    G5 Optical zoom function?

    I'm trying to get an answer to the question "does the G5 have the extended zoom function found on the G1 and G2"? Some say yes, some say no. Has anyone found how to select it? If so, how? Pete Edit... I think I've got it sorted after reading page 80 of the advanced user guide.

    Mallorca 2014

    Mike that would be fantastic and really appreciated. I'm happy to meet up whenever and wherever you suggest. The weekends are travel intensive so it will need to be during the week. My birthday is Tuesday, so Wednesday is liable to be rest day as I'll probably have a shandy Tuesday evening ;)...

    Guide for a day? Hi, we are coming to Majorca from 18th to 25th of October for my "big birthday" ;) Can anyone suggest a guide for a day/half day? We will be staying in Cala San Vincente and hope to do a few of the usual haunts local to the Pollensa area, including Sa'Albufera. I'm not a...

    External hard drive recommendation.

    There are several "cloud" storage methods available that let you save stuff too. Google drive offers 15GB for free (about 20 cd's full) and you have the benefit of being able to access them from any device (phone, tablet, PC, laptop etc. anywhere). A good option if you don't need TB capacity...

    Further to my Samsung Galaxy/download music problems.HEEEELP

    Do these "music files" play OK on your PC? If they do it looks like your phones music player is a bit fussy about file types? Try installing "Music folder player" app from the Google play store. Its free, easy to use and seems happy with all file types. Just direct it to the folder of music you...

    How do I put music (CDs) onto my Samsung Galaxy Ace?

    Take out the phones memory card, plug it into your computer (directly or via a USB card reader) and copy the files directly to it. Pete

    Arnova Tablet

    It seems loads of people have issues with this device due to firmware problems. Have a look at this link for updating firmware and other updates. http://www.arctablet.com/blog/archos-tablet/arnova-10g2-firmware-update-ext4-market-root-increased-app-storage/ Pete

    Arnova Tablet

    Are the apps missing from the home screen? If so, you have several home screens, are you on the correct one? If its worse than that you may need to reset the tablet. Google arnova reset, but back up any important stuff first. This will return your tablet to factory settings so you will need to...

    Changing ISP

    Sky won't charge for going over the 2GB limit, they will simply advise you that perhaps its time to upgrade. If however, you do start using the "on demand" service (you say you don't download films etc tho?) the unlimited option will be required for sure. If money is tight I'd definitely try...

    Changing ISP

    My guess Delia is that you are a "light" user, so Sky broadband (as you have a TV package with them) would be free for you. If you did go over your limit (2 GB I believe is the limit) you will not be charged any extra. Sky will simply advise you of the situation and suggest you upgrade. They...

    Changing ISP

    Moving is easy, I've done it many times. You "may" get some issues, it is unlikely but possible, however, you can always tether to your phones internet connection during any swap over time. I'm with SKY, they offer some of the best deals and with them "unlimited" means what you expect it to...

    Tablet for viewing DSLR photos/back up

    Are you completely discounting laptops? The HP 13" 4340s (14" 4440s, 15" 4540s, 17" 4740s) comes with Windows (8) but it can also run Mac osx, Linux, Windows XP and Android (the last 2 I have running in mac osx using Virtual box). Having 5 operating systems (2, 3, 4 insert number required here)...

    Tablet for viewing DSLR photos/back up

    It's only 7" but the Tesco Hudle is a bargain at £119. Micro SD card slot and USB OTG socket so it can use USB storage/card readers plus HDMI out to your TV. No SIM card, just tether it to your phone (via wifi) for 3G! Pete

    Tablet for viewing photos?

    Pego marsh?

    Heading for Denia next week and after a bit of digging on 'tinternet it seems I will be close to Pego marsh. Can anyone offer tips regarding access, hides, expected species, maybe even a guide for half a day? I will be in Denia from 12th to 19th September. Pete

    Birding in Alicante Province

    Going to be in Denia from Sept 11th for 10 nights and hope to get the binos and camera out. Can anyone suggest somewhere in that area worth a few hours, preferably with a hide to sit in or an easy walk? Pete
