-Gresch, I found that alt menu in my handy dandy manual...I'm woikin' on it,
to see what effect it has. We are fogged/misted in up here. It may be a day
or so.
-MiCkEy: I shoot 95% of my stuff, (for the past dozen years), on AV or
Manual. Some initial pics are coming...
-Ravenheart: don't give up. I won't either, but am surprised it comes so soft
outta the box, or on the landscape (sharper) setting. Who in the hell spends
this kind of dough for romantic/softer edged stuff than my 6 yr old Canon S50
pocket cam gives.

Being somewhat facetious, though somewhat underwhelmed, thus far.
