Finding the five X1D screen-side buttons by touch

[Justin]

I have always found it difficult to accurately locate the five buttons to the right of the rear screen by touch, typically when using the EVF at the eye, as they are not raised. I most frequently use the middle button to quickly zoom in and check focus.

However, a simple and non-invasive solution has presented itself, in the shape of small self-adhesive silicone buttons, sold as bump stops for cupboard doors and drawers. I use three, one beside the top camera button, one at the bottom and one in the middle, which makes it easy and accurate to "find" any button quickly with my thumb. They stick well to the textured surface of the camera, but can be easily removed or replaced.

I have put a link here to a typical eBay listing for the buttons, which can be found in black. I recommend the small 8mm diameter model.
