To all my buddies who helped me fix this camera at the low, low, low cost of
an AC adapter and several months of my endless postings.... thanks very
much!!!  After a couple of intermittent starts/stops, the camera is
puttering along just like new again

No way of knowing for sure, but looks like plugging and unplugging the AC
adapter into the camera a few times loosened up a switch or cleaned a
contact or something.  I never did need to take it apart. (Dang!! I wuz
looking forward to that, too!)

I took a few photos tonight and will post them at
alt.binaries.photos.original under this subject title.  Bear in mind that
these are just mediocre photos - nothing special.  Just showing what the
camera can do in a low light situation .... once it's in working order.
Will take some "real" photos outdoors one day soon and post.

1/3 - Kitchen, no zoom used, used existing light (night time) and no flash
2/3 - Maximum zoom on the potatoes from same point (10x optical), used flash
3/3 - Maximum zoom on the potatoes from same point (10x optical + 2.7x
digital), used flash

Good show...  glad to hear it.

Cleaned a contact, by the way.  The switch is open with
the plug installed, and closed when it's removed.
Did you not get the pics I sent you showing how it
works?  If not, better check your e-mail :)

Take care.

Ken

Got 'em, Ken.  Sorry for the delayed thanks!  Excellent photo showing that
switch. Why don't you post it!

this is not a binary group and most newsservers will not pass the
attachments.

That's right...  I forgot to say "don't post binaries to a non-binary
group".  I used alt.binaries.photos.original.
