Well, that is interesting. The E-300 does default back to the aperture
setting when in manual mode. As far as I know there isn't a way to change
that. I just always am flipping back to the little +/- button, and then
adjusting shutter speed, like you. Been doing it so long I don't even think
about it. BUT, now you have me wondering and I'm gonna see if the 330 does
the same...I think it does what you want your 300 to do, I will check.
Ok, yes, the 330 defaults to the shutter setting. In fact, to change
aperture in manual mode, you have to hold the +/- button down, or it
immediately defaults to the shutter speed, and that's what you'll be
changing by mistake. Interesting. :-)
