The incredible amount of people thinking "is not possible unless the
manual say so". Look at the number of posts also on other social media
where people spend a huge amount of time deprecating and throlling
others just to prove they know the manuals by heart and the machine
menus better than others. Other people instead just get out and do. If=A0
a recording is not perfect we can always improve that back home with a
bit of eq and whatnot, without missing the once in the history moment
because is "not technically correct" or we are not using the "ideal
equipment" for it.
True is that people are different and enjoy themselves in different way...
