Right. Most of us on this list could work around the problem. But I just gave my old ZX-50 to my wife, who is not going to understand when I tell her to adjust the ISO or the EV or use the exposure compensation button (then remember to reset it afterwards). She just wants to point and shoot, and occasionally needs slides. I know of others I work with who are in the same situation. They need to shoot slides but don't want (or need) to learn as much about photography as we know. I'd like to recommend Pentax to them but am reluctant to, only because of this problem.
