Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2005WAH! I broke my camera!
I accidentally pushed my camera off a table onto the floor, and now the hatch of the battery compartment doesn't close properly. No more kitty pictures for a while. I can't afford to buy a new one right now (I have to pay a lot of back taxes in December, and Frank's recent vet bills drained my reserves), and we don't give expensive presents at Yule in my family. Augh, how will I survive not being able to show off my babies to the whole world? :oP  SignatureMarina, Frank, Miranda and Caliban.

I can't have nothing! >I accidentally pushed my camera off a table onto the floor, and now the >hatch of the battery compartment doesn't close properly. > Augh, how will I survive not being able to show off my babies to the > whole world? :oP Spoken like a true ailurophile exhibitionist :-) Glad your priorities are right. Depending on the layout it might be possible to keep the hatch shut with say a tightly-wrapped rubber band round the camera (it would work on my Olympus). See what you can do, we mustn't be deprived for long.

I don't know, it has a very strong spring that pushes it open once you unlatch the hatch, and it doesn't latch properly any more, so the spring pushes it open, and it's in the bottom of the camera, so the batteries push at the hatch, too. I'll try rubber band and tape, but I doubt they'll be strong enough to keep it shut. SignatureMarina, Frank, Miranda and Caliban.

Okay, I left the camera on the table, but she thought it would be fun to snag the strap. SMACK, it hit the tile floor. The battery case no longer works, nor does the macro setting. I have to hold in the battery compartment to take a pic. The camera is $400, I need to get it serviced. What are you going to do, buy a new one? I've been living with this for almost a year now. I still take pix, I just hold down the battery compartment. kili > I don't know, it has a very strong spring that pushes it open once you > unlatch the hatch, and it doesn't latch properly any more, so the spring > pushes it open, and it's in the bottom of the camera, so the batteries > push at the hatch, too.

Joyce > Augh, how will I survive not being able to show off my babies to > the whole world? :oP Arggghhhh!!! How will we survive without them?!? Bridget - who loves those piccies damn. Hope you can get one at a discount for Christmas! We need out Cal and Mir-mir fix, and, of course, Unca Frankie!

No more kitty [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >Augh, how will I survive not being able to show off my babies to the whole >world? :oP If it can't be repaired, why not try "taping" it shut (possibly with some duct tape)? Turn a small edge under first so you will have an edge to grasp when you need to remove the tape to replace batteries.

Could you tape down the cover? Purrs that you find a solution.

That's terrible. I always love to see the photos you send although I often don't say so. Take it as read. I don't suppose it would be possible to get it repaired? It would be a whole lot cheaper than buying another one if you could.

I'm still not very good at getting the hang of it yet. I take pics and the camera doesn't.. I forget to move all the thingies on it from upload to computer to take a photo. Kitty is in sleep mode. Now it is cold she rarely rises from being unconscious in front of the fire except for checking out her food bowl and toilet duties outside. Boyfriend is also in more than usual. He does accompany me both in the morning and evening to do chicken chores and it amuses me to see him pushing his cheek against almost everything to leave his scent for his territory while he is "helping" me. He's using his bed again under the table that he stopped using because "I SAW HIM IN IT" The cold weather has completely changed his mind somehow ;-) Tweed Best wishes for you to find a way to close the battery compartment - we need those pics!

I hope you can find out how to have it repaired soon. In the meantime, if you invest in a few one-time-use cameras, maybe you can have the pics put on a CD when you have them developed? That's not quite as convenient as "take the picture now, upload it to the 'net a moment later", but it could be a good stopgap solution. Purrs for you to be able to locate a repair shop ASAP.

I've been using those one-use cameras. Theresa Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com Make Levees, Not War |
