MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
So had a lovely afternoon in amazing sunshine, snow on hills, sparkling vista's, mucking about at a local mine, scrambling on the rocks with the kids, seeing and eagle etc - all the time taking lots of snaps with shiny new DSLR.
.
Except my camera tells you ONCE (when one of the kids turned it on) it has no memory card in, and then allows you to snap away, even showing the shot you have taken before not recording it and carrying on.
.
Not a jot, not a sausage, not a picture.. 🙁
Oops.
Pff. Never mind. Sounds like an awesome morning out.
I never had a camera when I was a kid for all the things I got up to and the pictures are still crystal clear in my ageing noggin.
HA! Thats nothing, I once paid good money (well it was back then) to go on the photobus at the RIAT at Greenham Common. Got a fair way round snapping merrily at the display aircraft when I thought, 'this is good film, it last for ages'.
What film. 🙄
Should be a setting you can select that doesn't allow shooting without a card, what camera is it?
Pentax K100D
No inbuilt memory? I left my card in the computer once and went for a ride, took lots of pics.
Was shocked when I got home and realised there was no card in the camera. Plugged the camera into the computer and they were stored on on the inbuilt camera memory.
I'm talking about an old Panasonic Lumix not a fancy camera by the way.
As above, should be a setting that disables the shutter with no mem card.
Also - buy a cheap card and keep it in your camera bag for just this type of thing - when you leave the card stuck in the card reader etc...
I had a K100D Super and not sure there is a setting to disable the shutter, contradicting my own advice there, but worth having a look on case there is
One of the reasons I don't just have a single large capacity card, at least that way know I have a few spares in my bag, but there again the OP didn't actually know he had forgotten it
Lesson learnt for the future is about the only good thing to come from it
The memories will be all the richer for not having pictures of it all.
yeh right, who you kidding?The memories will be all the richer for not having pictures of it all.
