I saw a trick the other day that I hadn't seen before. A woman was giving birth via Caesarian section [hence my attendance :) ]. Had his camera ready to take the obligatory photos and guess what.... no juice left in the dry cell for the flash/winder. We tried warming the cell, all to no avail. In the end the husband bit it really hard until it was almost crushed... put it back in the camera and voila... got 8 pictures (with flash) before it died again. Something about cells being crushed together....... Saved his bacon for certain! One of those things to keep in the back of my mind (just incase!!!)
