I recently got my camera back from the repair center where they had replaced the shutter, upgraded the firmware and given the whole thing a service. This did, unfortunately, mean that a lot of my settings had been played with or reset. Since I couldn’t remember half of the settings I’d used I decided to just take the camera out for a day and fiddle.

The day in question was a friends birthday meal, followed by a quick drink in the pub, a film and, finally, a drink in the local. I finally realised why the camera completely blows some images when the flash is on (if the flash isn’t properly seated the TTL light doesn’t go on and the flash fires at full strength) which was useful.

It was unfortunate that the weather wasn’t too great and the walk to and from the restaurant was a little rushed as Long Melford has some wonderful photographic potential. The group of people I was with were also no overly keen on being photographed which made getting relaxed, natural photographs hard. That said, I did manage to get a good shot of almost everyone who attended plus a random macro of the table decoration.
