Talk:Hang fire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is the expression ever used for cameras?

"Hanging fire" has obviously become a phrase outside its technical use? Such as the following phrase:

"A shoal of night-stars hang fire in the nets"

(Sting, The Soul Cages), or as in the title of a song by The Rolling Stones. Pray, what is meant by this?--Sponsianus 23:50, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
