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 Fred

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

That's right... I forgot to say "don't post binaries to a non-binary group". I used alt.binaries.photos.original. "Gymy Bob" <nothanx@bight.me> wrote in message news:LMOdnUx2MfWf-kbcRVn-sg@golden.net...
