I also played around with it when I got home and figured some more things out like extended exposure (for those cool night shots next to a highway), figured out how to take rapid fire pics (best for moving shots so you have options), and I think I figured something else out on the way home that should assist with focusing. What I mean by that last comment is there is an option where you can change the focal point (I believe that's what is it) and would make the shots I took less fuzzy in the rear section of the car. In either case, the camera is a Canon EOS Rebel XT 8mp.
