October 17: Moon pics with the new camera . . .
Read MoreThen I found it !
The 35x optical zoom of my old SX40HS would get me much closer than what is seen in the photo above. But the only way I could get a clear picture was to use aperture priority. I don't know how or why, but it worked with that camera.
I switched to the 250 mm lens to get closer. But aperture priority didn't produce the same results on the SL3. Since I'm not sure what I'm doing, (or more importantly, why I'm doing it), I started turning dials and pressing buttons to see what would happen.
