Yes, I do have a backup camera just in case. It’s a fine camera, except that it lacks much of a zoom. I’ve decided to buy a new zoom camera as soon as I can find a dealer, and send the other one back to the factory under warranty when we get home.

Surprisingly, there’s an electronics store just a mile from our room in little Salemi that lists this camera (its successor, actually) on their website. We’ll hike over there this morning and hope for the best.

It does sound like a fault. The only other thing is you've perhaps accidentaly set the focusing to some weird mode.

A distressing day. I hope that was the last of your arrhythmia episodes for a while. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Glad that Rachael's fall wasn't more serious. And that your camera isn't focusing properly is a real bummer. No reserve camera hidden somewhere in the bottom of your bags?

The camera is only two months old, is still clean and unblemished and has had a pretty easy life so far. It’s a real mystery. It acts like it forgot how to pick a spot to focus on. The clearest shots are when the zoom is retracted and it’s focusing on the scene as a whole.

I’ve been using this camera (the current one and earlier ones of the same model) since it came out in 2016 and never seen this behavior so I’m thinking it’s defective.

I misread this at first and thought you were asking if the warranty was up, so I read up on it. I’ve only had it two months, and it’s still under warranty. I really think something’s wrong with the camera, so I think I’m going to just pack it away and send it in when we get back home.

No, but thanks for enlightening me. I’d never heard of tilt-shift photography and it was interesting reading up on it.

This almost looks like a tilt-shift photo. I don't suppose there's a setting for that on your camera, is there?

Sorry to hear about camera and garbage issues but really sorry about the arrhythmia’s. Please take care.

Oh poor Scott, poor Rachael! Sounds like a frustrating and uncomfortable day in so many respects.

How very frustrating for you. Sounds like Steve before he got the new camera. Is your 5 year time to get new camera time up?

Shame about the camera. Is it old and clapped out? It's strange how some photos are in focus. Is there any grease on the lens itself?

Hopefully your heart is OK and you feel well again soon.
