**** DONE: Spitfire Mk. Vb Trop. BS231 “D” of No 452 Sqn defending Darwin .

Like Wayne said Bill, if you will back away from the subject a bit more the camera can read the image better because the ratio on the depth of field drops some what and you can then go into your photo program on your computer and crop it and touch it up. It is looking real sharp by the way. Keep up the good work.

What I have discovered is if I use the TV option, I can change the shutter speed, and increase the depth of field. Works a trick. I am finding this camera is sooo easy to use. 30 bucks well spent. Would recommend it to anyone wanting an easy to use, close up camera. It's the same one I think Wayne uses. When I get the gun sight mounted, I just painted it today, I will take another final shot of the cockpit. Gun sight, from about 3 feet back, no retouching or adjusting.....
