That's just the way it works , and it's not awkward at all .

When looking through the viewfinder the AEL button is where it belongs , and is pressed by the thumb after half pressing the shutter button to set focus and metering .

While its pressed and held it's easy to move your head ( if the cameras on a tripod ) or the camera ( if handheld) to look at the screen , then press the display button .

.

It's very easy to do , and quick .

Does it also work that way if you switch the AEL Button from hold to toggle in the menu?

And in your scenario how do you adjust the back dial without lifting your finger from the AEL Button and losing the exposure read?
