@Alpha - The viewfinder gives you a screen jike the lcd - to be honest, I just used the auto focus on these - had I decided to use the manual it would have given better results, as apparently mine autofocuses at 2m if the pic is too dark - which it was. This was taken at 3 sec exposure with a quick flash halfway through. I'll re-do it on manual soon, but doubt the background will be as good coz it was a touch misty at the time I took this one! Thanks Punky, at least I know I'm not the only one! :) (",)
