Nice catch! I would suggest putting the camera in something like landscape/scenic mode, where the camera is focused to infinity. And, if your cam will do it in this mode, a long exposure, say, five seconds or more in a frequent strike storm.

Timing the pressing of the button on a digital camera for something this precise is teh suck.

Also, small aperture setting. Lightning is bright.

Truth in advertising: I've never caught a decent lightning strike.
