Why did you buy a Battery Manager Ultra if you believed from the
reviewers that it was defective? Caveat emptor applies!

Retiring the bad cell out of each set extends the life of the remaining
ones. Otherwise they last no time at all under load.

I've already got two of the BC-900s. I love 'em. They do come with extra
goodies, some of which however are of doubtful value. Four NiMH AAs (useful)
and four AAAs (possibly useful), a case (mostly useless), and a set of C and
D cell adapters (pretty useless). So the extra rechargeables are good, but
I've got plenty of those. Other than that, the only thing the BC-900 has
over the -700 is the 1000mA charge rating, and I never use that anyway.

Um, no, it doesn't work like that. Chargers wind up the terminal voltage
to whatever it takes to generate the rated charging current. The 800mA
charger will be faster (& hotter) than the 550mA unit.

To the OP: No, there shouldn't be any problem with using the 800mA charger.

TOPIC: Lithium AA's in Panasonic DMC-LS80EB-S

The Panasonic manual states you cannot use Lithium AA's in the
Panasonic DMC-LS80EB-S digital camera

It allows you to use nimh/ alkaline, or Oxyride (Panasonic own
brand !!) in a menu setting.

I think this is just so that the battery capacity remaining indication
is correct, as type is selected.

I do not see why you cannot use lithium, with their slightly higher
voltage, and greatly increased capacity.

I personally found Oxyrides in another camera not much better than
ordinary alkalines.

Anyone any experience of this ?

When fresh, oxyrides provide about the same voltage as lithiums.
When using them, lithiums generate more heat. If you shoot rapidly,
especially if the flash is used, the heat may damage your camera.

Lithium AA's are not recommended because they can leak and/or
release highly corrosive lithium hydroxide gas that will quickly
destroy a digital camera.

In addition to heat generation, the possibility of corrosive leaking
and/or corrosive venting of gases there is another more likely
factor that keeps camera manufacturers from recommending
lithium AA's.

Lithium AA's have a PTC over current safety device built in.
The (positive temperature coefficient) safety device is used to
turn the battery off when its temperature gets above 185 degrees
Fahrenheit. This disruption of power can cause the camera to
shut down or cause data corruption. The temperature itself,185 will
most likely not harm the camera, but the power interruption may.

Using side by side lithium's can further increase the likely hood of
more heat generation. The fact that lithium AA's are less dense
than alkaline or NIMH further increases their chance of getting hot
because they have lesser ability to absorb the heat.

From: "Focus"


Most of the photographers here are far away from each other, geographical (I
live in Portugal, for example) so we won't "bite" each other by sharing some
idea's. I was thinking how to extend my / our business(es).
One thing I came up with, is to make a small studio / booth at my local
shopping mall and make free pictures. After all, it doesn't cost that much
to make and print pictures. After people have their picture taken, they can
come back another day to pick up the photo. I was thinking of giving my
business card to them, along with the picture, but maybe it's better to make
a watermark in the picture with my business card.
As an option, I (you) could offer to make more picture at a reasonable
price, without the watermark ;-)

Now there's the practical side of the whole thing and the challenges coming
with it:

1. how do you make sure you have the right photo number and give it to the
people, so thay can pick up the photo easily?

2. I was thinking of making the pictures with the computer attached (remote
controlled), so you can already have control over the name of the file. But
this seems unpractical, because if you need to make more pictures for one
person, you want to hold the camera in your hands. I don't think (but I'm
not sure) that you can transfer the photo's automatically thru a USB cable
(Nikon CCP in my case).

3. how and with what software can you make an extended watermark, with your
name and phone number, for example? PS comes to mind, but I never used that
feature. Batch seems logical.

4. because the printed photo's have no information and you're probably
dealing with a lot (I expect a few hundred) of people, how do you set up an
easy system, to retrieve the photo for each person?

5. anybody have different idea's or aditions, welcome!

It looks like hawks enjoy a wide variety of colorings. I found this
picture:

http://content.ornith.cornell.edu/UEWebApp/images/VIR_020403_100003_L.jpg

on

http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/BirdGuide/Red-tailed_Hawk_dtl.html

and to my eye they look a lot like mine:

But the color pattern on the birds' chests is different.

I count four color stripes on the tail, not three.

Isn't the red part of the tail on the other side?

Light morph RedTail Hawks can have light grey to light reddish brown
tails with light contrasting stripes. The mature dark morphs will have
the obvious "red" tail.

How about a self portrait with no faces? You'd need to find some other way

I think you will need to find who makes the paper for Kirkland (a Costco
brand for those who aren't familiar with it) and work from there. At
onetime, as I recall, Ilford made some of their paper at one time, but
it might be from somewhere else now.

Generally start with the most closely matched profile that comes with your
printer.
In this case it would probably be Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy.
Be sure you understand Canon's procedures for color managed printing in
Photoshop.
If you are not satisfied with the results compared to using Canon's own
paper, and do not want to pay for a custom profile (which would be sort of
nuts for using Costco brand paper) then try to analyze what you think is off
about the Kirkland paper print.
You can create a test strip with adjustments to brightness (the most common
issue) or color (far more difficult to do by eyeballing) and save whatever
works for you as an action that you can apply just prior to printing.
Most modern consumer higher grade glossy papers tend to print similarly in
my experience using the canned profile for the printer manufacturer's
comparable paper stock.

Does anyone know of a flash that will work with this camera other than the
Olympus or Metz flash? I really don't want to spend that much on a flash
that I won't use that much, but I still would like a decent flash unit. Any
help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

Our church is doing a photo directory.

The picture quality of the last directory was about half that of the
pictures that I supplied. That is, the printed pictures look as if
they have the same resolution as my on-screen photos when I view them
at 50%.

In response to this concern, someone (presumably the publisher) wrote
that I should send pictures at 220 DPI.

Well . . . last time they were at 220 dpi, IF a printer's dot is the
same as a screen pixel. That is, a 4-inch-wide photo was 880 pixels
wide. Is this the right way to get 220 dots? If not, what is the
right way? If so, why was the print resolutino about half that of the
screen picture? Should I use a higher resolution?

Thank you for all advice.

Ted Shoemaker
