Thank you Ron, I'll check into that lens. The bit about focusing/auto focus is info that I can sure take into consideration. The ring light might well help also. 

The problem usually comes down to space for me. We ride a motorcycle and the equipment we can carry with us is therefore limited. For example taking a tripod along is not really easy to do. We have a couple of hiking sticks that slip down to about a 14-15 inch length and also are designed with a screw/bolt on top to mount the camera if needed. Keeping the "subject" still is another problem for us. If we are riding along the Blue Ridge Parkway and do a stop and see a subject, wind and breeze can be a problem. We tend to make do with what we have at hand. I don't get every photo I want but we enjoy the ride and we enjoy the photos when we return home. 

Thank you to everyone for their help and comments.

This was a frequent problem with my P600. Pulling the battery and then reinserting always regained camera controls.

The camera was probably psychic!  :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:  It always seemed to happen when I was attempting rapid photo shots (action shots).
