Replies drifting Posted at 4:56 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 Its an SLR with auto exposure. The camera was doing what its supposed to. There was probably little light available, so it was doing a longer exposure. There is nothing wrong with the camera. There is something wrong with the user though. If you dont know how to use an SLR, go buy yourself a fucking point and shoot! They are like $10! silverbullets Posted at 4:52 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 olympus cameras are shit. just like kodak cameras are. it will coast more to get it fixed than it would to get a new higher quality one. Stand Up Posted at 4:49 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 Best thing to do is to take it to a store so they can repair it. xxiloveyouohh Posted at 4:49 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 its probably just old and doesnt have much life left init. Jman19 Posted at 4:48 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 The gorilla was too ugly to have its picture taken, obviously. All 5 previous replies displayed.
