J T-W, Looks like it's going well so far! I feel your pain though because there are so many settings that, without a real in depth knowledge of cameras and photography, it's difficult to know what does what! The problem I have with my camera is that I need to remove the battery to recharge and as the internal battery no longer seems to function, every time I need to recharge I lose my settings as the camera re-sets. Then I have to start fiddling all over again. I should really write the setting down. Rich
