Thanks for the information

When used off camera, does the power zoom automatically adjust to match the lens focal length?

I thought the camera's built-in flash control had to be in CMD mode and the SB700 set to REMOTE in order to operate the flash off camera. However, today I triggered the the flash with the built-in flash set to TTL, the SB700 set to REMOTE with the SU-4 wireless operation mode. Is this a defect in my equipment? Since I only have 1 flash which wireless operation should I use, ADVANCED or SU-4?

With the SB-700, I can use the camera or flash to adjust flash output. However, if I make adjustments on both, the flash output is changed by the cumulative total of the two adjustments. In other words, the camera adjustment "adds" to the flash adjustment. Should be the same for the SB-800.

Sorry, I hit the send button by accident...I also wanted to say that none of that stuff matters at this point. We all know why we feel the way we do about this case. I think there's one question we all need to ask ourselves, and that is: "Would I feel the same way if it were my child, grandchild or other close family member?" Regardless of the outcome, there's going to be a lot of unhappy people. It's scary to think about how much uglier things could get.

I agree that the child abuse charge is over the top but I do want to set the record straight....on the night of the shooting Zimmerman was recorded to be 5'8" tall and weighed 200 lbs while Martin was listed as 6'0" and 158 lbs.

You state that it is possible Zimmerman profiled Martin and started the confrontation but Martin being top makes this a clear case of self defense? So basically you're saying that I could walk up to you and pick a fight, you commence to kick my butt, I can shoot you, claim self defense then go on my way until I find someone else to fight,right? About your reference to evidence and witnesses...have you noticed that not one witnesses has testified that he/she saw Martin banging Zimmerman's head on the concrete? What do you think about that?

Obviously, you know nothing about marijuana...first of all, I've never heard of anyone becoming violent after smoking a joint. To simply state he smoked that day is ludicrous but which seem par for your comments up to this point. According to Wikipedia, the following came from Martin's autopsy report:

Martin had trace levels of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, in his blood and urine.[144][145] The toxicology report found the levels to be 1.5 nanograms/ml of THC and 7.3 nanograms/ml of THC-COOH, a metabolite of THC that can stay in the system for weeks after cannabis has been smoked. Larry Kobilinsky, a professor of forensic science, stated that the THC amount was so low that it may have been ingested days earlier and played no role in Martin's behavior.

Now I ask you, where did you get the information that counters those findings? About your reference to Dummy, were you referring to me or looking in the mirror?

Over the years , I have discovered that there are: (a) people who simply don't understand; and, (b) people who don't want to understand. No disrespect but in this conversation, I put you in category b. I didn't mean assumptions have been made in this case. I was only trying to point out the difference between being A suspect and being suspect. You can check any dictionary and you'll find that the word suspect (when used as a noun) is defined as a person who is believed to have committed a crime. Going back to my initial comment, I said Zimmerman's reference to Martin as the suspect, in my opinion, shows he has a police mentality...not saying that is good or bad, but it does bring about the possibility that he was more aggressive than he says he was.

What does the video have to do with this case?

According to the autopsy report Martin did have traces of THC in his blood; however, because the amount so low it was determined that Martin had no recent drug use. Therefore, drugs did not play a role in the incident.

Maybe there's something wrong with me but I never saw this as being racial incident. Based on your comment, it appears that you place more emphasis on the people involved; where as, I chose to focus on what happened. I guess it all comes down to how we process information.....

Considering that the kid was allowed to enter through the front gate and he was killed less than 100 yds from where he was staying, I'd say he had every right to be where he was. It's true he had a troubled past but he wasn't doing any of those things when this happened. Years ago, there was a lady who was raped by several men in a bar on a pool table. If I remember correctly, the men escaped prosecution because the lady was a prostitute. Do you think what happened to her was OK or justifiable just because of her background?

You're correct if the word is used as a verb, i. e. I suspect something...however, when the word is used as a noun, i. e., the suspect blah blah blah .... the assumption is that a crime was committed. Check Webster and any legal dictionary.

I meant to say the state of Florida or any other state is NOT intimidated or influenced by Al Sharpton's remarks. I apologize for this and other tpyos.
