graeme_7799, the camera has full manual controls allowing you to adjust aperture, shutter speed and so on. You have to use a tripod to take shots like that or they'll be blurry as hell. You sit the camera somewhere looking in the direction of passing cars, set the shutter speed to 15 seconds and press the shutter release button. The camera takes a 15 second exposure which isn't enough to capture much light from the road as it's very dark, but car lights are captured well and leave trails across the image.

I'm gonna have to remember to take my camera up my girlfriend's house. She as a beautiful cat which has been in some very very cuts poses, perfect for picture taking, but I never have my camera at the right time. Maybe I should invest in a compartment inside my leg or arm for storing my camera and I will never be without it.

if ya got a case for you camera, just wear it like a fanny pack and you'll always be prepared

*note to self: take own advice!*

your light pix are really neat...i need to try that

Can I make a request in here? :)

Could someone take a couple pics for me? I want one of a beach. No people, just the sand and water, preferably a clear sunny day. I also wanted one of the sky. A simple average sky pic, clear, can be a little cloudy, sun can be in it if it doesn't flare or blind. :rolleyes:

I'd like them at 1024x768 but they can be bigger. :happy:

Thanks! :D

My tripod just broke. The cheap plastic bendy leg free tripod that they sent with my camera just snapped as I tried to uncrew it, and the thread is still left inside the camea and I can't get it out. Grrr

you need to see if you can get someone who knows what they are doing to drill it out for you...it should be possible to get it out w/o damaging the threads....maybe take it back to the shop from where you got it

good luck

I managed to get it out. There was a small ridge on the piece of plastic which snapped off and I used a small allen key to turn it out. Only problem is now I don't have a tripod :( I'll be lost without that. I'll have to buy myself a new one sometime. I liked the one I had though; a small one with bendy legs so it's easy to point at any position and I can bend it in half and slip it in my pocket to take it anywhere.

*WHEW* i'm glad you you got it fixed (Y)

i don't know if you have access to walmart in england, but i ordered this adorable little tripod from them online. my s400 has the mtg hole off center so i have to make sure that the camera is balanced off the middle tripod leg...but it's not that difficult to set it up that way. best buy (if you have access to it) also has a mini available but what i saw was like 2x the price of the walmart one.

good luck!

Everyone with a Camra phone post all you pics Here.....I just got mine Friday...LGX6000

http://getitnow.vzwshop.com/html/imgs/phon...G_VX6000_lg.jpg

I got the same phone :). Please tell me, did it come with a USB cable? or did you have to email the photo to yourself? because I didn't get any USB cable :(

Thanks.

BTW, is that a pic of the NYC subway ;)

I wanna get one so bad, too bad I live in the boondocks and GSM doens't work at my house...

It works a couple miles away though...

what service do you have? the LG6000 is on verizon (CDMA), Sprint (CDMA) has camera fones, Alltel (CDMA) has an LG cam fon now also. so, you dont need GSM to get a cam fone....

Thank graeme, I'm still enjoying my new toy.... lol... I just start learning how to take a good picture about a month ago from those online forums. I never thought I would enjoy taking pictures before. ;)

Here is an action shot I took when my friend practised his swing. You can see the golf ball is still floating in the air.

    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors

      That made me laugh! Thank you
    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft's aggressive roadmap to deliver a commercial quantum supercomputer by 2029 has now hit a bit of a snag, and it's not because of a complex sub-zero dilution refrigerator, but rather because of a few lines of basic Python code. A new critique published in the scientific journal Nature argues that simple software errors effectively manufactured the breakthrough that Microsoft's foundational research claimed back in 2025 into Majorana-based topological qubits. Topological quantum computing, the path that Microsoft chose for its research, relies on creating and controlling "Majorana zero modes." These are exotic quasiparticles that theoretically offer vastly superior error resistance compared to the highly sensitive superconducting qubits currently being championed by rivals like Google and IBM. However, physically proving you have created these particles requires sifting through massive amounts of complex electrical conductance data to isolate a specific "topological gap." Because of the sheer volume of data, physicists rely heavily on custom software pipelines to process the results. This is where the Python scripts come in. Now, according to the critique, Microsoft’s data processing software contained fundamental programming errors that ultimately skewed the published results. By mishandling data arrays or deploying incorrect logic within the Python script, the software supposedly discarded "noisy" or contradictory data. Which is why it only highlighted the specific electrical measurements that supported the topological-gap claim. The researchers behind the critique argued that this makes the findings invalid, suggesting the heralded "quantum leap" was actually a false positive generated by bad code and not a product of groundbreaking physics. However, Microsoft is pushing back hard against these allegations. The Redmond giant has formally rejected the criticism, saying that it's just a minor anomaly rather than a fatal flaw. According to the company, while there may have been a minor oversight in the data parsing scripts, it does not alter the fundamental reality of their physical experiment. Just weeks ago, Microsoft unveiled the Majorana 2 quantum processor, a milestone so significant that the company boldly accelerated its timeline for a commercial quantum supercomputer from 2035 down to 2029. But the new software allegations reopen an old wound. Microsoft's quantum division faced a remarkably similar crisis when a landmark 2018 paper on Majorana particles was famously retracted in 2021 after independent physicists discovered the data had been inappropriately cropped. That historical baggage makes the current Python-related allegations particularly sensitive. If the foundational math and data processing for the 2025 breakthrough are genuinely flawed, the highly anticipated 2029 commercial timeline could easily be delayed or, worse, cancelled.

      Because of what they have done to VMware I will never buy anything Broadcom again.
    • AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs by Taras Buria Earlier this week, AMD released an important graphics driver update. Version 26.6.2 brought AMD FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen Radeon lineup, the RX 7000 series, giving users better upscaling tech that was previously locked to the newest GPUs. However, the driver turned out to be a little buggy, with users reporting installation issues on systems still running Windows 10. AMD quickly acknowledged the bug and today released a hotfix to resolve the problem. The AMD 26.6.3 Hotfix update is now available for download from the official website. Given that it is a hotfix release, it has only one change in its release notes: AMD announced the update on its official X account and added that a WHQL driver update with the necessary fixes would be released next week. Meanwhile, users can apply the hotfix or roll back to the previous driver using the official AMD Cleanup Utility. You can download AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.3 Hotfix Preview Driver from the official website here. It is compatible with all currently supported graphics cards and 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • Windows 11 is now five years old

      By Nick H. · Posted

      With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11! I guess we all need a good laugh now and again...
