The flashing is because you had Highlights selected instead of normal. The rocker gives you Normal, Histogram, Highlights and Shooting Data so I guess you triggered this accidentally. bones -----Original Message----- From: jhb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jhb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of franklyn fisher Sent: 14 July 2007 22:33 To: jhb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jhb] Re: Another OT Gerry Read the same article. My experiance so far, is that using the manual modes also produce an unaceptable wait. Unless I was doing something wrong. Did notice afterwards, the LCD review, the brightest areas of the photos, were flashing, but a while later, after taking a number of photos, it was back to normal. I thought that the camera was faulty. The manual, like all manuals is totally useless. Frank
