I've got one of the Seculine levels, but I gave up trying to set
it up because the instructions aren't very good. It even has
different sensitivities and tolerances. The best is
Within 0.2deg +/- 0.1deg I'm not sure if I could hold the
camera at that, but it goes down to Within 1deg +/- 0.2deg

Must dig it out and have a moan
Doesn't beep for a start.

Just tried the Seculine again. Quite simple to set up.
Level the tripod. Push a button for 2 secs. 5 LED's flash
for about 5 secs. It's now set, but on the highest sensitivity
it's impossible to handhold. Difficult even with a tripod.

What about the Rugby league world cup thingy, with the Australia a, b, c, d and e teams competing under the guise of other countries, like Italy?
Are you saying that taking your dog for a walk in Scotland
means your not qualified to play for their National Side

Italy seem a very good side and at least they all have
Italian surnames.

I'm not going to any of the matches this year, but went to
quite a few in 2000 and they were good entertainment. The
crowd usually supported the underdogs even when England
were playing. Some really top talent on show.

Some tries from 2008 held in Australia....

It's actually more than 1/3 stop..... 0.39 stops = 4/10ths stop.

It's worth having because for fill in flash you can get away
without using a super-powered gun and for things like birds
1/250th is better than 1/180th

Using 1/3rd stops on the camera the nearest to 1/180 is
1/160th which makes matters worse..... Now 2/3rds stop
difference

Using the sunny 16 rule at 100ISO the normal setting
would be 1/160th at f/9...... The extra 1/250th setting
would allow fill in flash at 1/250th at f/7.1. Knowing
the Guide No. of your flash you could work out a distance
and then another distance for 1 stop underexposed and
use the flash between the two.

Need a model with 1/250th flash synch -- Canon T 90 and Nikon did it years ago !
Wasn't the Pentax Z1-P 1/250th sec.

There's a GREEN setting on the Mode Dial you can use!
For anything beyond that you need to be a competent photographer

You don't hear musicians such as guitar players asking for
buttons on the fretboard to fret chords
