Some googling showed that it is a common problem with the model-- so common that the needed replacement part is sold on Ebay. But rather than crack open the new camera, I found a third-party external flash for the F707 (originally around $140, on clearance for 10 bucks) and have ordered one of those. (The F707 doesn't use a plain "hot-shoe"-- it has a data port to plug the flash into the camera so that there is TTL metering.)

I've mentioned before, the secret to looking like a great photographer is to take lots and lots of photos-- and never show anyone most of them. Treat photography like surgery: bury your mistakes.

I've upped a few more CP photos earlier today, to be found here:

In a couple, I've been playing around with IR "night vision" mode. I've yet to order filters to allow me to use the mode at day (need to block all "normal" light and most IR) but I can still, of course, do it at night. I was wondering if any colorations would show up in IR that aren't in the human-visible range, but everything was pure white. (I know that color differences would be more likely to show up in UV, but I have no way to capture UV.)
Those are great shots. The "Sarracenia purpetrator full of flies" is awesome. No home should be without one!

This one could be titled "Sex and Death."
