No it's OK with me Jens. My wife occasionally wants to use my camera but
she isn't the slightest bit interested in knowing anything about how a
camera works. It's not that she couldn't understand it - she's a very
intelligent woman and holds a senior post in systems design. She just isn't
interested in men's toys as she calls them. When she wants to make a
photograph she wants to be able to frame the picture and press the button -
so I've showed her how to set it to auto-everything and she is perfectly
happy with that.
