I lent our A570IS to a relative for a cruise to Alaska. She didn't want
to take the NiMH batteries and charger, so I told her to bring plenty of
disposable AA Alkaline batteries, which she didn't, so she was buying AA
batteries on the ship (I cringe to think of the price that ...

I wonder if anyone here can advise me on a rather unusual problem.
I'm being harrassed by antisocial teenagers in my neighbourhood, and
the police can't help me because I don't know their names or where
they live. And there are never any adults around whom I can point them

The reason I ask is that I found my new Sigma HSM lens would not allow
manual focus unless the AF switch is off. I thought one of the
advantages of USM or HSM is that you can always manually focus the
lens regardless of AF function. This is certainly the case on all my

   I've never visited this group before but it seemed like a good place
to find another E-520 owner.
   I had my E-520 for less than a week before I discovered a problem
with the autofocus when using the 13-42mm kit lens.

I'm using Aperture 1.5.6 and have a ton of images with a variety of
ratings that I want to reset.  I figured selecting all the images and
doing Cmd-0 (for no rating) would work, but it only changes the rating
of the one image that's currently highlighted.  Any idea how I can do

When I scuba my Canon camera is enclosed in a WP-DC5 waterproof case.
Sometime the button for the shutter sticks in a half way down position.
I always clean the case in fresh water and I have also tried injecting
silicone grease into the lubricating slot of that button but it still ...

What exactly happens when a camera is set to macro mode?
And why are some lenses "macro lenses" while others are not? Can a lens
which is not a macro lens take close-ups?

While the original message was a troll, there is something to be said
about the subject line.  The thing is, with a good camera you can pick
and choose which technical aids are appropriate for the shot you are
taking.  That is why many folks like a camera which allows manual

I'm able to store customized settings of my Olympus C0750 Ultra Zoom and
they last for one battery change. When I change my batteries for the
second time, the customized settings are lost and they revert to the
factory settings.

The (expensive) Carl Zeiss 16-80 for the Sony Alpha DSLRs is only good
from F5.6 onwards. With wider apertures at wide angle the corners become
soft to very soft, depending on aperture and distance from the image
centre. According to photozone the same holds for several other ...

It's hard to believe that with digital cameras having been on the market
for over 10 years now, that there are STILL some people who have never
heard of them or know what they are!
I'm not talking about the elderly who might not be interested in

I just finished a shoot where I took both JPG and RAW images.  I imported
the whole set into iPhoto, and now I want to select just the JPGs.  I don't
see any way to do this, other than to go through the entire event and
individually select each JPG.  I must be missing something.  ...
