I think I have mentioned it before, but I have a vague recollection of reading about the responsiveness of the rings being dependent on which focus mode is selected. I've only activated the central sensor (1-point AF). Do you have multiple AF points activated?

I use both focus modes and switch regularly between them - hadn't noticed any difference in that first click thing between them. Bizarrely, I have the camera with me here in the office and I've just checked... no difference in that redundant first click when turning the inner lens ring to step zoom. But I took the opportunity to set step zoom to the rear dial and, to my delight, no redundant first 'click' there. So I'll keep that setting, I think.

Now all I want is the option to switch the direction the ring needs to be turned to zoom in - intuitively, I always turn it the wrong way......

Thanks, Mark.
