LOL that did cross my mind but did I try some new batteries (which I have) no I spent an age rummaging through the cupboard I put unused equipment in to find a very old and dusty Cobra to check them in. Sadly the batteries work in that but I have forgotten how to use it, have to see if I have a hand book somewhere.

Hi geordie01 - no removed the batteries.

Hello Dan - new batteries, did spray contacts with switch cleaner but no difference.

Dark evenings coming on along with the party season so got my AF-360FGZ out of it's cupboard - fitted new batteries and it is totally dead - any ideas. It was fine when I put it away.

Use Imagenomic as well and it has never occurred to me to wonder if I could do better, it is quick and available from CS. Have to admit I have not learned to adjust it at all but find most of the time I am happy with the result - perhaps I am easily pleased.

Both samples published here are very good and it is indeed hard to imagine that the shot was taken at 6400 iso.

Oh dear, I can't choose between 1 and 3 - will come back after lunch and see if my hunger is effecting my choice.

That makes two of us --- at least

Hi I am just trying to come to terms with landscape shots and finding it difficult.

Not sure yours would not have been more interesting with the main feature to one side and not slap bang in the centre. Would also like something in the foreground. Having said that I do like the over all blue tone, something I expect is either liked or hated. It is a nice sky but the lack of light on the land for me is a problem in holding the interest.

All ways feel I have no right to comment on shots that are no doubt better than I could do but you did ask

My first was the ME in the early 1970's I think, don't know the model because I exchanged it for my next which is the Z1, learned my lesson and never let go of a body now, still have the Z1.

I have know idea may be their talent is not up to there expectations. So blame the kit before you have had time to learn how to use it and move on to the next, probably to sell that and try another.

Think you need to turn the program dial to something other than the automatic Green.
