Well, I tried it over 3 pitches... but I was shooting with my finger poised on the shutter button and pressing it manually at the rate I thought was appropriate. I find that when I "machine-gun" the shots using the rapid-fire mode of the camera, I lose track of focus and also start moving the camera, which makes only 1-2 of 7 shots even be sharp. So, out of 10-12 shots, I got two which had the ball in the middle like this - and this was just the better of the two shots. -Charles -- Charles Robinson - charl...@visi.com Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
