Hi Kim,
The ECF selection in Green mode appears to work the same
as in other modes. Same calibration; same problems.
I find that ECF is more successful if, while looking at
the subject, I bring the Elan 7E to my e

Page 52, at the top. First it says "EC can be used in all picture-taking

Hi Kim,
Perhaps I missed the part about ECF not functioning in green mode.

I use #2 most of the time, sometimes #3, rarely #1.

I thoroughly agree that cross-sensors are more desirable. Maybe even

Hi Don,
The Area auto-AF on my Elan 7E is a bit
When in the full auto mode (or when all sensors are active in another mode) and
eye control turned off on the Elan 7, from what I gather from the manual, the
camera will choose the closest focus that is under an AF sensor.
Well, I find that mine doesn't always do this. It will pick the center se
