> Dear Rick Sorry, I didn�t mean to sound patronising, but also did not want to let the point slip. Most digital camera do not seem to be perfect as yet, but a bit of gentle complaining can only have a positive effect on persuading manufacturers to deal with glitches. I am interested to hear you still find it quicker than manual focus. As you say, it works for you. I tend to find myself regularly frustrated waiting for mine to catch up and end up turning it off. I'll try tapping. I must take this opportunity to apologise for the accuracy of my previous reply. As they say �reports of Cartier-Bresson's death were somewhat exaggerated�� and very pleased I am too. May he add to the wealth of mankind for may years to come.
