--- In NikonCoolPix@yahoogroups.com, Thanks Forrest. I'll look and see if I have those opions on my 885. A tripod is out of the question from where I can stand and takepictures, but I can brace myself and the camera. My next investmentis gona be that 3x lense! :o)Do you use the zoom along with yours or not? .........BTW, you havesome great picture there.
