Sorry for the late meeting announcement. I just returned from a three-week trip to Southern California and the East Coast for my documentary project.

Backing Up Your Photos
Everyone knows that they should backup their photos, but how many actually follow through with a regular backup strategy? Backing up your photographs doesn’t have to be an ordeal. This presentation will cover several techniques to safeguard your photos, including:
- Backing up to multiple locations when importing photos
- Synchronizing changes across your backups
- Storing your photos online
- Using offsite backups
- Recovering from a disk failure
If you have a memorable backup story (or nightmare), be prepared to tell it to the group!
Custom Functions and Presets
Custom functions can help you get the most out of your camera. From using the quick dial control to select your autofocus point or switching autofocus to the * button, there’s plenty of ways to make a camera work the way you want it to. Everyone has their favorite presets and custom functions, and it’s time to share them with the rest of the group.
SmugMug Monthly Assignment: FLASH
The winner will get a free 1-year Pro account subscription on SmugMug for having the best photo of the group!
