[Leica] LX3 Question

[h_arche at yahoo.com (H. Ball Arche)]

On the side of the lens, at about 3 o'clock as you look at it from the 
front, there is a 3 position switch for MF, macro AF, and AF.

One of my beefs with the LX3 is that as you work the zoom, there is no 
indicator in the scale to show relative FL - you have to play with it and 
get the screen to match what you see in the VF, and then you'd have to maybe 
make a mark the screen somehow (along the zoom slider) to be able to go back 
to that FL when you want. This is something that I've seen others describe 
as a desirable firmware fix - a way to revert to a custom preset FL.

Subject: [Leica] LX3 Question

Hi All:
When I was at the NY LUG meeting Rei showed me his DLux 4. When I used it at
the camera shop I found the focus much too slow. Rei, however, showed me a
switch on the digicam which  has to be taken off a "macro" setting and the
focus time improves radically. Using an accessory v/f the digicam becomes
usable for street photography. My question: Is there a similar switch on the
LX3 Lumix? It doesn't apppear on the pictures shown on DP review, Also, can
either digicam be locked at a "custom" adjustment at "50" mm, so that one
could use a 50mm finder as standard?? Please let me know and have a
wonderful 4th of July.Bests: Vroger
