It does sound as though your camera is faulty, but I am saying this from the standpoint of a user, not a technician. Hopefully, it is something simple like a mis-aligned screen, but I would advise getting somebody qualified to look at it. John On Tue, 2 Mar 2004 12:36:47 US/Eastern, [EMAIL

Silly of me. Fag in the UK generally means cigarette, but I should have thought of the American meaning, especially given the subject under discussion. In fact, in Britain fag has a number of meanings. I can truthfully say I was a fag once without meaning what you might suppose I mean. John
