    I'm always happy for a new alert from this channel. On a different note, if you turn off the autofocus on the camera, you won't see the lens "breath" when it choses a new focus point. Obv, you risk recording an entire session out of focus if the manual focus point if off.

Thanks again and I will look through your other videos for more on playing keys in a band.
