well, it was sort of a flash mob that would have knocked a tripod over - does that count? -- nm - Beryllium ... NEW ZOMBIE! Oct 30, 23:54 8
- how do you set the camera up? on P or manual? what is your 'film' speed or ISO? - zeitgeistwillkickthoseghostbusters@$$e$ Oct 31, 00:07 7
  - It was knocking the shutter back to 1/4-second ... way too slow to prevent blur when holding by hand. Ah well. -- nm - Beryllium ... NEW ZOMBIE! Oct 31, 00:09 6
    - rule of thumb for us old school shooters, don't handhold slower than your focal length - zeitgeist Oct 31, 00:21 5
      - I was photographing at night, surrounded by police and olympic security and TV cameras and bystanders ... not ideal conditions. And it was raining. -- nm - Beryllium ... NEW ZOMBIE! Oct 31, 00:28 4

        the built in flashes on those automatics don't extend very far -- nm - lkf Oct 31, 07:09
