just found something interesting. have been getting E:62:10 flashing on screen for months. hasn't shown up on pics and couldn't get rid of it so just ignored the annoyance. finally researched it and seems it has something to do with stabilization. hmmmmm. i have no extended warranty or service agreements. will have to look up paperwork to see how long initial warranty lasts.

HOLY COW! James, how did you do that?! Those pics are awesome! How did you get so close, especially to the eagle and the owl? And I can NEVER get a pic of a titmouse, they are so blasted flighty. It is obvious I have a LOT to learn. No, I do not know how to do anything manually and there is no-one I know to teach me. Are there classes, on-line, etc. (that don't cost and arm and a leg - I'm not looking to go pro)? I can go to our lower-town art studio and check them out, I guess. I have downloaded several tutorials on aperture, shutter speed, ISO; the volume of information makes my head spin. I am a visual learner, I learn by doing, not reading.
My dad was a professional photographer in college and in the army but he has been gone to Jesus for several years. It was getting his camera that renewed my love for photography. He had a 35mm that I took the lens from and put on a digital camera. I used it for about a year and then traded up to the Cybershot for the zoom feature. I gave the camera to my son and his wife when they got married because they did not have one.
So far, I have taken pics just for the joy of it, I tell people it's cheaper than paying someone $100 and hour to lay on a couch and it's like spending time with Daddy. But some of the pics are really good, and I think I could get better if I had some schooling. I don't like doing anything half-a*#$S...lol. will get some pics together to share with you in next reply.

tried that (the "selfie stick" thing) but found it awkward to use. i also do a lot of shots from my vehicle window since hip/knee issues keep me from being able to walk for long distances or periods of time. the monopod def does not work there...lol. will try the ball head though, hadn't thought of that. thanks :)

Hi all! my name is carol, i live in extreme southern illinois, and i am a hobby photographer. i purchased the Sony cybershot DSC-HX300 about two years ago for its zoom feature. i'm not good with bells and whistles and have probably not begun to tap this camera's potential. that being said, i take mostly nature pics and at max zoom i find it very difficult to hold camera steady. i am thinking of trading up to heavier camera with removable lens but don't want to lose the flip screen and resolution. I purchased a rather expensive polarized uv lens, but lost it the first time i used it because i probably screwed it on wrong. cybershot has VERY thin attachment surface. i want a lens with more grooves for attachments to stay more securely in place.
it is impossible for me to get a "clean" shot of anything at max zoom because of the light-weight issue and some vision problems. i have tried "selfie stick(?)"(which i did not like) and stabilizing camera on flat surface, but these options are not always available and i am not always successful regardless. it is not uncommon for me to just point in general direction of object, say a quick prayer, and shoot. not a great method, but one that has actually worked on a few occasions
i do have a few nice pics, but know that i am not likely to catch sell-able quality photos if i cannot resolve this issue. also, just curious, where does one sell pics?
any upgrade suggestions/advice/etc would be VERY much appreciated.
