I am sure that my 6D also has the same feature. My HS-50 may have one as well.

I have not looked into that.<br />I do feel very stupid for never thinking about using a tripod before this.johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05008523039059312800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743204852429391624.post-1844649511763053842015-05-20T06:36:30.995-07:002015-05-20T06:36:30.995-07:00Beautiful details, John.
