Yup. Historical "point camera at flying gull in a bright sky" lock rate has been about one in five. Today's 20 gulls all locked. Most of the vulture and hawk attempts locked, too. Focus confirmation with the 1.03 firmware is also much, much faster. No idea what, if anything, it did to anti-shake, but the auto-focus improvement is substantial. -- Graydon -- 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.
