I would set the Focus Zone to center focus and explain to them they they need to wait until the green light goes on, then press the shutter button down all the way. ......once you get into this situation you will understand exactly what I am talking about.

I say this cause I was at a meet and greet with a band. And if my husband wanted to be in the picture with me we had to find somebody and try to explain all of this to them...just use the PASM mode and set it for center zone then tell them just to hold down the button half way, wait for a green light then shoot. otherwise you could be frustrated. It really is a great camera if you have patience to study it and figure things out. I was amazed that I set the camera in the PASM mode with ISO 400....took a picture of my husband in the dark and it came out...that is amazing to me. I don't think it takes pictures in the dark like that with auto focus but it worked great on the PASM mode with ISO 400. As far as the other camera goes it's only 3.1 megapixels...the Kodak is 4. I think 4 is better than 3.1.
Hi Angel, got the camera today, GREAT. Like you say, it will take a bit of getting used to, so many different options on it, I,ve just taken a few quick snaps with it to try it out, but what i,ve seen so far is fantastic!. Will give you a proper report on it when I get the chance to use it properly. Ps, Liked the Puerto Rico shots, hope to show you some of mine soon, thanks for camera tips too.
