I do have two somewhat stupid questions: 1) It seems that the shutter release needs to be pushed harder and further than I remember with the film Ms. I still have several of Tom's soft releases. Is there any reason why I should not put one on the M8? Or does he have a special digital edition ;-) 2) More importantly, a question about the instant review. On my E3, it pops up for 3 seconds and shows me the picture and the histogram. On the M8, whatever I do (and yes, I have looked in the manual) it just shows me the picture. In PLAY mode, it does display what I want, but the review if picture only. Am I missing something, or is the M8 just designed that way? (I hope not, since the most useful function of instant review is the histogram). Today, I will test the camera the Ted Grant way: I will just go and take some pictures.
