It works fine for me. It must be either totem didnt install that correctly
or what you are taking a picture of is too dark maybe.

your right shane.........i like the old b&w classic movies, even tho they look good....even bright, they won't snap well........to test i played a color flick and it snapped very good..........guess i'm out of luck with the stuff i really like..
thanx for your help!
