just don't use an IS lens as all the pics will be blurry if IS is turned on.

Because of the gravity being 6 time less on the moon the RAW files where
6 time bigger due to the electromagnetic interference of Earth gravity.

I heard that when photographing Earth from the Moon you get 240,000 miles of front focus - is this correct?
