Nah it's a Panasonic Lumix FX-520 compact. Not so simple!

Are you going to patent this technique. To be scientifically accurate you will need to reproduce the experiment a couple of times. Let us all know when you are testing the technique so we can turn up and witness the experiment.sthughes wrote:While I was using it on a track today I slipped and fell head first (pack and all) into the dirt. The camera got a fair whack as I tried to break my fall with my hand with the camera in it and turned on. It's currently got a fair bit of debris and dirt on it but no UFO in it's pics! I'm baffled - I was surprised it still worked at all after it's 'trip', but it works better than ever!
No great mystery. There is a chunk of dirt or something in there somewhere and the jolt has dislodged ot from the optic path. It's still in there, but not causing any grief at the moment.sthughes wrote:Well I'll be buggered!
