i've got the same camera. like the camera alot, but the timer thing is annoying. don't have a pic of me with my best fish of the season (except for this crappy self portrait I took holding the camera and fish) becuse of it
for night photos, they usually come out best if you shine a concentrated light at what you want to take the picture of, push the button half way down until it focuses on the light, move the light away and take the photo. don't use a red light in the photos, it'll skrew up the focus since the camera uses a red light to focus.
there's no way i'm sending it in for yearly service. i don't dunk it for long, if at all. at $50+ for service, i'll take my chances and replace it (right around $200 if i remember right) if something goes wrong. is the warranty good for more than a year anyway?
