Odora88 05/23/17 10:05:56 AM #1:	It's really disappointing to ask someone to use your camera to take a photo of you and/or some other people, stage the pic, have them take it, and they say "Looks great!", only for you to go check later and the photo is completely zoomed out from like 15 feet away... I feel like most cameras are pretty intuitive to locate the zoom function... Yet EVERY time I ask someone to take a photo with my camera, this always happens >_> Did everyone just all forget how to do it when there's no touch screen to pinch? --- I stink, therefore I am. :P <cite>Odora88 posted [p:879647348] in Why do peo...
