Hi Chris,

When you reach my age, automatic transmissions can be helpful in some cases, and cause problems in others.  Most of my driving is within the city limits, seldom above 45mph.  Much of it on streets marked 30mph.  When I had problems with sensor fouling on my 2007 Volvo V70, I talked with an old-time Volvo specialist, who is no longer with us.  I learned about fouling from low rpm cruise speeds.  My friend showed me how to take advantage of the manual shifting side of the transmission selector.  If I'm feeling sharp, I cruise around town in 3rd gear rather than 4th as selected by the automatic shift.  This raises the rpm to just above 2000, and the sensors stay clean.  If I'm not at the top of my game, I leave it in automatic.

      I feel the same way about automatic transmissions.

As I explore the use of manual focus with the E-M1, I learn to
appreciate the instant response of the shutter as compared to the
response using AF.  This can be important when working with insects.  I
set ISO to Auto, which eliminates one worry.  On a cloudy morning, all I
can find active are the bees.  This Carpenter Bee really got involved
with his job.
