I take a picture. That picture is now locked on both the viewfinder and the LCD. Locked like a Ferrari is fast. At the bottom of both finders are three choices: Next, Retry, Exit. The Next selection (OK button) gives me a double exposure. Both Retry (Left Arrow) and Exit (Back) unlock the image. I'm back to normal viewing. Everything is peachy. But I can't push the Back every time a take a picture. I've been through the menus over and over and I can't find the cause of this behavior. The reset button is looming in the distance. But I don't want to go there. It's an awful place. Can anyone help? Please? You'll have my undying gratitude, whatever that's worth.

There is an answer, which I discovered just by fooling around with the "view mode" switch. (Note that I didn't want to use the "eye sensor" mode because I didn't want the LCD screen lighting up every time I took the camera from my eye.) But there is a setting in there that will allow shooting through the OVF or EVF, but will make images available for review on the LCD when "play" is pushed. Way to go, Fuji!

I agree with much of your response. My point was that he was too busy worrying about not getting to shot to whine about having to push a button twice. Sadly, I think that I'm fairly representative of the digital generation.

I shoot through the viewfinder but when I push the play button, I want the image to come up on the LCD. Similarly, when I push menu, I want it to be displayed on the LCD, not in the viewfinder. I know that I can switch display modes and then push play, but I want to do it in one touch. Isn't there some setting that will let me have it all? I think Robert Capa had a similar problem when he landed at Normandy. I'm sure this issue has been addressed, but my search was fruitless. Many thanks.
