Very helpful, thanks! Yes I have taken some rubbish photos, my words. In fact I take many, many rubbish photos.

Are we to assume from your mockery that you don't, or that you always remember to do everything you were going to, even with the many distractions of life?

Yes, anything on the rear LCD is a distraction for me. Dropping the LCD brightness helps somewhat, but of course then its no fun to show people the photos with dim light, so its not the best solution. 'Option 6' would be helpful in all the R cameras as an 'option'.

I'm not alone. The R5 has the solution already. R5 users asked for it, and some use it.

I guess some people enjoy mocking others anyway they can, get off on it? Enjoy the mean-spirited sense of togetherness from attacking the 'other'? What is the point I wonder? Does questioning the abilities of a camera cause you pain from cognitive dissonance? Go figure. I'm out.

You seem to still be ignoring the options many have give you, such as the one from R2D2 above.

You're right, sorry R2-D2, that was a good suggestion. I use the dof button for FEL. Less for the exposure control and more because it stops pre-flash blinking in subjects.

I did try setting it to the SET button but didn't get on with it.
