) and not only when you half press the shutter release button. In manual focus mode nothing happens to focus distance on half pressing the release (obviously) so the frameline correction should happen before. Current behavior forces you to slow down since you have to recompose on half press, when you see the correction which is a shame.

  • make auto DR selectable in manual exposure mode. Why not? It seems to work well in other modes and is much quicker then manual selection for every scene. Again if it's an option it doesn't hurt those who want to set it manually.

  • if possible, make OVF framelines more precise . Currently they are quite conservative on 35mm lens. If the reason for this is because it would make part of the corrected frameline dissappear off the OVF at certain focus distances - I think it's not a problem, because it would be quite clear to the user when two of the frame borders are missing.

  • if possible, make a Q menu option with focus distance presets. This would help zone-focusing in MF mode.

The camera is great so it would be a shame to miss these.
Thanks.
