All I Wanted Was. . .

. . . another digital camera, the one I had for years was starting to have some problems.

So, I asked that another be order. Within a couple days, it was setting on my desk with a note saying it was a ‘state of the art’ camera. I tried it but quickly discovered two major flaws. First, it had no viewfinder. While it did have a large LCD monitor it was hard to see what you were taking pictures of on a sunny day. Secondly, the majority of the pictures I took came out blurry. No matter what I did, the pictures were blurred.

So, after looking around and I found a few I liked. I asked that the new one be returned and one of these others be ordered. Well, my new camera arrived. It has a viewfinder. And I know it takes pictures that are in focus.

But look at the manuals that came with it! Of course, the first thing you see when you open the box is a slip of paper telling you that to prevent damage to the camera please read ALL the manuals first. Half the manuals are in English. I’m hoping I don’t void the warrant if I don’t read the others. Just the English version ones will take all weekend.

I flipped through one of them they are talking about things like macros, color swapping, postcard data imprints, and DPOF transfer settings. I think I still do better with things like power button, zoom, and focus.

See you Monday; I have some reading to do.
