I’m going to have to dig out the manual for my camera this week. I ran into a situation where what I thought should happen, wasn’t happening. Specifically I was trying to take a picture of some clouds yesterday, and the camera refused to actually take a picture. Two observations I have on the situation, it was raining lightly, and the auto-focus was apparently focusing on the raindrops rather than the clouds, and there was a blinking hexagon in the dashboard of the viewfinder. Odd as it may seem, a blinking dashboard doesn’t mean all that much to me, so I’ll have to pull out the manual, and see if it means something to the manufacturer.
Kind of wish I had grabbed the camera between taking out each of the dogs, though I don’t think I would have been able to take a picture at that time. Not because of the light, but because of the dog on the other end of a lead making it difficult to hold a camera still, and what not.
It may be that I have to switch to my manual focus lense for those sotrs of pictures though. We’ll see.
