T NL thanks for thinking of me Tomas, believe it or not I have a couple of extensive D700 user's guides ~ the one that came with the camera and one I purchased from Thom Hogan. I know of Ken Rockwell who has his fans and his detractors. I'll save a copy of it and browse it at some time, so thanks alot. I find that a lot of practise followed by the odd digging up of more user guide stuff seems to suit my old brain best. I also went on a one day course, to learn how to push the buttons etc :))) It is a complicated beastie with so many brilliant facilities that you need a three year degree course to manage it properly and then there is NX2 where again I have two extremely good guides, plus there are various web bassed tips here and there too. Whew I'll be ninety five before I know all of the tricks :)))

Thanks a lot dear friend. ciao nick

John<^>B, Ciao John you were a rising star, but now a shooting star plunging, farwell dear friend.

Grey Eagle, ~~~ Hiya Ray sad really John is a very sensitive soul it seems and someone did not like the link he made for you under this shot to utube and complained to him and that on top of the pierre thing a few days back has made him think that pano is not for him!

We e-mailed together a bit earlier tonight but to no avail, a great pity he is a really nice guy. ciao nick
