It doesn't help that he was using idiot mode. If he were to use AV(1) mode to stop down the lens it would probably help. (1)Paul, AV is Aperture priority, the higher the number the less light making it through the lens to the sensor.

I suspect that answers the question about full auto or landscape. AFAIK the flash won't fire on landscape (or at least on my 450D) but ICBA to go and check right now. Ooh, thinks. Going to London tomorrow, better charge my batteries. -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) 116 Giulietta 3.0l Sprint 1.7 GTV TS GT 3.2 V6 Triumph Sprint ST 1050: It's blue, see. www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk

Another thing is my hands aren't the steadiest on the planet. The picture of the climbers was taken with the long lens on full zoom, without a tripod or even a wall, hence fuzzy. If you think you could tell from the original, could I ftp one to you? Or I could put it on my server and you could wget it. Or summat. > More importantly, are you having fun? Yup.

I'd best read the book, and start using the thing properly. It seems living somewhere so sunny could be hampering my efforts a tad. -- Paul.

Only sometimes. When the sun is in front of me. I think. -- Paul.
