I myself was about to ask, was that football that Derby County were playing there?

perdu Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 Just a test entry, nothing exciting except it seems I might be making Win 10 do something I want instead of anything it likes TEST1 TEST2 Took these on my 'proper' Olympus camera the other week but Win decided to download only what IT LIKED, not these This one was stuck inside the Panasonic for two years After listening to my PC guru (down the pub, where else?) I tried to load these where I wanted them And it seems to have worked Now for the next time with live pictures... OK carry on 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyf117 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 The lower pic looks incomplete, Bill - that grey band across the bottom has a stepped top edge, suggesting it either didn't download or upload fully... I never 'download' pics from the camera using either its supplied or Win10's software - I always take the card out, slot it into the laptop or PC, and transfer the contents directly just like any file from an external drive/USB stick, etc... ....that doesn't work, of course, if pics are stored in the camera's internal memory - then it has to be plugged in to retrieve them!

perdu Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 I'm pretty certain that picture didnt download, just relieved IF it has finally exited the Lumix my PC doesn't have a card slot and both of my cameras use different sized cards anyway I will have to see if my little £1 card reader from Poundy will do the trick on both sizes, I am certainly not trusting my 10.1 tablet to handle the images With a tablet I have already had to reset to factory settings twice because of old age that way lies madness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 Oops Truly fed up with this, back burner time whilst I ponder damaged underfloor leg attachments and a catastrophic rotor failure It may be some time but hopefully the arrival this week of some nickel slide tube will allow a fix to occur as if by magic I hope... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 Thanks Alan, might be OK I found a short length of Holy Grail which will fit inside the rotor blade end For those who do not have the privilege Holy Grail is the really hard Slater's rod in hard red plastic Slater's no longer produce it, all you can get from them or even Evergreen is fairly soft rodding that has no basic strength Red Slater's is my Holy Grail and I have enough to fix the rotor blade, praise be! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
