Why don't you just set it to "Auto"? Sheesh! ;-) Thanks, Scott. I'm afraid that I'd find something that wonky to be more trouble than it's worth. I mean, I'm all for unpredictability and serendipity, but I'd hate to miss a good shot because the camera "just didn't feel like it". Or to put it another way, I'd hate to miss more good shots than I do already. Ten throwaways for one "art shot" won't cut it. Besides, I can blur and mis-expose all on my own, thank you very much! ;-) Thanks to all who looked and commented. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
