170 - Manual/Servo button location

[tumbleweed]

Just got back from shooting for a week with my new HPX170. Been shooting with the DVX and HVX for years. Love the cameras. I really wish they hadn't moved the servo/manual button to the side. I preferred it directly under the lens so much better. I'm sure I'll get used to it.

Drove me batty when I first moved to a 170, but ... yes, you definitely get used to it.

I though it was nice...on the dvx/hvx I always found my self not being able to find it by just feeling around. On the side you can read where it is. (I mostly use it on pod)

For handheld shooting the button on the side is not ideal. It was better closer to the lens.
