Well, I've asked Panasonic, and couldn't get through to anyone who understood my question. So, I thought I'd consult the experts (you) .
Does anyone know why the DMC-G1 doesn't display the focus distance when you're manually focusing? This would be imminently helpful in using hyperfocal distance to zone focus.
If any of you have a Lumix DMC-LX2, you will have seen that it actually displays a distance scale, highlighting the range of distances currently in focus. This is super-helpful in zone focusing.
I know that the focus-by-wire lenses on the G1 are different from most other lenses, but does that mean that the camera really doesn't know what distance it's focused at? I suppose that's possible, but certainly not good for those of us who want to use the 20mm f1.7 for street shooting, for example.
I appreciate your insight(s).
Regards,
Reed
