Camera Auto Focus.........Todays WTF???
-
My eldest sproglet came to me this morning and said "Dad, my camera is all fuzzy." She handed it to me and sure enough the auto-focus isn't auto focusing, so I moved the zoom in and out to check that was all working ok, there were no settings to adjust, however as I moved it around I noticed there was auto focus adjustment happening. So, I took the camera pointed it at something about 6 foot away, blurry as a blurry thing. Rotating the camera through 180 degrees so it is now upside down and for some bizarre reason, the autofocus kicks in and the image on the LCD is perfect. Rotates it back the right way up and it is out of focus again. Can't for the life of me think why the camera would work when it is upside down, but not the right way up :-/ :confused:very:confused:

Autofocus is evil; don't use it.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Of course they are too young to need a phone, so they are not getting one, plain and simple as that. The eldest is 9 and some of her friends have phone, so as you an imagine there is some peer pressure happening, but the words "tough sh!t" still come to mind.

:rolleyes: and a kick in the arse is still as effective upside down as well you know..... :)
Sorry, I couldn't resist...

Similar but different. Daughters camera...take piccy "normally" and get white. Take piccy with flash and OK. Outside, inside, same result. Camera in bin. :( Not so bad as it was six years old and only a $150 jobbie.
