Last few days, I really had a shock.
The LCD screen of my camera suddenly turn blank!
Whenever I switch on my camera, I would be just staring at a blank screen. I had to ‘estimate’ then point and shoot at something. Surprisingly though, after I shot the photo, the LCD screen would show me a brief preview of the photo before turning blank again.
Sigh. I guessed the camera had come to the end of its life span. I would need to shop for a new partner.
Out of desperation, I googled for any similar situation encounter by other netizens.
After reading through multiple articles and various forums, I stumbled upon this line:
Are you sure you didn’t just accidentally press onto the DISP button?
I was like … huh? What button?
Immediately I grabbed the camera and press on that button.
Like magic, the LCD panel came back to life! Yeah. Hurray.
Thanks to Google power. ^-^
Luckily u didnt send for repair… haha
Actually you can still use the manual viewfinder right? But I had a bad experience with a Canon digital camera, so now I’m sticking with Nikon
oh yes.. google is the best!
Or you could have just asked the god of cameras, Chen!
LOL
Fibrate, since when i become god of cameras?
didi, I almost did
Was planning to send it to a Canon Concept Store in Sunway Pyramid
Adino, manual viewfinder in a compact camera?
You kidding me?
Jys, thanks for coming to my blog
Fibrate, I shy to ask chen
I am not sure I can explain it properly
Then Chen will say: hami hami ?
chen, your new title?
That’s the reason in my career line (technical) we always got this reminder R.T.F.M. (Read The F**king Manual). Anyway good for you finding out new things on your cam.
Haha Yenjai, I think “Melon” is still better than “Sotong”. By the way I don’t know anyone who owns more cameras than Chen
manual viewfinder in a compact camera?

Melon talk here ah?
Fibrate, i don’t own “that many” cameras leh
Yenjai, my compact digicam has manual viewfinder too leh..
