Thanks, jib, and yeah the white balance is really screwed up on lots of shots. It's either time to get a real camera, or maybe learn how to use the one I have. I do wish I'd been able to get a better shot of the dear lady who was trying to get her Darling Doggie to pose properly and smile for the camera. It doesn't show very well, but FiFi had little ribbons in her hair and was wearing a charming sweater.

Thanks for the pointer to Pickles's post, LapLap. I'd thought I remembered him writing one, but a search in the Japan forum using FT's Fine Search Engine didn't get me there. (Silly me: I searched for the term 'hoshinoya')
