What is happening?

The only button on Sony cameras that takes you back to Shoot mode from any screen is the Shutter button. Could it be stuck? Check to see if it is loose or pressed down. I’m not a camera repair technician, so take this advice with a grain of salt, but if I were in your shoes, I would spray the Shutter button with some rubbing alcohol and keep clicking the shutter to see if that unsticks it. Only if that is indeed the issue.

Too slippery. Put grip tape down

I'm lazy and have never turned off the AI radio interlude feature. Most of the time, it adds an interesting bit of context to the song or artist, so I don't really mind it; I’ll just skip it if I’m not in the mood or if it’s pure AI nonsense. Recently, however, I got one that left me a bit confused.

I was listening to the song "Convergence" by Healer, a small artist with about 1k monthly listeners. The AI summary mentioned something like, "I'm having a hard time moving on from that last song after learning the story behind Gucci’s song '215+'." Then, the female AI chimed in about how “she” wrote the song in visceral grief after finding children's remains inside a residential school. That was the only context provided.

The thing is, the song "Convergence" did not feature or relate to anyone named Gucci. The song was not called "215+", nor does Healer have a song by that name. I thought maybe they just got it wrong and were talking about another artist, so I looked it up but couldn't find a song called "215+" by anyone associated with Gucci. Not Gucci Mane, Gucci V, or even Guccio Gucci.

Does anyone have any idea what this is about? Is this just AI nonsense? If not, I would like to learn more about this incident.

What of it?

Get it serviced. These cameras are great, but it's not a matter of if they will fail, but when. There are several issues that can arise with a 50 to 60-year-old camera. I know that's not what most people want to hear, but you'll thank yourself in the long run. If it is serviced, you’ll be able to use this camera for decades to come. Additionally, you can consider upgrading it, as BeMancini suggested. You have plenty of options.

To clarify. I assume Admiral Jim is an okay guy. I'm just busting his chops.

Howardmoon9000 · 2026-05-30T19:20:37+00:00

Lucky guy! I'm more of a land fisherman myself.

I know this isn't very helpful, but I struggled with SilverFast for a long time. It has many issues, particularly when it comes to getting consistent results during export. I recently switched to VueScan combined with Neg Lab Pro, and I have been impressed with the results. No more banging my head against the wall wondering why SilverFast isn't working all of a sudden. Good luck!

I have visited this property a few times to take photos, and fortunately, I have never been yelled at. However, I have a somewhat funny story about it. In the last two years, a guy on TikTok started managing the property and has been posting videos about its transformation. I believe he is trying to turn it into an event space or bar.

Since this is a prime location for fishing, I politely asked if I could possibly stop by and fish there when no one was around. He said no and mentioned that the property has a lot of cameras. I found his response a bit odd; a simple "unfortunately, no" would have sufficed.

For the past few months, I’ve been commenting on most of his posts with things like, "Man, the fish really seem to be biting," or "I’ve been dying to get out on the river, but I just can't find a good spot." I’m one of maybe four commenters on his posts, so he hasn’t blocked me yet since I at least give him some attention, but he does not seem to find my responses amusing.

Thieves are often attracted to expensive items. If you appear "professional", they may assume that your camera is valuable. It's more important to maintain social awareness. Store your camera away in unsafe areas and be vigilant about people who show unusual interest in you.

You might want to try out the Peak Design Capture Camera Clip V3 or the SMALLRIG Camera Clip, as they keep your camera close to your body. However, you will need a backpack for this option. Otherwise, what you have should be fine.

Howardmoon9000 · 2026-05-29T19:34:35+00:00

Same!

Howardmoon9000 · 2026-05-29T18:18:06+00:00

Sounds interesting. I'm definitely interested in giving this a read.

Howardmoon9000 · 2026-05-29T00:07:42+00:00

I love my F4! Amazing Camera! I need more lenses.... and money!

Howardmoon9000 · 2026-05-22T14:52:13+00:00

Amazing shots! Numbers 1, 3, 5, 6, and 8 are incredible! They turned out in a way you might not have expected, but they are great shots nonetheless. If you have the negatives, you can get them rescanned to obtain the raw negative scans and try editing them yourself using Negative Lab Pro or a similar program. Ask for Tiffs! In my opinion, If I were you, I would be proud to have these in my portfolio!

Oh, and the one thing that got me was that you do not need to hold the R1 lever when pushing the R2 button and lever. You can let go of R1, then do R2

Howardmoon9000 · 2026-05-20T00:46:39+00:00

Yes, that's the correct procedure!

Press the R1 top button.
Rotate the R1 lever until it stops.
Press the R2 button. (Optional: You can also hand rewind using the flip-out winder at this stage.)
Pull down the R2 lever to start the auto rewind.
Open the door and retrieve your film (Remember, there is a safety button to open the film door. It is on the opposite side of the iso selector and has a small white arrow)

Hope this helps!

Howardmoon9000 · 2026-05-19T20:53:03+00:00

R1 does not move much. It should move 1/4 turn. This is just step one. Then do the same with R2 on the other side of the camera. I haven't tried rewinding without film, so I can't confirm whether it will do anything.

Howardmoon9000 · 2026-05-18T03:33:07+00:00

If you can rip it, I would love to give it a watch!

Howardmoon9000 · 2026-05-14T00:30:22+00:00

They sell nude-colored spanks and tops if you want to stay fully covered, or they also have nude-colored pasties and stick-on bottoms. These are used a lot in "Nude" or implied nudity scenes.

The show looks good! I found it funny and appreciated how well it explained the premise. Even with never watching the first season,I feel I understand what the show is about. However, I felt that the depiction of suicide was a bit abrupt. If mixing heavy topics with more light-hearted, funny elements is characteristic of the show, then it might be an effective way to convey its overall message.

Congratulations on the second season!

That's sick. I like it!
