What Bill is trying to tell you is that there is no way to accomplish what you want. If you want a MF distance scale on the rear LCD then put camera in MF, Lens in AF. The instant you put a "clutch" lens into MF the LCD focusing scale disappears and you have to use the one engraved into the lens barrel. This has been p*ssed and moaned about in every Fuji forum I have ever visited btw.

It doesn't matter if he leaves the clutch forward so the lens is set to AF. The moment he sets the front switch to M, there is no electronic distance indicator anywhere.

Why because Fuji has their quirks..this is one of them (and I agree that it is very annoying).
