Quick question for all you pros: are there any tricks to better focusing during dark night shots? Its difficult for me to manually focus and get it dead on, and if there's no nearby lights for the camera to focus on then its useless. I've been carrying a flashlight and shining it on the subject so the camera can see it, then putting it in manual focus to keep it there. Any other suggestions?

Also, (I should probably Google this first, sorry) anything special I have to do to hook up a tablet to the camera so I can preview the shots instead of trying to look at a tiny 3" screen?

Zdayz 2015 woohoo!
