Nevermind Mich , just think of all those specialist photographic competitions you'll be able to enter when you master it.

Funny, I always used to recommend auto when selling them

To be honest, auto is very good at what it does. You only need to faff around with the settings if you're going for a special look, which is not that often.

Now all you need to do is buy lenses. Fancy a 10-20mm one? I think we sold one last year for about a grand?

Right, expert. I have a Sony Cybershot DSC W30, 6.0 megapixels and most of my pics come out blurred, even though I am holding the camera steady! Soo annoying! What setting should it be on. :D Not action shots, by the way, just people standing still shots....I'm useless...:rotfl:

You'd have to shove it in my face to get a real answer (oo-er)

But I'd usually first check to see if macro has been left on (little flower!), or autofocus is switched off (if you have the option!). Other than that, you'd have to post it to me to find out more. I don't hold any responsibility for it being lost in [STRIKE]my pocket[/STRIKE] the post of course :rotfl:

Any ideas?
