Olympus XA3 Focus lever stuck

I took my little XA3 out for some fresh air and exercise this morning. What a fun little camera it is.

Now I really, really, really want an XA. These little cameras are worse than baked beans. I am feeling a little GASsy right now.

I thought the xa3 is zone focus.
The lever is for setting speed at least thats what i thought.

If it helps to quench your gas any... I personally prefer the scale focus XAs to the RF XA. The RF lever is very tricky to get your finger to and focus quickly. The RF patch is also not the most glorious of which to focus with. Obviously one could just scale focus it and have aperture priority but the lever gets moved by accident too easily—its not dampened or stiff enough for that sorta use. Of course the AE exposure and picture quality is as good as any XA so it's definitely a YMMV thing.
 
Hi,

While we're on the subject; does anyone know what the A12 flash is like? I read about them a couple of days ago and it said the A16 had replaced it but...

Regards, David
