引用 DPReview 的文字:
"One of the things Ricoh representatives told us about the K-S1 was that they wanted to make the camera more accessible to people who are intimidated by regular DSLRs. Something they cited was the new mode dial, which is essentially the same thing that's usually found on the top of a DSLR, but on the back plate and back-lit."
大意就是 Ricoh 告知 DPReview 他們就是想讓那些對一般 DSLR 感到有壓迫感的使用者而設計 K-S1 的,而這個位於背部且會發光的模式轉盤就是其中之一(一般 DSLR 都位於機頂)。
多數入門使用者即使有光學觀景窗卻還是習慣用 live view 從 LCD 取景構圖,所以把所有資訊做在機背上也是個合理的作法。
