I have this card reader: https://www.jessops.com/p/integral/usb-3-0-cfexpress-type-b-memory-card-reader-196644 Windows (11) will not automatically assign a drive letter to it, when I insert a card. I have to manually go into disk management every time, and assign a letter. I have tried doing...

For anyone else who has a similar problem, I sent this to Nikon for repair and it turned out that all it needed was the battery contacts cleaning.

Whoops. Should be fixed now

The screen on my Nikon SB-700 is very dark, to the point of being unreadable, although strangely it is brighter in some menu pages than in others. Before I send it to be repaired, am I missing an easy fix? I have tried putting in different batteries. View: https://youtu.be/FbNXW1zkzDU

The lenses are OM-mount lenses, designed to work with the Olympus OM cameras you have. You can buy adapters to make them fit on to some modern digital cameras. An adapter would allow you to take pictures with the lenses. But you won't have the features that purpose-designed lenses will have...

Good suggestion, thanks, although the photos on Streetview (if that is what you had in mind) tend to be more functional than creative.

Hi, I'm looking for inspiration for photography near where I live. Are there any good maps of geotagged photos, that I could use for ideas? I found one on Flickr (here), but it's not very user friendly.

Thanks for all the replies. I have taken a punt on a Micro Four Thirds adapter. I'll report back how it turns out.

Hi, I want to be able to take photos with an Olympus microscope. It has attached to it a ColorView 8 camera (see images). From a bit of Googling, it seems it was made by a company called Soft Imaging Systems GmbH, which has since been acquired by Olympus, but I can't find any information about...

Thanks Mike. I've just downloaded and run this. No malware found, happily.

Thanks for the suggestion. There wasn't an awful lot set to run on startup, but I disabled a couple of programs.

Hi Chris, Thanks for your reply. To clarify, I do not have everything on a single drive. I have my OS, programs, Lightroom catalogue and photos that I am currently editing on one drive (an SSD); photos that are 'archived' and other files on another drive (an HDD); and the content of both...

Thanks for this. Unfortunately I don't seem to have a button saying "Show processes for all users". However, the processes are categorised as "Apps", "Background processes" and "Windows processes". Nothing seems to be particularly hogging memory or CPU usage. I will have a go at uninstalling my...

Hi Neil, Thanks, this is the question to which I was looking for an answer. Because although the components are quite meagre nowadays, there doesn't seem to be any point upgrading them if they are not even being fully utilised. But I wasn't sure whether Task Manager gives an accurate picture...

Hi GTG, Thanks for the suggestions, I'll give the anti-malware software a go.
