Default Missing "return to auto zoom" SB900

Although I'm very happy with my SB900, I discovered that you can change the
zoom from auto to manual, but you can't go back to auto!
None of the review sites, nor the manual addresses this missing feature. You
have to turn the flash of or the camera (so the flash goes to standby) to
return to auto zoom.
Surely this is an oversight. Perhaps it can be changed with a firmware
update? Or am I missing something?

In mine, when you select manual flash zoom, the third programmable button
gets
labeled as "zoom" and returns it to automatic.

Firmware 5.02 (from factory), tested in a D700


Dzeej! Thanks.
Now I finally see it. Not very logical, if you ask me, but at least it
works. Wouldn't have hurt to mention it in the manual.
Thanks again!
