That would have made more sense to me, but on the other hand, I often leave the mirror up way too often, and for a second I think my camera is broken, or the battery is dead, until I realize what I've done. Anybody else have that happen? Hit the shutter release, mirror goes up, camera goes dead, and you are ready to cuss a blue streak and remember the lever is set the "wrong" way? ========= Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO God is REAL, unless explicitly declared INTEGER
