Can't see as I'd find making one CF setting, once, annoying. Personally, I think it's a neat feature and useful for when you're working out the correct focus zone. You can make a choice, capture a preview image and zoom it to max magnification to check the focus zone, change the setting, etc . No one I know uses DOF preview in dynamic situations, this lets you see the image properly exposed in review so you can determine whether you have your settings correct. Once you know that, you just shoot. Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
