I actually thought everyone who was doing digital chimped (once I figured out what you meant by it) and that I was the exception when I sometimes took a number of photos with the viewing screen closed and didn't look at them til later... it made me feel more like I was shooting a um "real" camera. and it is distracting, too. But I certainly have chimped and in some situations, done it a lot because I'm still insecure with certain elements of the camera - I forget what the icons mean, etc. sigh.
But when I chimp I click over to review mode - I don't use the 3 second thingy - which I cant see anyway unless i'm framing the photo with the screen. ann frank theriault wrote: > On Tue, 28 Dec 2004 19:22:12 -0500, cbwaters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Well I for one will admit to chimping.
