So a friend bought a new camera and did not know how to use it. She called me at 9AM to help her figure it out. With me I read the book until I figure it out. These new cameras sure are hard to figure out. We went over to her house at ten AM and she showed me the camera. So I figured out how to take pictures with it. Than she wanted to transfer the pictures on to her laptop. That took awhile to figure out. Finally at one PM I was done and she bought us lunch from in N out. So at two PM we came home. That was not as easy as it used to be. I think they made it harder on purpose,

You are right and I hate to read manuals, so I continue to try until it works.

Technology is getting harder and harder. Soon we will be relying on AI for everything. Now that will be annoying. I've already had events with the robots on customer service trying to pay a bill on my phone.

It sounds like a long drawn out process.

I miss the days when you could pick up a camera and pretty much know what every button did.

Especially if the text in the manual book is very small, there are some products that might be easy to use.

I think cameras these days are easier to use than the older ones.

Sometimes it seems that manufacturers don't want us to do things easily. It's good you were able to sort it out.

At times, people pass on the difficult matters to others to decipher. I have had similar requests and it is a relief when I can solve the issues.

I dont mean this to come out rudely or that I am calling you old, but I think some things like that or other electronics just come easier and more naturally to the younger group lol
