Sony DSC-P150 - Flash not working correctly

Resetting the camera worked for me (little button beside the battery).

The flash problem just started, after using this amazing little camera almost daily for 6 years:  When the camera flashes (non-red-eye) there should be 2 flashes that occur very close together. One is the pre-flash and the other is the main flash. The problem involves the Main flash not going off (only the pre-flash does).

Here is how to reset your camera. It's from Sony's self help site, but I'm posting here in case the original goes away:

How to reset a Cyber-shot® digital still camera back to original factory settings.

Solution

Cyber-shot cameras nowadays have a built-in rechargeable battery for retaining time, date, and other settings. Since the built-in rechargeable battery is not removable, current Cyber-shot camera models can only be returned to the original factory settings by pressing a small RESET button on the camera or by using an Initialize option in the menu. Older-model Cyber-shot cameras (prior to the year 2000) do not have a built-in rechargeable battery and do not have aRESET button or Initialize option in the menu. These cameras require a manual power reset. IMPORTANT: To determine whether or not your camera has a RESET button or Initialize option, or for other model-specific information to complete any of the steps in this solution, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the product. Manuals are available online through the Manuals/Specs/Warranty link on this page. Follow the appropriate procedure below for your camera. Using an Initialize option in the menu Since Cyber-shot cameras have different menu system layouts, refer to the instruction manual specific for your camera model. Using a RESET button Locate the RESET button on the camera. Use a pointed object (like a ballpoint pen) to press and hold the RESET button for 2-3 seconds. After 2-3 seconds has elapsed, release the RESET button. Performing a manual power reset Turn off the camera. Remove the battery pack. Remove the button-sized lithium battery. Allow the camera to remain without power for 30 seconds. Reinsert the button-sized lithium battery. Reinsert the battery pack. Turn on the camera. If your camera is experiencing an issue and the issue is not resolved by performing the appropriate reset procedure above, then service may be required. Click the Repair & Status link on this page for available service options.

Flickr - Usage outside of Flickr must provide a link back to its page on Flickr

Where is the HTML code and photo file link?

The HTML code to embed a photo in a web page that you used to find on the All Sizes page is now only in the Share menu above the photo, to the right of the Actions menu. We now also include BBCode! (standard message board code)
There are a few cases where the code may not be available: 1) If the photo is restricted. 2) If that person has turned off "Share this" or access to original files.

The direct link to a photo file is no longer shown on the page. Per the Flickr Community Guidelines "pages on other websites that display content hosted on flickr.com must provide a link from each photo or video back to its page on Flickr." Linking directly to the photo file doesn't do this.

After searching the web, I found this gets the best reviews and it works great.

Comcast Error S0a00 (aka "One Moment Please" error)

Error code S0A00 generally means a cable is not connected well. Check all connections from the wall outlet all the way through to your TV. That always works for me when I get S0a00 (seriously!).

After checking for looseness, run the cable directly from the wall into the back of the TV (bypassing all the devices), if that works then one-by-one re-connect the devices to see where the problem lies.

If that doesn't work, this from Xfinity's support site:

Error code S0A00
If you have been receiving the S0A00 error message for more than one hour, a live technician will need to troubleshoot the issue with you. Please determine if the error message is appearing on all TVs in your home, or just one before you contact us. 1-800-COMCAST (1-800-266-2278).

Excel - How to Round Data Labels in Charts

Here's how to change your chart labels from actual data to something like $1K.


Apply it by right-clicking the data label and going to the number tab, then in the Custom category. Type $0,"k" in the "type" box and hit OK. 


[If using Microsoft 2007, then click on the "Format" tab, "Format Selection", "Number" and then type into "Format Code" box: $0,"k".]


Jon Peltier (first link below) has a great page of information about number formats, and he spells out thousands, millions, etc., specifically toward the bottom of the page. The Office Online article will also give you a good overview so you can understand what's going on with the dollar sign and the K inside quotation marks. Thanks to Echo S.
