How does a camera die?
by Lilian ·
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:

| Exposure: | 0.6 sec (3/5) |
| Aperture: | f/6.3 |
| Focal Length: | 5.9 mm |
| ISO Speed: | 50 |
