True enough unless of course you've inadvertently bumped either thumb wheel 
sending the camera into hyper mode, but hell a touch of the green button will 
sort that. If I'm just selecting ISO I don't understand why we should be forced 
to reset the program mode, I've never had to do this with any other camera I've 
ever owned.

So yes there is a way around everything just like waking up the rear screen 
which will show ISO and meter mode, but it could have been done better. The MZ-
D did have a dedicated LCD on the rear showing ISO, whether it was illuminated 
though I guess we'll never know.
