Thanks Sonny,
I was using daylight setting for color balance, but for first 90 minutes I was
using auto exposure. I don't know for sure whether auto-iso is on, but I
suspect it is. Does it only kick in with coded lenses?
What's your opinion of those shutter button add-ons and whether they help give
a better feel for shot timing or tripping the shutter precisely?
Thx
Richard
