This is why I built a wired remote, when the set-up is delicate the last thing you want is to have to touch the camera for fear of causing slight movements in framing or residual vibrations. The 2 sec mirror pre-fire I do find useful however the option for a round-robin style mirror lock would be much appreciated. First close of the shutter contacts pre-fires the mirror, the next fires the shutter and returns the mirror for the next cycle. All easily implemented in software the same as Sylweks suggestions. Maybe next time they'll get it a little more perfect <wink, wink> Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
