Talk about 'flying off at tangents'!Nobody suggested that cameras did have
any intelligence of their own, so why are you implying that they did? Your
'method' is old-school and tedious and time-consuming, but modern cameras
allow us to be more productive in less time. Using continuous drive mode
in
conjunction with bracketing is a grea idea, and nothing to do with the
camera being intelligent, only the photographer, it seems 'you' have to be
reminded of this yourself as you are the only one talking about it....'or
did you reply to the wrong thread again? :)
