I think it's fine wording. My point is that I'm surprised the camera is as 
sophisticated as it is, yet not smart enough to lock the VR element when you 
turn off the camera. They have room to put special effects and slide show 
playback (along with music) in the firmware, but not enough to say "lock the 
element when he turns off the power". :-)

Ehn. It doesn't really seem to do anything different from my Sony F707, 
until you start doing things with remote flashes, double-exposures, and etc.

Pretty much every building here says "this building has things in it that 
are bad for you."
