Having read it at least my initial reponse to Nigel was correct - shutter/exposure are set automatically.

Quite correct, Ian
I was not in disagreement with your findings, just looking to see if I could help Nigel find a work around.

Cheers

Kevin

Kevin - no problem

I didn't find the manual and thought that my quick read of a review was wrong - after all reviewers don't always get it right :sad:

And the ability to set exposure/shutter was one of the reasons I bought a digital SLR this year - my previous digital zoom was sadly lacking for the vital action photos.

And finally..................Just received by e-mail from the Red Arrows of the group photograph taken prior to our departure.

Not telling which one is me 'cause I look bl**dy awful in the shot!!

Just ask Dave B, Delph or Ben, they might remember!!

I'll go for the front row - first grown-up from the right. I'm basing it on the presumption that it's you in your avatar! So there are three guys with er... receding hairlines. The one with the tie must be the boss and I'm guessing you're older than the one sitting down

When you're practising your panning technique on cars, I think the important thing to do if a gorilla chases you is to take a picture as evidence at the trial

Looks like a good day out, btw - lucky you.

I'd go for that as well - particularly as I've met Nigel recently

Have to say Ian you are very discreet regarding the hair,or rather the lack of it

and yes that is my Boss, a bl**dy good one at that and I am older than him, now 55 years old and finding that the time has literally flown by!!

Presently practising evasive maneovres whilst taking photos at the same time

Ian, didn't mention you by name as thought the other guys by now would have forgotton what I looked like!
