I use Av, put the camera focus to endless, zoom into 16x digital zoom and set the focus manually on the scope. Then I zoom out again and take the picture. For that I use the selftimer with initial delay 0, picture count set to 3 together with my electrical remote shutter on the USB connector (posted about it in another thread).To impove the LCD, especially in bright sun, I soldered a light shield which is made from a raw plate for printed circuit boards. Its painted in black and mounted to the camera with Velcro strips.A working auto focus setup (may be with macro) would be nice, because manual take much time - too long for some birds.Attached a pic of the A590 with shield and USB shutter</blockquote>
