groomer Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 since i went in the gaspesie park 3 weeks ago ,i have a few stripes/lines like this time to time on some of my pics.i took 216 pics and about 10/12 pics are like that. could this be a shutter problem ,dust inside the camera or cold temps ??in the gaspesie park if i remember well ,it was -12c/-15c and windy on top .this week when i hit that big snow cloud when i came back from my 4 wheelers ride ,it was cold and some of my pics still have those stripes/lines on the pics. too many pics taken with my camera ????must be over 30,000 in almost 5 years . any ideas ??? thanks !! groomer !!!

rob Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 What kind of camera? I would try downloading and installing the latest firmware for the camera, many times that will fix problems like that. Good luck! Edit: Just as a sidenote, we picked up a few inches of snow in the last several days. I imagine it will be heading your way next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Looking at the Sony website I don't see any firmware available for the dsc h1, only the h2. It could just be with over 30,000 pictures, the shutter is giving out. It might be time for an upgrade. Either way, good luck. We don't want to miss any of your great pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groomer Posted April 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 thanks for the extra info.i thought about that ,30 ,000 + pics .could be the problems.back in the mid 80 ' s ,i had bought a minolta maxxum 7000 (35 mm )and at that time i was taking tons of pics of mx racing and one day all my pics were ugly or completely black if i can say that .too much dust inside the camera.the guy where i had bought it, asked me :what are doing with your camera ??? ha !! ha !!lot of dust at mx races. sent it to quebec city for a ''clean up '' and never i ll do that again .next time i ll throw my camera to the garbage.they charged me 270.00$ for the clean up and i had paid 440.00$ with a 50mm lens .but i liked that camera . bought another minolta later ,si 500 i think ,something like that and one day went grooming and right at the bottom of last hill before arriving at the st fidele cb ,camera fell on the floor of the machine .my 200 mm lens split in 2 pieces.geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzz !! i was mad !! well ,since about 2 years i m thinking about buying a new one almost everyday,but it s a lot of $$$$$$$$ ,ha !! ha !!about 2 years ago ,my brother bought a nikon d-90 .at first glance ,liked the camera .must decide before starting working in mid may. merci !! jean-guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groomer Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 hi all !! i think it s about time for me to give you a reply.rfm ,saw your post late sunday night.since i read all your posts i had hard time to sleep !! ha !! ha !! well for sure i ll dissapoint all you ,but it s not my personnality/mentality to accept free money like that and this is not the first time it happen in my life .i refused freebies if i can say that, up to 1000.00$$ one thing i hate in life ,peoples who use their ''big mouth ''to receive ''free money '',tips or freebies for whatever they do as a job .i ll know a lot of them and stay away from them because they make me sick.those who take advantage of peoples who are wealthy financially.they are all ''crooks '' to me because they use their big mouth. so ,offering me money for a new camera , im not that kind of person.i don t post my pics here to be world famous or to receive money.photography is my only hobby beside drinking beers and wine during the summer ha !! ha !!so ,very glad you enjoy my pics but this is no reasons for me to accept ''your money''. be sure of that i won t have regrets ,i know myself enough.i consider myself a generous person (without swelling my head ),but i m not the one to abuse from your generosity.like i said , i rather give than receive .i ve been like that for yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaars!! thanks to coldsmoke for the starting the offer (right word ??? )and the others ,but sadly you ''knocked ', at the wrong door.i m not that kind of person to receive ''free money ''like that. just being a member here on qr and having the chance to ''chat '' with great peoples from the usa,canada and a few quebecers worth a lot of money for me !!and rob giving me the chance to post tons of pics............priceless to me!! so ,i hope i used the right words in my post without hurting members ,but my ''final answer ''still no .when i read coldsmoke post about the 'offer '' ,i knew already what was my answer. thank you all for you generosity !!just hoping my post won t hurt our friendship on qr. sincerly !! jean-guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
