I have downloaded the manual and find it difficult to wade through. I would like the flower symbol to just toggle the macro feature on or off. Sigh. Instead, there is some random series of menu choices that are so un-intuitive to me, I fear I will never remember them. The tech did tell me that if I just leave it in 'auto' mode, most of my photos will self adjust. Not exactly what I wanted, but that may work for me. I miss my old film SLR (a Canon as well), it at least made sense to me. And I liked being the boss of the aperture. Good ol' days I guess. This particular camera also challenges me with focus - it often does not seem to figure out what I want in focus. I continue to refer to it as my 'point and hope' camera. And, frankly, I find I just don't take as many photos as I used to. Technology in general is kicking my butt. As my old boss often said, my gravestone should read 'she liked DOS.'
