The problem with the firmware is that if I put it into macro mode, use macro 
mode, and then return to normal mode, lots of things stop working right and 
I have to do a reset. Then I have to manually set a few things to restore 
the options I had. The firm answer from LUG members was KISS (Keep it 
simple, stupid), don?e use that mode, just crop the picture.

I decided to get that camera as a second camera in situations where I don?t 
want to bring a Leica. The decision was made after seeing a number of 
pictures taken with it on the LUG gallery and was impressed with the 
sharpness, and 35mm is my favorite focal length.

Question authority and the authorities will question you.
