Many thanks, Joe! Taking photos at the strip with a borrowed Canon Powershot A640 is what fired my interest in photography. Within a year, I bought my first used DSLR, and within a year after that, I was the owner of my first new Pentax. I love the challenge of the timing. -- Walt On

No, both were shot in S setting. I switch between the two. The C setting will give you a shutter release even if the subject isn't in focus although it will attempt to lock in constantly. The S setting yields more will not fire situations, but when it does go, it usually lock right on.

Only problem with the S setting is the danger of holding focus too long prior to release. In that case it will give you a release based on the last actual focus. Just letting off the release and re-focusing with some frequency will, of course, negate that problem. Jack --- On Mon, 8/30/10, P

Yes, Doug I realize that. Thing is one tends to focus and then compose and release. That framing/composition delay is the 'potential' problem. Jack --- On Mon, 8/30/10, Doug Franklin jehosep...@mindspring.com wrote: From: Doug Franklin jehosep...@mindspring.com Subject: Re: PESOs - Summer

Absolutely. Using the PS, I deleted many more images than I kept. Now, with the K-x, my biggest challenge (at least in shooting drag races) seems to be after-the-fact cropping -- trying to maintain a 5:4 ratio at the original resolution to help preserve IQ after resizing. I assume that's
