Best idea I saw. Yes, I'm using the Canon kit lenses and they do not have a focus indicator.

I was in dire need of this method when taking some shots of lightning. I don't have a tripod, but was able to eventually focus and it was rolling so hard that I wound up with a few good shots with the right settings at 1/100 shutter speed in continuous drive.

Thanks, I had no idea there was an infinity mark.

How does one manually focus to infinity when it's really dark out and you can't see the subject?

I've gotten lucky with a far off street light in the distance, but would like to know how to do this when I don't have that fortune.

I didn't see in the article where it stated specifically either model was released. Only the same generic "some phones" statement I've seen elsewhere.

The correct term is pseudo science

Some still do in the fine print. Verizon is one (as of one year ago).

Vaguely interesting headline made me click on the comments, and WOW! You sound like a giant bag of dicks. I thought you wanted people to listen to you.

Count me out.

The industry calls this "strain relief." Not sure about these cords, but it's usually shrink tubing.

Isn't this a story from that douchebag from "I hope they serve beer in hell?"

ThatJesterJeff · 1 month

That is the creepiest mascot I've ever seen. It looks like it's coming to brick my phone, eat my baby, and enslave me to work in the zinc mines for its heartless robot king.

But I don't have a better suggestion, so I guess it's okay.

LPT: make some nachos at home with legit cheese and avoid the 7-11 yellow diarrhea product. Seriously, you put that in your mouth?

District 9 was a scifi movie with apartheid themes and an iconic image from this film was the "no aliens" signs throughout the segregated city.

The Hunger Games is a scifi dystopian future book/movie where a country called Panem, made up of 12 specialized districts, is ruled by a ruthless Capitol. Each district has their own unique main industry (eg 12 is made up of coal miners).

Tldr; there is no joke. Only vague amusement.

You should be ashamed and embarrassed to post this here.

It's okay, according to their logic, accidentally swallowing some listerine will cause a spontaneous abortion.

Negative ions, the same found in vaccines. Also, super high frequencies just beat up your natural essence.

Duh.

I've heard that you shouldn't fire an old camera that hasn't been used in a while, as it has the potential to damage some of the mechanisms if not properly lubed.

True?

If anything, most times you hear "overengineered," the speaker really means "underengineered."

I tend to think of myself as "anti-suck." Carraba's is a chain and they're awesome, Olive Garden sells terrible food.

Because those that believe enforce their views through laws that follow a fictional book over everyone.

As an atheist, I don't care what you think, but keep it to yourself and never push it on others through discrimination and law.
