saw another chocolate bear today
« on: April 29, 2012, 05:16:20 PM »
I went to check some of my trail cams today and spotted a light colored chocolate bear. It looked like it was around 150 pounds with a nice full coat on it. I went to take a picture of it and found out that the button on my camera had fallen off and could not get a pic. I sure hope that I can get my camera fixed so I don't have to buy a new one. It sure seems as if the bears are out and about.

75johndeere it is a Sony. The model number is DSC-H5. I looked the part up on the internet and it looks as if there is a button, a small spring and a tiny retaining clip for it. I would guess that the tiny clip is still inside of the camera. I have never taken on of these apart before and not sure if I should. Maybe you have some advice on that. Thanks for taking your time on this.

Thanks for looking, I think that I will take it to a camera shop this morning. I really like to take it to the woods with me.
