harness and leaning towards gunsight. Repeated commands cycle between
the Gunsight and normal camera positions."
But why would we? Leaning towards the gunsight implies combat. Why else would we do it (not that we would)? You wouldn't loosen straps in combat you'd tighten them. Its just a daft gamey idea.
