Title: Camera Questions (Operational)
Post by: woodchucker on September 25, 2008, 04:33:00 PM
I work for a commutor RailRoad here in N.Y. and you folks would not believe the "junk" that people leave on the trains. Now before you go thinking I work in a "Gold Mine" let me explain.....

I work with a bunch of very honest,and up front guys.Cell phones we try and call the numbers in the
"recent calls" and try to contact the owners,wallets etc. we look for I.D. and try to call them.Once I even found the Badge & I.D. of a U.S.Marshall who lived localy(I called his house,talked to his wife,Drove to his house,and hand delivered it to him)

Some things,we have no idea who owns it or how to contact them.These items we put in a box,and hang on to for about a week in case someone comes looking for them.Then, It's "Finders Keepers".....

I found 2 digital cameras over the past year.One is a Canon "Power Shot" A560 My wife has claimed this one for the "family camera" and my sister in-law (who is a proffetional photographer,and lives in California) showed her all the functions and how to use it.

The other one.....Is a Vivitar "ViviCam 5150s".....

This one is a nice little compact camera that appears to have a zoom feature and vidio also,it also has the little mounting hole for a little tripod. The problem is,I can't figure out how to use the camera.

Is there a websight I can go to to find the instructions on how to use these cameras????? Any information would be a big help,I would like to carry the little Vivitar hunting with me. It sure beats a camera phone LOL!!!!!

I found one on the Vivitar website and emailed it to the email you have listed in your TG profile.
