Have you ever used the touch screen to trigger the shutter ?. I assume you can as that is an option on my M3?

I've used mine a few times, when taking a few pics of the stars (astro) not celebs and again when using extention tubes for macro work, as I moved back and forth to focus I found it easier to tap the screen rather than try using the normal method which resuloted in the camera moving slightly as I pressed the shutter release.


I already have a wireless remote, as well as a wired one with all sorts
of timer options. New camera has bluetooth *and* wifi, both giving
remote shutter (and more). I can see that touch screen focus might be
particularly easy to trigger by accident (although it could be useful
for macro when using a tripod).
