    Hey Guys,

    Anyone else experiencing this issue?

    When I press the S1 or S2 button it brings up the s button settings window sometimes instead of just performing the requested function (eg muting).

    Cant seem to work out why.

    On my AR model it's a function of how long you press the button. A quick tap and release launches the preselected function (sleep, hibernate, etc). Pressing it in and holding it down for 3-4 seconds brings up the screen where you get to select just what that function is. I like that.

    Cool, works on the FZ series machines as well! I had no idea about the 3-4 second thing. Nice tip!
