The camera takes some use before its logic becomes apparent--so many interdependent modes, screen displays and such. Last night I finally had an "aha" moment about some of the stuff that initially didn't make sense. I've now got the buttons programmed how I want them, making only the changes that make sense to me, and using the camera's defaults otherwise. The dpreview "how to" article and Ctein's post last week in The Online Photographer were critical. Some of my doggie beach shots would have been a bit sharper if I'd known then what I figured out yesterday, but that's how you learn. This camera, more than any other I've had, is initially as much computer programming as photography. Once you've got it set up so it works how you'd expect, then the programming recedes into the background and you can concentrate on photography again. --Peter > now, THAT'S testing! > > ric > > > On Nov 25, 2012, at 4:14 PM, Peter Klein <pklein at threshinc.com> wrote: > > > OK, enough testing.
