[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 556312, member: 6277"] I should have included my cure for my senior moments. I have a full checklist for when I put my camera back in the case. 1. Remove SD card for transfer. Door stays one till the card goes back in. Only after photos have been transferred and checked do I format the SD card in the camera. 2. Replace battery with fresh one. Door stays open till new battery in in place. Fresh batteries alway have plastic cap on them and depleted batteries in the case do not. 3. Check to make sure the BKT is off, Exposure compensation is set to zero, ISO set to AUTO 100 min 12,500 max, Mode set to Program. This way when bigfoot or space aliens show up in my back yard I am ready to pick up the camera and shoot. I don't have to worry about how the camera is set. When I go out to shoot I have time to then adjust whatever I need or want to. Before I go out shooting I check to make sure I have a fresh battery in the camera and that all the batteries on charge are in the case ready to go. I check to make sure I have transfered all photos and formated the SD card. I check to make sure all the equipment I need for the day is loaded in the backpack or case I plan to use that day. I carry everything every time because when I don't I always need the one thing I left at home. [/QUOTE]
