Re: Green Monster Tesla coil on new webpage & getting spark pics



Original poster: Ed Phillips <evp@xxxxxxxxxxx>

"Hi Steve,

That's some impressive pics indeed that you captured with
your A60 digicam ;^) I found the "M" manual setting on the
rotary dial of my camera but haven't quite figured out how
to manually set the shutter and aperture settings that you
mentioned. My camera probably has the capability, but
"I" don't, not yet, anyhow. I have never gotten around to reading
all 100 pages of the owner's manual yet ;^/  I may go ahead
and pull it out next time I fire up "Green Monster" and see
what turns up. BTW, I do know that I can take short movie
clips with this camera too but I'm not sure that I will be
able to upload video to the webpage. I may give that a try though.

	"When all else fails read the book" (if you can understand it).  I have
a Canon C4040 which does a pretty good job, but I've never mastered all
of the controls even with the "aid" of the manual.  In particular. I've
never figured out how to disable autofocus and autoexposure and use
manual settings while trying do astrophotography.  "As-is" I've used it
to take pictures of a very small TC running and, with a bit of editing,
the images looked pretty authentic.
