Definitely right about the histogram. Get familiar with AE lock and use of
the on-board histogram and accurate exposures are almost unethically
easy. I doesn't matter which exposure method (CW, spot, ESP) is employed
in most cases.
(By contrast, I almost never use AEL with the E-1.)
Prefocus and touch the focusing menu button and it locks the focus in
manual mode on that point. So it's like a focus lock. Very helpful in
making the manual focusing mode more useful.
