Gary,
So we all do - except on a few occasions like
- in darkness
- with fast moving objects for which you want to preset a distance
- remotely controlled or time delayed camera use, also asking for a
preset distance
Did I hear somone talking about bat photography? He'll know what I
mean, meeting all three conditions mentioned above at the same time...
Frank.
