Cliff notes
All cameras suffer from the same three major issues, regardless of brand, age or technology.
Age? Read from the daguerreotypes to the latest and greatest digital cameras.
Issue # 1
It is heavy, really heavy, and complains all the time. It is either oddly glued to the camera, a few inches from it or far away, controlling the camera at a distance. What is it? It is I, us, anyone using the camera. There is very little to be done to correct that issue, either the push button is trainable or not.
Issue # 2
I am pointing a finger at the gremlin inside the camera. The gremlin just does not know what it is doing other than crunching numbers to offer an averaging of everything. It is not for nothing that the first issue complaints about the second. The complaints are simple: The thrice damned gremlin not only does not read its mind, but it obeys someone's else commands!
Please note that other gremlins can play with number one's mind, but really they are the creation of number one's foibles.
Issue # 3
The third issue just does not care about the other two. It is totally independent and is known to throw a curb ball at them. It is in front of the camera, the elusive scene that the first issue tries to capture, despite itself, and issue number two...
Is there a solution?
There is one? Maybe...
It really depends on issue number one. If number one knows number two, it helps. If number one understand number three, it also helps quite a bit more. If number one knows how to change the capture, it might place the final in the coffin that is a 'photograph'.
Well, one can hope.
Conclusion
Number one is always the main issue.
