Maybe - some phones make it challenging, some are easy. Dig into the manual, or figure out if the data is embedded with your photo and see if that data changes or goes away when you change the setting.

I wonder if that does the same thing you mentioned with photos?

If the photographer then shares that photo on-line, they've also posted the date/time and location of the photo. Folks with privacy (or OPSEC) considerations might not like to have such info in the public domain, where nefarious intentions can lead to bad results. ________________________________ From: Rich Thomas <richthomas79td...@constructivity.net> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Sent: Thu, December 16, 2010 10:37:09 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] The continuing 124 rear suspension saga Google Blogspot lets you set up a blog, you can post pictures and text and whatever. --R On 12/16/2010 5:53 PM, Max Dillon wrote: > Yes, I thought about that, but I don't have a place to share the pictures. > Lousy excuse - I'm sure someone on this list could have helped me out, but > that's my story and I'm sticking to it. > > I do plan to write up a comprehensive step-by-step with lessons learned, > tools, part numbers, etc, but don't anyone hold their breath.
