Thread: Cheap P & S

The photos shouldn't be gone but the iPhoto library is most likely corrupted.

Link on how to repair: iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library

Could somebody nearby please go give Derek a beer
Thank you. That worked and was surprisingly easy. They are all back, think I'll go wake the kids up now so we can finish going through them.

iPhoto really sucks for picture management. I import the pics onto the computer first then import into iphoto.

If they go missing search all the folders in the pics folder>iphoto. In fact do this anyway, you'll get a shock at the amount of crap thats created.

i download from the camera via the computer to a portable hard drive and take all my photos with the max mp i can

Little sony has worked a treat, some very good photos with it.
However today went surfing with the kids, I was taking photos, and never went too deep that I couldn't stand, the camera would never have been more than half a meter deep.
It stopped working.
Got out and dried myself and camera and then opened it up, it was very wet in the battery/SD card area.Not happy, I will try return it tomorrow. It's supposed to be waterproof to 5m

That's pretty bad luck hopefully they don't give you the run around!



I've had mine down to 5m without a problem, but after I always have to clean all the seals as they get grit in them stops them from sealing properly

There's a difference between static proofness and dynamic pressure.

Put it in a pressure pot and it'll stand 5m of pressure. But take it down 5m and move it rapidly and you'll exceed the ambient pressure against the seals.

I suffer the same thing with our Olympus. Dries out ok though. You do need to be careful of the operation buttons, as these lead to working areas leaks are bad Mmmmkay. hey will stand pressure probably exceeding the rating but if the buttons are pressed it can fail.
