I don’t take pictures..but I could not have gotten one...The little ones are here briefly...I try not to move inside the house lest they see movement...but they race away anyway...
My daughter has had problems with her laptop in and out the shop for months...My almost identical laptop hums along mostly. I have managed to use restore when it does have glitches.
I see you are also having big computer problems at work..BUMMER!
I was having hardware problems at home..
The only way you could get pics would be from camera on a tripod and a remote release.
Don’t know if they make those things for digitals.
All my previous experience was with SLR’s.
