FlyingPhotog wrote in post #10207713 Probably becuase it's used by like 1% of the photographic population... I've tried discussing / suggesting it to many working professionals and they have no clue what I'm talking about.

My only worry now is my 11 y.o. daughter has used my camera in the past and did a good job. I will need to teach her how to use the back button to focus rather than switch to the green box for her. (She's better than that. Graham
