I've never had any problems with my D200 shooting blue. I can try the D300s on some blue vandas in the morning.
I'm paging through the 400 page manual. At least they give you one. Most things now a days tell you to print your own. I also bought two books on the camera and am presently reading the first. Still don't know how to shoot movies but it'll come. While reading I also watched Uconn murder Florida State. Multitasking and all that.
Laurel did you say your daughter graduated from Smith two years ago? What was her major?
