Olympus OMD E-M1 in the snow

The Olympus E-M1 is an amazing photographic tool, so what makes it even better? This camera can withstand the elements! Here is southern Missouri we generally do not get much snow but the past couple days left us with nearly a foot of snow. Of course that meant it was time to test the E-M1’s weatherproofing. It did not disappoint, after shooting admirably in the frigid weather I let the E-M1 hang out in the snow for a bit… Of

Crossroads Inn, Salem MO

My family enjoys staying at the Holiday Inn Express is Salem MO. It is a very good hotel, with excellent service and amenities (which is quite a surprise for being in such a rural area). In fact it is actually one of the best we have stayed in anywhere. As such, I am excited to be helping them as they switchover to being Crossroads Inn and Suites. I know that the owners want to run the best hotel possible and

Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga, Fn key fix w/function lock

Updated for 2023: The Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga defaults to having all the function (F1-F12) keys perform their alternate behavior (media controls, brightness, etc.) and not their traditional ‘function’ key behavior. For example, if you want to refresh a web page by pressing F5 you must simultaneously press and hold the Fn key, otherwise the key will function as ‘decrease brightness’ . What is even more annoying to me is trying to close a tab by pressing Ctrl+F4 (and it not

Fuji X100 review

This review of the X100 comes at an odd time, years after its initial release and in the face of many new competitors.

This review would read a lot differently if this were 2011, but time marches on and this is my view as of Dec 2013! ๐Ÿ™‚ This

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro display blanks when on battery?! [SOLVED]

Q. When I unplug my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro from the wall the screen goes blank. When I plug it back in the screen comes on. Unplug it and it goes off again?! How do I fix this! -Terri A. Hi Terri, your display brightness may be set to zero for ‘battery’ mode. Please try pressing your brightness+ key (it looks like a little sun with a plus sign and it is shared with the F6 function key) and see

How to enable Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga backlit keyboard? [SOLVED!]

The Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga is available with a backlit keyboard, here are photos of mine: However, Lenovo makes the “on” button for the keyboard backlight a little hard to find… you have to press the Fn key + the Spacebar key to turn enable/disable the backlight. ๐Ÿ™‚ Overall, a very nice machine with a rather cool keyboard! PS here are some other Lenovo laptops that use the same keyboard shortcut!!! Top Search Terms:lenovo yoga keyboard backlight (213)lenovo yoga 2 keyboard
