Just recently I've started using the 2 second timer with hand held shooting. With two pushes of a button on the camera's back, the 2 second timer is primed, and is then triggered by lightly pressing and releasing the shutter button. In two seconds the camera will fire, held by completely relaxed hands. Lightly pressing the shutter button before the countdown is up will hold the timer and start if over again. Used this method with some bunnies on Friday and some bridesmaids on Saturday. Can't say whether there's a difference on film, but it looks and feels like there should be. Anyone else use this feature this way? Rick (bridesmaids always make me quiver) Dykstra
