I can't see how anyone would have any problem with the MZ-s controls after a
few minutes of thought and use. It's no different than using a shutter
speed dial on the ZX-5n, ZX-m, or any other camera with shutter speeds
selected by a dial. Maybe it would be easier if you think of turning the
wheel clock-wise or counter-clock-wise (instead of left and right) and
associating those motions with over and under exposure.
