Amazing!
I just spent half the morning trying to take pics of my YM... all I had to do was come on here for Jocke's.

Can you photoshop the date to "13" so I can say I took it?!

Somehow the camera is focusing on the Rolex logo in the wallet.. I woudl try the same but focus on the dial or the 6oclock edge of the bezel.
or increase the fstop a lot..

Welcome to TRF.

Thanks, it's a new camera and not sure how to get it to focus on what I want, not what it decides should be the focal point! lol

I will keep working on it...!
