trying not to use the flash as much as possible. easily gives us away. this camera system was intended to be used for long range reconnassiance.
i think there's a remote trigger in the bag. that'd be pretty sweet if i could rig it up.
Well if you're doing long distance shots, you'll need to stabilize the camera. Set the focus to infinity, shoot a really low aperature (f13-20) and lower and you'll just get additional noise. adjust the shutter to compensate.
The key to shooting long range shots (just like shooting a rifle) is to properly stabilize the rig. You could go so far as to lock up the mirror to prevent blurring resulting from the shutter slap.
Remote triggering would be ideal since you're not physically pressing the shutter release. I usually use the timer.
