  1. One of the annoyances I ran into trying to set things up on the new phone: Canon Camera Connect insists on using Chrome for its login flow. Not Android webview, not your default web browser, but Chrome. I actually had to install Chrome on a deGoogled Android to start using the app.

    (I'm still annoyed that the app has started requiring a login in the first place, since I don't use any cloud-connected services through it. Just the local ones that let me save a location trace and add it to the camera's photos, or transfer photos from the camera to the phone.)

  6. CW: Request for assistance with film camera repair

    Poking around on a #repair of a very inexpensive Canon EOS 5 QD (film, equivalent to the Canon A2)

    It runs very hot and drained a new battery in minutes; the flash capacitors test at a normal capacitance for the listed values, but this board (Canon part 1550 - DC/DC assembly) smells funky. Anyone know what the component 254 Yd- is? Position label on the board is PG.

    The flash caps test normal, and we have spares for those anyway. The battery has shown at a normal level on other cameras which take the same type (Pentax SF7) so whatever is faulty on this board is causing the battery to discharge hard, with gradual recovery afterward.

    If anyone knows anything which might help, please let me know <3
