M6: Confusing startup with 15-45 lens
2

Just got my new M6 out of the box, attached the 15-45 lens, inserted card and battery. After setting the date and time, I was greeted with:

Took me a while to figure out what this meant; never seen this before (previously using the M3 + 18-55 and other lenses).  At first I thought this may be referring to the rotary switch (ISO/MF/...), then I thought it may be one of the other switches on the camera body. Took me a while to figure it out.

Couldn't they have said "hold the switch on the lens..." !?
