Digital Photography

I am really mesmerized by the possibilities that digital photography has to offer. I have a Canon A75 and I am going to have tonnes of fun with this.

Yesterday got bit of a scare. I had taken my A75 for clicking some photos. Everything was fine
until I went into a cold room to click a photo of the rack of equipments. I found that the camera
display would go blank. It only operated in display mode. Panic set in since I did not even use
my camera so far and if it had to konk now..

Anways since the display mode was working, there was hope. At least I can view pictures! What pay > 15K Rs. to view pictures? Now the engineer in me jumped to solve this issues. Tried re-booting it to start with ;-). (That is a common solution at the company where I develop network drivers.. uh oh!)

Tried several things still could not get the camera to operate in record mode. Cursed my luck and went back to work, trifle disappointed. Searched through the camera manuals and online groups to see if someone ever faced similar issues. Hit couple of things, but not exactly same. Read somewhere that the battery performance goes down in cold temperatures. Decided to try
something .. tried to warm up the battery. Tried one more time to power on the camera. Thankfully now the camera muttered that the battery is low. Relieved, tried the alkaline batteries that came with the camera and found that the camera is okay.. hurray! So look forward to some clicking..
