One thing that I've found annoying about the NV3 is that you have to manually turn off the flash each time it's turned on, that is if it's on Auto mode. You have to actually check that the flash is disabled each time....unless you know different? It defaults to this each time. Is there a way of changing the default so the flash is permanently 'off' when Auto is selected?
Dont use the camera on Auto for digiscoping, the best setting i have found is to set it to the "P" dial then set up the various settings, main ones being spot metering and spot focus, use the flash symbol on the silver circle around the menu button to bring up the suppressed flash symbol, ie. a lightning symbol with a line through it, go through the various options until you see the correct symbol halfway down on the left hands side of the screen, all the settings will stay the same, all you then have to alter is the ISO speed, White Balance and Exposure as required when you power up the camera, its one of the most simplest cameras to use, when all else fails, move the dial to the Anti shake dial "A/S" this does choose its own ISO setting depending on the light available, but it does take reasonable pics
