shrunk to 18% The image to the right has been shrunk from 1600x1200 pixels to fit this page. They were taken in good daylight at 11:35 BST in early August.

This picture illustrates the A40 capturing a fast moving object. As with most non-professional DC's - there is significant delay between pressing the button and the picture being taken - requiring a hight degree of anticipation. In this case the button was pressed as the subject launched from the trampoline into the low backward sumersault.

Below part of the above image as downloaded from the A40 before shrinking and compression. This image is stored in the jpeg format with a Compression Factor of 1 to preserve the original quality as downloaded from the A40.
