If you've got the camera switched on and it's swinging from you neck/shoulder etc. as your walking around, what's the point of having the camera constantly compensating for this movement when there is no need to.
In operation it's not so bad. You just keep the shutter release half pressed and at the decisive moment fire away. Dave On 12/2/06, J. C.
