The OK button

This little guy has been a bit of a frustration to me. I was not always successful nailing that tinnie tiny little thing. :bang:

Until this morning when I had one of those stupid 'ahha' moments of discovery. Basically, instead of taking care to press only that little OK button I just put my whole thumb over the whole thing (Command Dial) and pressed down, "voila!" OK!

Man, I just tried that... it works a lot better. Thanks for the tip.

Sometimes you can just hit the shutter release instead of the OK button....
So far, it's been working for me but I keep out of the menue once the camera is set up...

I'll keep trying this - limited success so far, I often get one of the other functions instead.

Yup I've done that. It means you didn't press straight down but tilted the Command Button a bit.

I was having about 60% success rate using my thumb to press OK button. I tried using my index finger -- although not the finger one might naturally use, given how the camera is held, this improved success rate to 100%.

Also works great by using the nail on you finger.
