    One more thing is there some special setting or technique for taking shots with actinic? Mine just don't come out anywhere near to the real thing.

    Good looking shroom, appears to be a discosoma species. I have had a hard time with the camera making the actinic pictures look like what I am taking also. Try fiddling with the white balance and ISO settings.

    Thank you both. I really like it.
    I will have to do some reading on using the camera better. I'm sure my camera should be able to do better than that with the actinic shots.

    I found practice and experimentation worked well even after breaking down and reading the instructions.

    The manual does look pretty thick. i will play around with the camera settings some more to try to figure it out.
