  1. I hear ya. Someone who works there just messed up when adding a link to something and made an old story temporarily a current story, then caught their error and killed the link.
  2. Exactly the words I was thinking when some proposed 'jacking up' someone who was following them. That would make you the aggressor. Besides, you never know what the other person has, as Martin found out the hard way.

  6. If you place the camera in manual-focus mode (switch is on lens), it will fire virtually instantly when you depress the shutter button. Zoom in to the area where the action will be taking place and focus and then you should be good to go for that general area (distance-wise). Using auto focus in low light and/or during action is going to slow down when the camera reacts and actually triggers the shutter. Format the card in-camera before use the first time so that it is 'formatted' correctly for use with that camera. Not absolutely required, but I salvage a lot of images for people who don't do that and their card either corrupts or locks up and then they lose their images. After removing card from camera and downloading images to computer for storage.editing, reformat card upon inserting in camera again if you intend to clear the card out and make room for new photos. Use the "format card" option in the menu, not "erase card/images", that will eventually lead to problems with corrupt/lost images. 1400 plus pics on an 8GB card sounds like you have the resolution set to around "medium". As a professional, I shoot just about everything in RAW mode. You may want to set the camera to LARGE/FINE JPG or to MED/FINE JPG to get usable images for reprints 8x10 and larger. If you have the quality set too low, you'll just be shooting images that are good for the web, Facebook and maybe 4x6 prints. Do not put the camera control dial on the green box, that will eliminate almost all manual control and slow the camera down. Go with P(rogram) at first, but then eventually learn how to use manual to control the shutter speed and aperture to get the desired results that you are looking for. One rule regarding lenses and blurry images, your shutter speed needs to be set to roughly the same number as the focal length of the lens you are using to avoid blurry images do to a too slow shutter speed and camera shake while the shutter is open. If you are using a 100mm lens, then the shutter speed need to be at least 1/100 of a second. Image stabilization somewhat negates this, but not much. This rule is very important if not using flash. There are volumes more of information, but this is the quick and dirty to get you started.
  7. No. It's just bizarre that they actually have something like this though.
