[QUOTE="J-see, post: 395238, member: 31330"] The problem likely is that your cam is set to shoot only when something is in focus. Since it is often hard for it to find something to focus upon in the sky or clouds, it'll not shoot. I have mine set in such a way I can always trigger regardless if in focus or not. A simple trick is to focus on something else in the distance that is clearly defined and then shoot the clouds. That might only work with back-button focus. Check this out for back-button focus: [URL]http://nikonites.com/tutorials/26657-back-button-focus-how-use.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
