     Well a better approach, just to make sure the auto-focus doesn't
     get `faked-out' by the glass or some other condition, is to manually
     focus the camera at infinity.  All it takes is a single push of an
     admittedly hard-to-press button.

      Thought of this myself but haven't tried it yet.  One problem of 
      course is keeping accurate framing when moving the lens cap and 
      re-aiming the camera.  But otherwise, can't think why it shouldn't
      work.

      What I want to do most with my S1 is use polarizers, but I haven't
      figured out a good system yet.  I'll let you know when I do.  Maybe
      we need a list for just S1 owners?  :-)
