It is not under your control, except that you can turn off the flash _permanently_ by flipping a switch, not pushing little rubbery knobs to get down to the third level of some menue, and then have to redo the whole thing every time you turn on the camera. That's what I like about the GR-1. The switch, and the lens. But I hate the little rubber button that turns on the camera. And it turns itself on in your trousers pocket. It must look like a very rapid erection to the uninformed spectator when the lens starts moving out. Is this how Ralph got started on his nudes? If so, please advise how to proceed. Anyway, I almost always have room for the M6 with a Summicron in my jacket pocket.
