I have it set to RAW+ and cancel after one shot. Whoever designed the way that button works rendered it absolutely useless. Rather than it being a toggle between the way you have it set, and some other function, if you press it, it will go to an occasionally useful setting (like RAW+) but you can't set it back, or if you press it again it sets the camera to some totally brain dead and useless default (like jpeg only). > > I programmed it long ago to toggle from RAW to RAW so it simply can't > damage anything. It's just too easy to hit by mistake. That's how I set mine. But, I just noticed that it seems to have an astrotracer mode, which could actually be very useful, considering what a pain in the ass it is to get to astrotracer mode, and how looking at a capture takes you all of the way out. > > > On Tue, Sep 25, 2012 at 12:05 PM, Larry Colen <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> On Sep 25, 2012, at 12:42 AM, Larry Colen wrote: >> >>> I was trying to process photos from the dance tonight, and the color >>> balance wasn't working the way it was supposed to.
