I guess there are known lens faults, maybe at the edges, and the camera corrects for them??? Yup, exactly. Dream wonders of modern technology! Learned that auto focus doesn't always work in really low light Yup. Nightmares of modern technology. and the camera just won't take a pic There is an override setting for that. Just like there is one for the auto ISO setting, making it manual. Consult your manual. Now - given your last day at work and your love of Charlie - have to share the latest email I got: A RETIREE'S LAST TRIP to GROCERY STORE Yesterday I was at my local Food Store buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pet, Jake, the Wonder Dog and was in the check-out line when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think I had an elephant? So because I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn't, because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms. I told her that it was essentially a Perfect Diet and that the way that it works is, to load your pants pockets with Purina Nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.) Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care, because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stopped to Pee on a Fire Hydrant and a car hit me. I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was Laughing so hard. Food Store won't let me shop there anymore. Better watch what you ask retired people. They have all the time in the World to think of crazy things to say. Forward this (especially) to all your retired friends...it will be their laugh for the day!
