Chris, Does your camera have an option of making an index image, or something like that? Just guessing, really.

If it does, I'm not aware of it, nor how to set it... :) And, this image appeared as file #27 of 31 shots in a row. Several of the shots have serious camera movement in them, yet this image doesn't seem to reflect that in any of the 16 little moons.

My old camera (and possibly my new one, too... not sure) had a setting that did this. I could never figure out the point, though, and never used it. But sometimes I accidentally knocked it into that setting because it was right next to the one I usually used. I honestly can't remember what the setting was... I just found it very irritating. What kind of settings do you use to shoot the moon like that?

Hi Danielle... if you're asking me what settings I used to get this 16-moon shot, that is the part I just don't know. I did use a burst mode twice at one point (which is supposed to take 3, or 5, consecutive shots.) When I look at the timestamp on my images, I can see 3 in a row (ie, they all say 6:46) and later on in the 31 images, there are 5 in a row (all say 6:51). Without the time in hh:mm:ss, I can't really prove anything, however. This 16-moon image is the next file after the 5-in-a-row; it has a time stamp 1 minute after the 5-series. Anyway, nothing in my manual says my camera has a way to get an image repeated 16 times! And I find it weird that the thumbnail of the file shows only 1, centered moon. Yet as soon as I saved that file again (using smaller 480x640 size) the resulting thumbnail shows all 16! If you mean how'd I set the camera to capture the moon's appearance (regardless of mysterious repeating 16 times) the camera settings are in the text, right below the picture. The wind was really a problem; I just uploaded the best image of the 31, last night to my gallery. However, there is a moon shot further down in my gallery, "Moon 1.7x", that I think is much better; it was shot on a very still night!

>>"Yet as soon as I saved that file again (using smaller 480x640 size) the resulting thumbnail shows all 16!"<< I think the repeated image may have occurred as you saved it. When you saved it as 640x480 it somehow "tiled" to fill your "usual default file size of 2592x1944", so you got a single file made up of 16 640x480 images. The black sky blends pretty well, otherwise you'd see the borders of the separate images.

I'm sorry, I probably didn't write it clearly... The original camera jpg file, untouched, shows as a thumbnail of 1 moon, and when you view it, 16 moons (using Win Fax/Pic Viewer or PSE.) The thumbnail of that original file never changes (ie, 1 moon.) I opened it in PSE (16 moons show) and downsized it, saved as another name. That resulting file shows 16 moons both in thumbnail and in regular view. It is a mystery! ;) Thanks for all the replies---I'm not sure I'll ever know for sure, whether it was a fluke, or something I did on the camera...
