<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"]<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-AU"]The reason I used autofocus was that the subject (the busker) was moving constantly, the distance was varying from 3 to 8 metres, so manual would have been a problem.<o></o>

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"]<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-AU"]Yes, the flash did fire every time. I chose those settings as I thought it would give me a good compromise as its well within the AF Assist beam and flash coverage.<o></o>

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"]<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-AU"]Sorry, I should have explained the 10 to 30 shots was before I reviewed the images, they were all taken in a burst of up to 3 before I pause and wait for the flask ready light again. <o></o>
