bizarre

it may look as if I had been drinking one too many glasses of wine, but the truth is a lot stranger than that...the other night the camera threw a bizarre electronic fit..as soon as it was turned on, it would immediately take a picture by itself, and then nothing would work, the control buttons would not respond, and the LED screen remained totally black...this happened several times, and I then set it aside and grabbed the other SLR for a photo of this old friend...now the first camera works fine again, and reveals a few disorienting scenes captured during it`s little spasm of independent operation

What a fantastic oppurtunity... let the camera take shot by itself sometimes, it's great! v

That is very strange, but you got a creative shot out of it.

A camera with a mind of it's own, cool, hope it remains in good working order.

A really sharp "dream" and even the IS was working perfectly... ;-) A nice and memorable document of this incident!
