I was a hardware & software QA person for about 20 years, making sure problems didn't get out the door.
I feel professional pride in reporting this problem so that camera company can fix things.
Boy, I imagine some people are in deep shit over this fuckup. A really bad oversight.

I got the defective camera boxed up, applied the return label, and sent it on its way.
I imagine it and the rest of the production line will end up at one of those bin-sale places.
@[email protected] I worked in desktop publishing for a while in a large bank in the UK, producing things like product leftlets and terms and conditions sheets (exciting, I know).
The bank and a printing company jointly paid one contract night security guard a significant amount of money as a thank you after he happened to spot at the beginning of his shift that one of the pages of a 70+ page full colour brouchure was upside down, an error missed by the people at both the bank and the print house. All because he got bored enough to flick through the test print left lying around before the overnight run started.
@[email protected] The bank had around 2,000 branches and we were due to ship multiple copies to all of them, to give a sense of scale. Full colour printing in 1999 wasn't cheap, either.
@mavnn One long-ago employer released a brochure that had a mis-spelling right on the cover. Someone at COMDEX visiting our booth spotted it. To be fair, the font was a modern, stretched-out one that made it hard to spot that "multimedia" was spelled "MULITMEDIA."
But, yikes!
Happy for that security guard.
@[email protected] ah yes, a close relative of the famous glance behind you at the 4 metre high projection of your slides at a conference while talking and spot the spelling mistake moment.
