Re: WIN 10 problem

Thanks. I've some pictures and writing in there, I hope a clean installation won't wipe those out. It is not virus. It is Win 10 incompatible with my old modem, plus the troublesome passwords. Downloaded one of the installation USB tool, but it takes 1hr and I can't get the USB tool to work. Maybe t...

Re: Testing you-tube videos

It is probably using digital zoom.Zooming in two clicks in generally give the best pictures. Fully zoomed in, the pictures are very bad. I may have used some zoom settings in the middle. ...

Re: Testing you-tube videos

https://youtu.be/oTHuJ_X1rYw Fiddler crabs. The videos are rather shaky. Using a tripod, but still have movements. Maybe it is the wind blowing on the camera. After editing by you-tube, the shake is reduced. The other crab picture is in the swamp forest, maybe too dark, so it is blurred. Will have ...

In my room, the videos are sometimes grainy. By the way, If I want to add my speech recording separately after the video taking, ...

Re: Spin fly
