howdy,

where can i buy some idiot proofing spray or and idiot proof housing for the camera ?

todays lesson in stupidity was compliments of noisy ISO 800 - out taking pics in middle of a bright sunny day....my brain kinda ticked over when the meter reading needed a higher than expected shutter speed but it didn't tick over far enough. fortunately the pics were ok and not great!

the D200 needs A, S, P and I (Idiot) modes.

Best you could do is a mental checklist. Check ISO, Check ISO, Check ISO.....

I have done this soo many time I have lost count. This is one of the (many) reasons I bought the D2x. It shows the ISO on the back LCD and within the viewfinder.

Deano, is that how you convinced the other half to get a D2X?

The other solution is to do a two fingered salute to the camera each time you take it out... hold down the buttons with green dots next to them for a few seconds and all the shooting settings go back to defaults.

Cheers,

I thought there was an idiotISO function on the D70 - isn't it called AUTOISO ?? :lol:

Spot on Dave, Custom Setting 5 (ISO auto) should be set to On.
