He's upset, thinks I dropped the camera and said it worked fine when he last used it. Thing is I remember when he showed me the camera, he took a pic and it appeared a sa blank white photo on the preview screen. But he switched it off and I thought nothing of it as i'm not camera savvy.I've explained to him everything i've tried (including switching lenses). He just come back to me saying he tried it last night and it was all fine. I asked him if he hooked it up to his PC to check the photos but all he said was he used it the other night and all the pictures were fine.The image was set to JPEG when I got it so I don't think I can ask for the file(s) of pics he took to check the .exif info. Also he wiped the card before giving it to me.Now i'm thinking i'm doing something wrong? But what? A factory reset and switching lenses etc should show if anything other than the camera was to blame? Was tempted to pop into the local camera shop Jessops to ask them. Thought i'd ring first and seems they've closed down...this really isn't a smooth introduction to the world of photography I must say. I think i'm more annoyed that my friend is upset with me and doesn't seem to believe I did nothing to the camera whatsoever. It was given to me in green auto mode and never once took a proper picture.I know how to set manual and the ISO but can you explain the f11, 1/500s and then f5.6, 1/4000UPDATE - He said he'd take it on Monday, take it home, open it up have a look etc. So at least he's willing to help. I'm hoping i'm just overlooking something. That's why I'm really trying to get as much info or help as possible before Monday.Thanks,Ed</blockquote>
