Thought of the Day - RACE MODE!??

The following is a personal rant. These happen seldomly but be warned, you may not like it.

A camera has several scene modes. These modes tell the camera what kind of picture you'll be taking. When a person takes a picture and it doesn't come out the way they thought it would, they instantly blame the camera.

AS IF IT'S A MAGIC BOX!?? THEY DEMAND PERFECTION WITH LITTLE EFFORT BY THE SO-CALLED PHOTOGRAPHER!? You know, you do have to try and think about the picture; give a little consideration to what the camera is trying to achieve.
If you don't like how you look in a photo, it's not because the camera sucks, IT'S BECAUSE YOU DON'T LOOK GOOD or IT WASN'T TAKEN WELL!!!

If you make a mistake, or worse you put the wrong setting, you cannot blame the camera for it. IT'S JUST A MACHINE.

IF YOU GET PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE, YOU CANNOT SAY TO HIM: "SORRY OFFICER, I DIDN'T MEAN TO BE GOING SO FAST. I HAD MY CAR SET TO RACE MODE!!!"

THINK A LITTLE, PEOPLE, THINK!

  2. Well look at the bright side of things. In this consumer oriented world cameras are starting to become a lot more intelligent.

    Face/smile/scene/light/movement recognition combined with Variable ISO exposures will give them their WYSIWYG results.

    Blah! Some even have small smile modification to some faces (sony cybershots).

    Missed opportunities and failed scene mode stories are soooo 2006. Welcome to 2009, where intelligent auto is à la mode
