On a funny side note, we were at a friends for dinner and a buddy's wife said, hey let me see your camera. I said sure. She said ohhh, is it digital? Oh yes mam. She picks it up and starts doing the PS routine- looking to see her content on the LCD. errr.. No, no you have to look thru the view finder, Its a SLR. Ok, "Single lens reflex" she says and goes back to looking at the LCD. It's not on she says. At this point, I tell her the batteries must be dead. You are luck with your photographer, at least they squeezed off a picture.
I had a similar experience last summer. My brother got married and I was in the wedding party, so obviously couldn't take any shots. So I decided to ask one of the bride's friends to take some pictures with my camera.
I told her it was an SLR and to just turn it on and shoot, (I had set it on auto).
Afterwards I asked her if she got any good pics, and she said the camera wouldn't even turn on.
