One more last thing...
If you think I put the camera in video mode and let it go for a while, and
then went back and captured an image from the file, I can (and will)
provide
you with the original 5Meg image. Besides, the Fuji E510 I used has a
really crappy video mode.
I shot 10 images during that session; 3 were usable; the one on my blog
was the best.
Finished (I think),
