Viewfinder: the Pana leaflet states 113,000 Px. The 100 and 300/350 series from which the 40/41 is derived are equipped with a 183,000 Px viewfinder. Is the leaflet in error?
There is a picture in the leaflet (page 03) which suggests that iris/focus might be operated by the big ring surrounding the lens. The explicit explanation of the rings and buttons for manual operation (page 09) shows only a very little ring protruding out of the left side of the cam for iris/focus adjustment. There is no mention of a function of the bigger lens ring. So, has the lens ring a function to operate or not?
I hope I placed my questions the right place and answers based on the technical data in the manual are almost welcome. BTW, anyone found the manual of the 40/41 for download in the net?
