Oops. I don't usually use the multi shot mode, but I think that I did set it yesterday photographing birds at Candlestick point.

Interesting. I *thought* I did. But, see above, if I wasn't in single shot mode, the camera may not have been working like I expected, if I didn't take my finger off all the way, but I thought there were times it didn't work without my taking my finger off. I have had a lot of cases where, in bad light, my FA50 was a lot softer than I thought it should have been, though it seems a lot of that may just be using the viewer on the camera. -- The first step is learning to take great photos, the second step is learning to throw away ones that are merely good.
