1st feature: automatic shutter release when the eyes are in focus even when a manual focus lens is attached.
This is particularly useful for insect and animal photography.
Scenario: I use a manual MF macro lens for insect photography. The AF mode in AF macro lenses are rarely useful when photographing moving insects. It is extremely difficult to photograph them as any slightest movement (even 1mm) renders the photo out of focus. This can happen due to my own movement or, the insect's movement or, a slight breeze that moves the plant or flower over which the insect is standing. I can see these movements in the back screen or viewfinder but most of the time cannot be fast enough to grab the shot as soon as the insect's eyes are in focus. The camera however, sees this as I notice in the viewfinder even when the attached lens is MF. So it should not be hard to add a new feature in the menu system that enables the camera to automatically take a shot, once the eyes are in focus.
This feature has similarity to per-capture mode in recent Sony models but it's not the same.
2nd feature:The sensor assembly is already sitting on an IBIS system that can move it. Make the system in a way that can move the sensor 1-2mm back and forth to have the AF even with a MF lens. For many situations such as macro photography, this movement back and forth is enough to have the image in focus.
