Oh, my, Betty, take my foot out of mouth for me. I am so sorry that you thought I meant you. You sent some me today and they were fine - in fact they were perfect. And to any one else who thought that I was pointing a finger - I wasn't - I just was hoping that some of you could adjust your cameras because that one setting would save me hours and hours of work. Sorry - I just thought if part of your could do that it would be worth my asking. I certainly didn't intend to offend anyone. Please - please feel free to send what ever you want.
