Yes, very close indeed!
It's the clever thumbwheel on the back of my Kodak Z1012, shot with my nearly identical Z712. With it I can adjust all the settings I normally use, without removing the camera from my eye. Peering in the electronic viewfinder, I rotate it to get to the setting I want to adjust, press it to highlight it, and rotate it to adjust to the right value. Works for aperture (usually I'm in aperture priority), EV offset, flash intensity, ISO. I twiddle the EV up & down, half-pressing for the live preview until it looks right, with the aid of a live histogram if necessary. To a large degree it's "say goodbye to guesswork". The great majority of my 2800 posts here were done with the aid of this little twiddler. |

Nice job, Alan. My Nikon D100 has two of those, one on the front and one where yours is located, both multi-function.

Nice idea. It really amazes me how many wheels (not tires) are out there that are used every day but totally over looked!!

http://forums.steves-digicams.com/biweekly-shoot-out/156067-wheel-not-tyres-off-road-transport.html I'm getting a bit frustrated about my orphan, published 5 days ago. What's wrong with it? Apologies if this breaches protocol, but it's happened to me before, probably due to global time zone problems. Last edited by Alan T; Jun 12, 2009 at 3:36 PM. |
