If I could read your post without getting eyestrain, I might be able to
help you. In the meantime, you'll find that your owners' manual covers
all this stuff.

Hmm Lionel - I wonder?

I wonder if camera shops should provide classes in digital photography?

Or have information to organisations, individuals or camera clubs that
provide a bit of theory and practice about digital photography?

I know the climbing equipment stores I visit usually have some details about
some local training initiatives. It is a creative solution which may
transfer or translate to digital photography too

Certainly there is no shortage of experienced people prepared to offer
guidance

Just wondering aloud really...

Hmm...that's pretty much the way I do it and it works every time. Of
course, if the subject moves then the focus will be different. Guess
that's Canon's fault too?

It's been my experience through the years that amateurs don't want to
learn. It's best to let them wallow in their stupidity.

Actually, many of the bigger camera shops in my city do exactly that. I
would've assumed that it'd be common in other cities as well.

Is fault finding more important than solution finding?

In my limited experience manufacturers produce the goods & marketing raises
the expectations

When the 2 are hand-in-hand everything is hunky-dory

If divergence or splits appear, well that seems to get everyone in a bit of
a spin.

F'r example P&S - these vary from cardboard boxes with plastic lenses to
mega-£s units

A consumer expects a mega£ unit to perform a wee bit better

There you go! I rabbit on agan tsk!

Speaking from the Left side of the continental US, some do, some don't,
but it's a factor in choosing who to buy from in my book.

I have just signed up for a reasonably intensive Photoshop class at a
local community college, on recommendation by working artists in the area.
