This is more of a computer query than photo.
When you want to cut and paste files from one folder to another i am shure there is a way of doing them all together rather than one at a time. The files are in between other files so i cant just select them all.

Have you considered a Monopod? I find my Sigma 50-500 far too heavy to handhold but can manage it on a Monopod just fine, and its far more flexible that the tripod.
I have never realy thought about a Monopod, but might just be the thing.

Tried out the 55-300 and at full zoom had s job keeping it steady (when i was knee high to a grasshopper i could keep a 400 tele steady with one hand)age catches up with all of use.
So if i can lever the moths from the wallet a REDSNAPPER is in order.
Is the bald head or the pan the best, the pan looks like a recipe for disaster, looking through the viewfinder/panning/all fall down.

It was £64.99.
Spoke to SRS, I'm to post it back to them and they'll send out a new one once it's received.
Depends how badly you want it I suppose.

Barrie - I use Micro Direct for pc gear. I'd recommend the Ilyama range of monitors, although I think they are also pretty good price-wise on Samsung monitors.

Or, here's a 19:10 monitor...

SHOOT IN CATCH-IN FOCUS MODE.
When (20. catch-in focus) in the (C custom setting 3) menu (p.90) is set to (on), if (AF mode) is set to AF.A or AF.S and one of the following types of lenses is attached . catch-in focus shooting is enabled and the shutter is released automaticly when the subject comes into focus.
.
MANUAL FOCUS LENS.
DA OR FA LENS that has an AF and MF setting on the lens (the setting on the lens must be set to MF before shooting)
HOW TO TAKE PICTURES
1 Attach a proper lens to the camera.
2 Set the focus mode lever to AF.(THE ONE ON THE CAMERA BODY NOT ON THE LENS)
3 Set (AF mode) to AF.A or AF.S.
4 Set the focus on a position the subject will pass.
5 Press the shutter release button fully.
the shutter is released automaticlly when the subject comes into focus at the set position.
So if you have a manual lens your ok other wise you will need prime or special lenses, kit lenses wont work and neither will the 35mm or the 55/300.
Hope this is of some help.
I need to learn how to type, my finger is shorter than when i started.

I am happy with the raw file as it came from the camera, just clicked cloudy to alter the white balance.

Don't think a PSD file would be as big as that from a raw image... I could be wrong though!!
47 MB.
