Oh! That part of the camera, too, isn't broken.

Remember the complaint about the card-reading performance in the first message?

Back in thehours of the first message, I thought the poster's camera was broken. After all, look at everything that was wrong.

Well.

That book that comes with the camera... it has a page 48 in it.

It took me under two minutes to find the manual online, download it, look in the index, find the reference to formatting the card, and move to the page.

Here are magic words on that page: "... format the card with the camera."

So the good news is that the complaint about poor card performance turns out to be unwarranted. Wonder of wonders, the camera is not broken.

Just the ability to look in a manual and read.

So now we've seen the complaints about autofocus requiring menus, lens creep, and card speed are all NOT the fault of the camera.
