Could be a memory problem. Try closing all other running programs
especially browsers.

Olympus used to advertise that image though the OM series was
bigger than other 35mm SLR's. It was actually a bit of a marketing
trick. They simply moved the virtual image seen by the eye in
closer so that it appeared larger. For me it was too much of
a struggle to see all of the frame at once I had to move my
eye around. You get exactly the same effect by holding a postcard
in your hand at a comfortable distance and then moving it
closer.... it's bigger, but harder to appreciate and take in.

Magnifying eyecups on a DSLR are very useful.

The car market used to be dominated by the Ford Escort!

Doesn't mean a thing...... some of the best cars sell in very
small quantities.

Went to Tesco's yesterday to replenish my beer stocks

Had to walk past the computer section and noticed that they had
offers on quite a lot of portable USB 3 drives

Came away with three Hitachi (HGST) Touro Mobile Pro 1TB's at £40
each. They also had the 500GB's at £30 each. Inside is a top
laptop 2.5" 7200rpm drive worth probably £50. Hitachi are the
most reliable drives you can buy. I might strip one out and put
it in a PC and use the other two for backups. Worth buying
even at the full price due to speed and reliability.

The PRO models have a 2 year warranty.
3GB Free Cloud BUP if required.

They come with a standard USB 3 450mm lead and you can
buy a Belkin 1M lead on ebay for £6. Cheaper leads such
as the Samsung one cost about £3.

No power cable needed it comes through the USB 3 or
USB 2 connection.

REVIEW


Summary: "...not only the fastest USB 3.0 PHD available
in the market but it also comes at a low cost and
that's why it gets our Platinum award."


Other makes such as Toshiba were also on offer.

The Tesco beer offers were OK as well

I bet the tripod with an eccentric load can do that better than you!

Why don't you read the posts before you reply John
Techo's test posts were both at 19:44 hrs so the timeout
must be about 2 seconds.
