I can not figure out my work camera. You know. The one I wrote about a week or so back. It had frozen up, giving no message but "Card error," and I had to use my personal camera.
That has not gone as well as I had hoped. The pictures are not as high a quality as I like, and it shows. Well, it's a cheaper camera, after all. And since I hadn't sent the work camera back to the repair center yet, I remembered that I had to do that. So this morning, I found a suitable size box at home and got ready to ship it out. I looked over the form I filled out for it, and it was fine. Then I decided to look at the camera again. I had taken the memory card and batteries out, so I put them back in, just to see.
I turned the switch ... and it went on. The way it's supposed to. I turned it off and then back on. It turned on again. Over the day, I tried it several times. It worked every time. I took it to volleyball tonight, and it worked well.
It seems that the camera may have "reset" itself. The settings weren't the way I had left them, the memorized settings were gone, and I had to reset them, too. I had to change other settings during the evening after checking the pictures I had taken.
But the quality was there. The pictures looked pretty good--I'll get a better idea once I see them on my monitor tomorrow. Obviously, I'm not shipping it to the repair center in the near future.
At the same time, I'm keeping that box handy, just in case the camera decides to flake out on me again. One false move, and ...
