Thanks Will, I shall bear all that in mind. Mine is a Fuji Finepix S5600 bridge with a really decent lens that does 10x optical zoom without the lens actually moving in and out! I just set it up to raw, aperture priority and ISO100. I need to learn about colour (standard or chrome) and things like White Balance. I also want to look at manual focus or would I be better sticking to auto? I am sure I will find an online manual somewhere.

My first none working Monday should be next week so, weather permitting, I shall experiment with what you said.

Cheers

Dave
