Why would I want to select an autofocus point? @Mattia: I haven't tried this, but I'm surprised that the moon doesn't count as "infinity" for focusing. How much further away would you want to focus?? When I get a clear night I guess I'll try this with my lenses, but this is not what I would expect. Perhaps your lens is out of alignment? |

How common is it for cameras to have a gyroscope? Itai's comment implies that the Casio does use a sort of dead-reckoning to use sensors to estimate position. |

Can I use aperture ring of Pentax FA lens in aperture priority mode? It's a shame; I would love to have a real aperture ring! Oh well, thanks for the tip. |

Why are there limitations to the upper limit of exposure time in digital cameras? @Imre: I see; you were suggesting to use the high ISO only to shorten the test shot exposure time, not to use the exposure meter. |

Why are there limitations to the upper limit of exposure time in digital cameras? @Imre: Just read your very helpful answer to photo.stackexchange.com/questions/12045/… about calculating long exposure times. How does that technique correlate to your first point here? If the camera can correctly meter at a high ISO in low light, why can't it do the math for me at a lower ISO? |

What can I use to attach a strap to the tripod socket on my camera? @5arx: I've never used it so I don't know if it swivels, but it doesn't look like it. The Luma quick-release clasp that goes with their straps does swivel, which is maybe why that one doesn't. I don't think it's just for compacts: they make a point of saying you can mount it to lens tripod mounts, and the photo looks like it's mounted on an SLR. Besides, don't all cameras use the same thread size? |

Can a camera or lens get burn in? Any links to the astrophotography study? And what counts as a "surprisingly long amount of time"? |

What are the downsides of leaving my camera in burst mode all the time? This is a good point, but doesn't really answer the question. If you hadn't had your camera in burst mode, you would've had no chance of getting the "woah" shot at all. |

How to reduce the file size of my photos (to under 15 MB)? I don't think the method of uploading files is the problem, it's Flickr's 15 MB limit. |
