Gene, I hear you. But, the Micro camera will automatically set Iris and SA (depending on the auto mode selected) without pressing buttons, like you did on the Pocket camera.
The Micro does not have an Iris or Focus button for "push" to activate one-shot auto functions. Once you set the camera to Auto Iris, for example, the camera sets Iris on MFT native (Auto) lenses. You can also set it to automatically set SA then Iris or the other way round, or just set the SA, leaving the Iris on its preset f/stop. This is a different and nice feature when using lenses that support auto Iris. But as you pointed out, WB ISO, Frame rate, and focus will need to be preset first.
So Nathan could set the camera up in an underwater situaltion (in a water right case of course) with auto Iris set in the menu, and the camera will change the Iris setting based on the light hitting the sensor. If set to Iris/SA mode, the Iris will be set first, and if it is too dark or too much light for the lens f/stop range, the camera will also change the SA to give exposure additional control.
Cheers.
