Set the 2sp on auto, use exposure compensation to underexpose between 1 and
2 stops. Closer to 1. The amount you select depends upon the amount of black
background sky there is. I used this for our local fireworks. Make sure the
batteries are good, as long exposures can eat batteries. Those should be
fine.

Tomorrow it all ends with a big bang, a bigger bang than was put on for
the millenium NYE celebrations last year. Which leads to a question
(which I'm sure is answered in the archives somewhere, but danged if I
can find a summary): what do our expert firworks photographers prefer in
terms of film, and what is a suggested starting point in terms of
exposure?
