I think it is because of the on-off switch on the grip. Or
is it the Av or Tv wheel? In any case, if one of those three

between stops, then it locks the camera. Fiddle with the

on the lens.
As for dvd burners, if you can show me somewhere to buy one f
I like the wedding pics.
Especially the less "formal" ones, where they let down their guard a bit.
I'm sure they'll be pleased as punch with all of them, even with the blown
out over-exposed patch of grass in the background of some of them (but hell,
what can you do?).
The B&W's work much bet

I was going to say, "You college professors are so smart". Then I discovered you
had misspelled both words (according to my dictionary). Now I don't feel so
dumb. BTW, was that bucolic sojourn a poetic rustic stay, or a brief
