Laptop cooled off, restarted, got only minutes, but wanted to add what I forgot
in the previous post about dedicated DOF buttons: The E-330 has one that can be
set for that purpose, which I have done since none of the other functions it
can be set for are things that I'm ever likely to need. And if I should, I can
always reset it temporarily. DOF preview with either the E-1 or E-330 ain't a
problem, and it's particularly nice with the E-330 in the "B" mode. :-)
One fan just started going "grrrr, grrrr, grrrr." I may be back later. Or I
may not.
