Mark with all due respect mon ami..... that's having to think about it.... 
we are photographers and all those decimal points can scare the hell out of 
a guy.
Shoot picture look at scene and remember what you saw in the view finder and 
from then on you'll be close.
If a photographer wishes to be 100% perfect in what goes on the sensor then 
one should use an SLR. :-)
Now see how KISS easy taht was? :-)
