Yep, this is my last Gates photo. It's not really supposed to be OF the Gates, but while they were up in Central Park, it was sort of hard not to have them in your photos. Anyway, I kind of like the points of orange in the background here and think this photo might be slightly boring without them.

I finally have an update on my camera that's been out for repairs. It arrived today, back from repairs. I was so excited for the first few minutes when I shot a couple of photos and found no artificial lines on the recorded images!

But then I tried to check the settings. The date screen came up, but I couldn't set it or turn it off or even turn the camera off. Apparently they updated the firmware or something, and I'm guessing that's why it won't turn on, or when I have it on, why it won't turn off. I actually checked their website, and had a good chuckle over the advice they listed for the problem of the camera not turning on.

Advice #1. Turn the camera on.

Advice #2 through 5: Make sure the rechargeable battery is fully charged and in the slot and the battery terminals are not dirty.

If the above doesn't work, call us.

Well, just in case I am one of the stupid people, I'm recharging my battery. I can see that it's not fully drained, so I really don't think that's the problem. But I guess I should fully charge it so when I talk to Canon we won't get stuck on stupid things like that. I should probably also try to reinstall the firmware myself. I think I have to install the Canon software though, which I really don't feel like doing right now. Oh well. It could be worth it.
