I grew up as a "kinda-sorta" country boy and got my first rifle at age 8. I was taught to "feel the trigger". Most have a spot where the tension just barely increases before shooting. I have found the same thing with some cameras. You can "take up the slack" and squeeze the shot off very smoothly at the "decisive moment". ( uh oh, I hope this does not start that thread again ). I suspect you will find the same thing helpful with the new cameras. Gently press to take up the slack at that second notch for a jerk free shot. ============================================================ It might > loosen up with some more > rolls going through it.

It is a soft, rubbery adhesive sold in tubes. I have found it to be great for securing threaded parts that have a tendency to loosen and "disappear". It does not set "hard" or become brittle and release. A small dab on a thread or flange usually does the trick. You should be able to find it at a shop that has model railroading supplies. ============================================================ ===== "Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it." -Robert Frost __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
