Lekker Shots Briv...
Sprokket...I've read up about Mirror Lock but never tried it...Not sure I will work out how either.
I do use a remote shutter or the 2second timer.
A tripod for Sure....Mine goes everywhere my Girls ,one of the 4 always get the lucky prize to carry it for me.
When you say set to infinity , you mean the F STop ?
