| I spotted the matt in the van, stopped behind it and took out my camera. I took the picture at the precise moment that the man spotted me. He immediately ran up to me and shouted at me angrily, telling me to disclose who I worked for, why I was following him and demanding I hand over my camera. People can be a bit touchy sometimes. |

| wim commented on 07.29.07 | | I just chequed my camera, it has M S A P as standard possibilities for settings, apart from the flash positions |
|

| robert k commented on 07.29.07 | | if you want to keep your setting to no flash automatically i've found you have to have the camera set to manual (side dial set to the camera icon with M beside it) and then set to no flash. Try that. |

|
| wim commented on 07.29.07 | | I can choose between 2or 3 standard settings A,P and S I guess |

| Sleepeasy commented on 07.29.07 | | Thanks rk, that I've found out about. But I sometimes forget to turn the flash off. What I am hoping to discover is how to change the settings so that when I turn the camera on, it automatically chooses the "no flash" setting, instead of the "flash-all-the-time-even-in-broad-daylight" setting. |

| robert k commented on 07.29.07 | | very simple with the Canon. With you camera set to take a a picture press the little lightening bolt icon on the settings dial on the back of your camera until you get a lightening bolt with a circle and a line through it on the display screen. |

| Sleepeasy commented on 07.29.07 | | For this one I used a Canon ixus 800IS |

|
| robert k commented on 07.29.07 | | what camera are you using? |
|
|
| Sleepeasy commented on 07.29.07 | | I've tried to change the default setting to non-flash, but I can't seem to programme the bugger. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 07.29.07 | | You did well. And you were lucky to get a parking space at that spot. Best to keep the auto-flash permanently off. |
|
|
| wim commented on 07.29.07 | | I can just see him do it, lucky for me agression happens only in my line of work and barely ever with mattresses |

|
| Sleepeasy commented on 07.29.07 | | I did flash. I was in such a rush, worrying I might miss the shot, I forgot to turn off the auto-flash. I explained the streetmattress concept, and he looked at me with a mixture of mistrust, contempt and disbelief. In the end I said in my stern, authoritative voice: "Look, if I were spying on you, I would hardly sit here taking a flash photograph, now would I?" At that, he turned and left, grumbling. |

| Smart Set commented on 07.29.07 | | It looks as though you used flash. More discreet without it. What did you say to Mr Angry? |
|
|
| Chaf commented on 07.29.07 | | There's been many an occasion I missed a shot for fear of streetmattres picture reprisal. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 07.28.07 | | How did you escape? |
|
|
| robert k commented on 07.28.07 | | we should carry official SM credentials. congrats on the risky MdM. |
