That is a bummer Larry but one I know so well - only way you learn, really. I once said to someone who grabbed my cam to just set all dials that have a green setting to green. Unfortunately I hadn't remembered WB (correctable though) and there was serious exposure compensation dialed in for flash use because "K10D" and "just a hint of fill" are more than just ballparks apart... not a single shot was correctly exposed so I was happy to be shooting DNG. Some came out, most were junk... won't happen to me again so a small price paid for a problem lost. Cheers Ecke
