You can let go of it at the last moment, but it's still a good idea to keep it pressed down until you're close to the locked position. If you don't do this properly though, they are right- it might not lock at all.

You'd have to print it page by page, I'm afraid, but that shouldn't be too bad!

You have to release it right before the lens is all the way in - that's the optimal way to do it. If you release it too late, then you have to wiggle the lens a bit to get it to lock.

The k-5 is definitely a big hit. Thanks to everyone who read the review! It's just an amazing camera overall.

Not a bad idea for WB, but since the ISO is always there shining in your face in the viewfinder, I wouldn't want the camera to be resetting it for me randomly.

I've been stuck with shitty WB outdoors, though- poof, all your photos are toast :(

I think the downtime might have screwed up the read markers :(

Thanks for the comments, Falk! Going into the review, I had tested AF.C indoors by just moving the camera around, and was disappointed to see that it didn't react nearly as fast as I wanted it to. However, outside, even with the poor lens it was tested with, it didn't seem to hunt. As we mentioned in the review, it was tested at spot and 11-point (5 point was pretty much useless), by both of us, and it was never off by enough to the point where you start tapping your foot. If it made a mistake initially, it quickly would recover and you'd still be able to take your shot as intended, when intended.

How we haven't tried moving back and forth between subjects, as you're hinting at, but that would be a great idea for a user test, I'd say!

Thanks for all the comments so far. :) I'd just like to give a special mention to Ole, who worked together with me on the review and also put in dozens of hours for lots of the sub-sections. Overall, the project took over a week of daily work, with almost two days of straight work at the end (with a little bit of fun in between)!
