    Is it dementia??

    Taking a picture with my digital camera. Get all set up, turn on the camera, and there's a black viewfinder. Go through the menu, no help. Then, find out the lens cover is still on.

    I hate to be negative, but I doubt you'll remember how to get on the site for your answer.

        Take from one who knows, some things just begin to happen more often when you reach my level of maturity. That's the price you have to pay for all the wisdom and experience accumulated over the years.

        Stay young, regards, Steve
