- The autolock fix doesn't seem to work all that well, I'm considering removing
- it from mine. Basically, there's no guarantee that what you lock into is really
- the correct location. I've noticed on several channels that it tends to lock in
- a little bit off to the side, leaving a border at one side and cutting things
- off at the other. In these cases, even though you can manually readjust the
- lock, it will soon return to the incorrect position, all by itself. I think
- the totally manual control is more dependable, overall.
