Silêncio

and to me, a New Year

Most gadgets built into current SLR’s are not needed to make a technically perfect picture or to make a sensitive statement about the human or animal condition.
The current automated cameras are like the automatic pilot in a plane. It works alone without human intervention, but when it fails the pilot needs to know how to act. In photography most users are lost when the automatic pilot gives up. We are helpless in the face of modern technology. This a trend of the age. Many studies will tell you that most people feel overwhelmed by high-technology instruments and hardly use 5% of its inherent functions.
The Japanese approach is of course a very valid one. The photographic mass market does not ask for knowledge, the market wants support for easy picture taking.
