Sticky Matter
Not another post about The Gates.
Well, it's not. Even though what you see above is the material that was used.
This post is about the camera that I'm using now. I have lost numerous shots... hundreds maybe; because of what I think might be a sticky shutter. The camera works fine 90% of the time, but the other 10%, it gives totally black images, or cuts off the lower and upper quarters with black borders. Most occur outside in the winter cold.
I'd switch the camera off and on, only to be faced with the same situation in a few seconds, or if I am lucky, in a few minutes. I would also get an "Err99" message. I've contemplated sending it to Canon, but I am sure that they would find fault on the fact that I've previously dropped the camera a few months ago, cracking the LCD screen in 17 places. And I'd be camera-less in the mean time for nearly a month, before receiving a bill for no less than a few hundred dollars.
