True. At first, I turned them all on and then turned off a bunch. I got to a sweet spot. No, not a metalhead by any stretch of the imagination.

I am SUPER excited! I just found out that a book was published about one of my ancestors. I can't wait to get it and read it. It'll be a fantastic read on the history of the times in context.
A Common Man’s Survival After Being Captured at the Battle of Dunbar and Sold into Servitude in America In the winter of 1650–51, one hundred fifty ragged and hungry Scottish prisoners of war arrived at Massachusetts Bay Colony, where they were sold as indentured laborers for 20 to 30 pounds each. Among them was Thomas Doughty, a common foot soldier who had survived the Battle of Dunbar, a forced marched of 100 miles without food or water, imprisonment in Durham Cathedral, and a difficult Atlantic crossing. An ordinary individual who experienced extraordinary events, Doughty was among some 420 Scottish soldiers who were captured during the War of the Three Kingdoms, transported to America, and sold between 1650 and 1651. Their experiences offer a fresh perspective on seventeenth-century life.
The Involuntary American: A Scottish Prisoner’s Journey to the New World by Carol Gardner describes Doughty’s life as a soldier, prisoner of war, exile, servant, lumberman, miller, and ultimately free landowner. It follows him and his peers through critical events: the apex of the Little Ice Age, the War of the Three Kingdoms, the colonization of New England, the burgeoning transatlantic trade in servants and slaves, King Philip’s and King William’s wars, and the Salem witch crisis. Firstperson accounts of individuals who lived through those events—Scottish, English, Puritan, Native American, wealthy, poor, working class, educated or not— provide rich period detail and a variety of perspectives.
The Involuntary American demonstrates how even individuals of humble circumstances were swept into the maelstrom of the First Global Age. It expands our understanding of immigration to the colonies, colonial servitude, the linkages and tensions between Europe, Massachusetts Bay, and America’s northeastern frontier, and of New England society in the early colonial period.

Very cool, Tela. We do that stuff too. It's interesting, even more so when it's someone in your family.

Unfortunately camera settings cannot be changed from UK location. I purchased from local Best Buy. Camera was shipped from Chicago. The UK settings do not allow me to use most features of camera, including flash. There is no way I can change the camera location. Will be registering the camera and call support today.

I hope you can work it out. Does this model have the monitor in the back?

Are you able to do a factory reset? That may let you start fresh with the settings. I’ve done resets after goofing up settings before and it can be very helpful. I found this for that mode of camera: Factory Reset Tap on the Menu button. Tap on the 4th Wrench menu and goto sub menu 4. Tap on Clear Settings. Tap on Clear All Camera Settings. Tap on OK. The camera has been reset and is ready for first time setup. www.support.com/how-to/how-to-factory-reset-a-canon-eos-rebel-t7i-camera-11381

Spent 30 minutes on hold with Canon. The rep talked me through a few things. Current time stamp is now Chicago, which is the closest to me. Tried taking a photo again. Flash does not work and many other settings cannot be changed. Just keep getting error messages. this should not be that hard.
Guess I will be scheduling a Geek Squad appointment in the near future.

Before you call the Geek Squad maybe you can find a youtube about your problem.

What dial setting are you using? If you are in automatic mode (the green “A” on the selector dial) or one of the other programmed settings, then I believe Canon locks out a lot of options. If you change the dial to one of the manual settings, you may be able to have more control over features like the flash, aperture, ISO, etc. If you are getting error messages with an actual error code, I would still try to do a factory reset before anything else. You could also try downloading the latest firmware from Canon’s website to make sure it has the latest software. Good luck getting the new toy working! I’ve used Canon cameras (including a couple Rebels) and they sometimes have weird quirks in the software to figure out.
