Google "Samsung a20 keyboard problem" there are several responses that instruct you how to reset the keyboard. Worth a look. Good luck.

Shot Mesa Verde three years ago. Arrived 45 minutes before sunrise. Mine was the 23'rd camera and tripod. I set up on the far right end of the arch. Still got some good shots. Tip: just minutes after sunrise most of the photographers start to leave. Move right in you'll get some great shots. Shot Antelope Canyon 4 years ago. Huge crowds. Our guide helped those w/ tripods secure enough room. It wasn't easy. My articulating view screen was invaluable. Tip: This is a very very uniquely beautiful location. Take the beauty in, stay calm and try to be patient with the crowd. You'll get some great shots.

Mr. and Mrs. Wong named there son "White". Just to prove that two Wongs can make a white.

Five out of four people have trouble with fractions.

Paranoid people scare me.

A very, very simple explanation, as I understand it. Consider a row of 100 varying shades of gray pixels in an image. Tiff compression applies the same amount of memory to each pixel regardless of the color. JPEG compression will compare side-by-side pixels. If ten gray pixels in a row are the same the first of the ten pixels is saved to memory but the following nine are only referenced to the first pixel. If the jpg image is saved with different software it may consider only 7 of the 10 mentioned gray pixels are the same and by doing so the size of the saved image will change. I know it's way more complex than this.

Yes, save the cropped portion with a new name, then do an Edit ---> Step Backward, to bring back the pre cropped image.

A moonbow is a rare natural atmospheric phenomena that occurs when the Moon's light is reflected and refracted off water droplets in the air. They happen all over the world.

Just take a quick shot of the subject(s) you wish to return to. Then compare the time stamp that's part of the image data with the same time your GPS track. Easy-pesy.

"I would love a “crop to frame” function. "

Not exactly what you want but try.... positioning image in frame, use selection tool and select across the entire frame, then click Image ---> Crop.

If more and more people using camera phones means I have fewer DSLR users taking quality images to compete against I welcome them whole heartedly.

When we group travel the tripod only joins us if we have significant free time. It stays in the hotel when out with the group. I scout for shot locations while out with the group. Particularly early morning and evening sites. I'll return on my own with the tripod.

Simple, list those features most important to you. Choose the camera which best performs those features.

Had any luck with photos of ladies?

I'm a landscape shooter that has lived near Mt Rainier for 69 years. I suggest a one day loop trip around Mt Rainier. It includes great views and short walks/hikes. Enter the park on it's east side. Drive through the small town of Enumclaw. There you'll find grocery stores for snacks and water. There is also a US Forest Service Ranger Station. A great place to get any questions answered, maps, books and any permits for forest service areas outside the nat'l park. First place in the park will be Sunrise. This is the second major tourist area in the park. Try to get there near sunrise. You won't be sorry. Stop at Sunrise Point. Often, with binoculars, mountain goat and elk can se seen below the ridge line on the north side. At Sunrise take the short hike up the ridge. You don't have to go all the way up to get stunning views. I think Sunrise is the most beautiful place in the state. Next stop, Tipso Lake. Do the easy hike around the lake. If calm, photo the mtn reflection. Next stop, Grove of the Patriarch. An easy walk through a grove of ancient Douglas fir trees. Next stop, Reflection Lake. This is the iconic reflection view location for Rainier. Next Paradise, the number one tourist location in the park. Here there is a maze of hiking trails to chose from. On the way out of the park don't miss Nardia Falls and Christine Falls. Very short walks for both. We enjoy eating at the Copper Creek Inn restaurant a couple of miles outside the park.

For Seattle do Kerry Park near sunset as well as after dark. I also suggest an evening ferry ride to Bainbridge Island. View Seattle's waterfront at sunset, have dinner in a Bainbridge Island restaurant then view the waterfront after dark on the ferry ride back. If you are in a downtown hotel you may opt to walk on the ferry. If you don't do a ferry ride the city view from Alki Point is just as stunning and you can use your tripod.

For the Olympic coast I recommend seeing one or more of these beaches. Near La Push and Forks...Rialto, parking at the beach. Second Beach, 1/4 mile hike to beach. At Kalaloch... Ruby, 1/4 mile hike to beach. There are several other accessible beaches in this area as well as the Hoh River Trail. This is a long flat trail but can be experienced doing just the first mile or two. I would skip it if the preceding weeks of weather have been hot and dry. The lush ferns and mosses can lose their lushness. If the weather has been right don't miss it. Don't forget your polarizer if the sun is shining through the canopy of the trees.

September is usually a good month for weather out here. Have Fun.

A TV with a USB port, Yes. The Slide Show feature is built into the TV's menu system, not an app. I would google the TV's user manual, if you don't have one, to make sure it has the USB slide show feature.
