[pct-l] digital camera



"All the print on the buttons wore off too.  (menu, set, OK, back....etc)"

This started to happen to my Canon G3 also.  I discovered it was the DEET on
my fingers.  DEET is a great solvent.  It works great as a paint remover, or
to remove pitch from your hands.

I had problems. Every time I needed that once in a lifetime photo, my
batteries were dead.  AA's.  Batteries are hard to find as you're on the
PCT approaching Mt. Whitney from the south.  Missed everything between
there and Independence includingshots from the top of Whitney.   Don't know
what the cause was.  Used a Fugi Finepix 3.2MP 3X optical.  All the print
on the buttons wore off too.  (menu, set, OK, back....etc).(No Case)

Fugi repaired the camera (if it was broken, and replaced the buttons.  I
think they said rechargable batteries would last longer.  Charger in the
bounce box???
