How does a camera die?

08 Nov

Lately, I notice that my prosumer Konica-Minolta Z3 seems sickly.  It has lots of noise when taken in dark places.  Its colours look weird in normal pictures.  And macro shots sort of have wrong colour tone.  I love this camera for its kick-ass super-macro shots.  Something my DSLR can’t do.

I suppose it is slowly giving up living.  Hehehe.  It has been sent twice to the repair shop when it was under warranty because my kid and I dropped it twice, on separate occassion.  Now that warranty is over and Konica no longer sells cameras (but its service unit still around), I suppose I can only wait for a slow death, or theft.  Which ever comes first.

Took the above photo with shutter priority on my Z3 yesterday.  Data here:

Camera: Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z3
Exposure: 0.6 sec (3/5)
Aperture: f/6.3
Focal Length: 5.9 mm
ISO Speed: 50
Exposure Bias: -7/10 EV
