No stinkin' Mac compatibility at all! We just got rid of our Macbook owing
to severely counterintutive operation frustrating us every time we PC
trained folks wanted to do something with it.
Macs are cool evidently, you just have to be a substance abuser to work out
how to do anything with them! ;-) ;-)
The firmware does incorporate a special flashing light in the finder when
ever a picture opportunity presents.
You can select
Auto senorita, -it filters our senors automatically (also known as Lluis
mode)
AA mode - the camera stays in one spot for 12 hours waiting for the light
HCB mode - the camera has a saucy beret and makes terribly exposed files
that are far better than you could ever dream.
TG -mode -jeesh look at that! Click!
DH -mode - the lens grows to 560mm but you have to wrestle bears and be one
with the wilderness before the shutter button releases




Cheers

Pick up your camera and make the best photo you can.

Will it synch up with iTunes and my podcast feeds now?

Partly to give some more grey hairs to certain LUG members, I have
immediately downloaded the update and installed it, 3 days out from my trip
to US.
There was no smoke or explosive decompression of the M8.
It has lens detection and correction for the brand new lens designs,
adjustment to the Auto ISO settings and some bug fixes.
Don't forget to re-do all of your preferences once you install it ;-)
 


Cheers
Geoff
