Hey! I’ve just found the custom functions on my G1. Don’t laugh – I did not get a manual and would you have found them on your own?
Anyway, there are now two AE locks on my camera. The conventional On / Off / AE switch worked just fine so why is there a shutter button operated one too? Surely this would have been better put to operating a focus lock? When you think of how simple it must be to reprogram a chip to lock the focus instead of the shutter speed it makes you wonder what Contax were thinking of when they (justifiably) got slated for the G1’s autofocus. It did not need the G2, just a bit of reprogramming or am I being naive?
Anyway, check the images folder for my solution to the depth of field conundrum. Strange is n’t it how photographers will happily forgo D of F markings on their zoom lenses, but think it should be their God given right to have them on a rangefinder?
