New M6-II owner - please help
1

I have the M6 for 3 months now and meanwhile all native ef-m lenses except the 18-150.

2 days ago I purchased a new M6-II and I`m still trying to get all the settings to my taste.

I bought the M6-II mainly for better AF, ES (on sunny days 1/4000 sec on the M6 is not enough with the 32mm at 1.4) and some other upgrades but I also found some disadvantages compared to my M6 :

when I take an image and want to check if the focus is spot on I need only one click on the rear wheel to get full magnification on M6. On the M6-II the magnification is increasing only step by step. Is there any way to change this?

And is there any way to have a quick change between ES and MS? I often use flash and normally ES for stills if possible (I rarely do video).

I also found the exposure comp. control much better on the M6 compared to the dual function wheel on the M6-II.

Many thanks
