"On my cameras, if I press half_shoot in auto focus mode, then press <left>, it will go into manual focus mode."
Ye Gods, that is SO useful!! That trick also works on the sx30 and sx40, and do it again and it goes back to auto. Thanks a lot!
Whilst I am here, can someone please tell me the default button used to activate <ALT> on the sx100? Several say details all on Wiki, but damned if I can find that button listed. I am trying to set CHDK up on a friends sx100 by email, so not easy for me just to trial and error! Thanks.
