[QUOTE="dr_eyehead, post: 317144, member: 25249"] I autofocused it, took a picture, and then looked at in playback at full zoom, after which I had turned the auto focus off manually. Maybe that's the problem, turning the autofocus off with the button, and then the camera expects the lenses to move and they don't and it computer malfunctions.. Anyway, I went back out and again it wouldn't let me take any pictures, tried taking the battery out etc.. After much exasperation I finally discovered that it would let me take photos in the mode where you view the scene on the monitor that's too bright from for night photography, and after some playing around, while the moon was setting I discovered that I could also again take pictures in the viewfinder mode despite the fact it still says 'subject is too dark' It seemed to like taking out of focus shots in auto mode, then after that nothing. I ended up just focusing it manually anyway. [/QUOTE]
