  • Got it.

  • As said, in some languages due to the characters, 1600 doesn't fit inside the icon. Similarly exposure compensation, so we remind you that you've set it. But this is good feedback, thanks.

    ISO setting: we found the optimal number of touch controls along the side of the viewfinder in a screen of this size to be 5. This dictated the size of the touch targets. No doubt people will chime...

    Again based on trials we found once people had used it for a while it becomes very intuitive fast and easy. As I think you pointed to in your own conclusion. Our own user testing showed that after...

    Often with these methods you end up under/over shooting and/or moving the device during the operation. Furthermore, in the case of motorised controls, you’re often having to wait for the zoom to...
