On the surface, it seems to work fine, but once you use the manify tool to get a decent stab at focussing, you then cant take a shot as it crased the programme.

Focussing would look sharp on the pc at full screen size, then the shot itself would be OOF :shrug:

Finally, random crashed, freezes, and worst of all, camera crash!

Sure, it was Beta and some teething issues should be expected, but i only downloaded the beta on Friday last week.
