I'll tell you what annoyed me today, I was down in Edinburgh and the weather was good for taking photos so I decided to concentrate on the castle. My camera decided that no matter what settings I decided to use it would use a shutter speed of 1/4sec. Shutter priority, aperture, manual, programe all the same,What's that all about? Couldn't work it out. I took the camera to a shop to ask them to look at it incase I was missing something, but no. The only way to sort it was to use the reset button on the bottom of the body, anyone had this problem before, with a Nikon D80?

Question -

Were you using flash?
Cause you flash sync speed could be set to 1/4th of a second...

No I wan't using flash, but I did check it wasn't having an effect (it's currently set to 1/60). The strange this was that regardless of what the camera settings were it would fire at this speed, the camera was metering correctly and telling met it was going to release the shutter at, say, 1/1000, but it then fired at about 1/4. Then reviewing the picture the EXIF info told me the shutter speed had been what it was supposed to be according to the camera's metering but I could hear that it wasn't 1/1000 it was about 1/4. Very strange

It's not my flippin' week... Now the bloody Freelander won't go into gear! Grrrrr... Can't be the clutch 'cos it had a new one fitted last year.

Any mechanics out there got any ideas?

It'll go into gear when the engine's switched off but not when it's running.

I'd hate to do that, so I have my camera set up not to fire when the card isnt in :D

I have to give it to Matt Harris, being that close to the waves is blinking scary with a camera. I got splashed once, but from the side. I will manage it one day.

It's a Nikon which by default, stops you taking photos without memory cards. Why this was set differently I don't know.

More often than not this is because the image for whatever reason has been removed by the original poster. Some users for example like to delete an image from their gallery (or wherever else the image lives) to free up space and / or the image has served it's purpose i.e. a screenshot of something. The text remains in the post unless it is modified in some way by use of the edit facility but the image which has now been deleted in the gallery is replaced with a small box containing a red cross as you have pointed out.
