Thanks for your thoughts on the ISO. I don't seem to be able to find a way to change the ISO [I]within[/I] Sports Mode. However, if I look in Aperture Priority I have it set to Auto 3200, which seems to change the ISO at the will of the camera. Looking at the above, it seems to have done that for this shot, as I certainly wouldn't have done 640 myself LOL.

Lovely Chaffy Delia...All this talk about settings is confusing me & most of its going over the top of my head.
 
A lovely face it is, Delia! Each image seems to get better with you. I can tell you one thing for sure about these bridge cameras with long lenses. When you are using the supper tele try using a monopod and see the difference.
 
Would have made for a lovely SF image! Lol. You should have put a Santa cap on her, she would have made a nice lady Santa, if ever there was one! Lol again! Wonderful behavior close up shot, Delia!! tfs.

No, I haven't run out of lifers, a few more to come. Won't disappoint you; posting one tomorrow.
