Good to hear that Babe has those days, too. *grins*
As for the camera... yeah. I can definitely say I know what you mean. And that's a slippery slope, that one.
(As for manual focus... you have a compact superzoom sort of thing, yes? Manual focus tends to be as good as useless with compacts, really... extremely hard to get right, and really, more trouble than it's worth. But then, I don't really bother with manual focus even with the DSLR.
Changing other settings manually is another matter, but again, with a compact, not necessarily very useful - the sensor size really limits what you can do aperture-wise, and the ISO limits what you can do shutter speed wise. But it's certainly worth fiddling with, to see what can be achieved.)
