Hi,

And of course, it now worked for me. So here is the pic. BUT I can reinvoke 
the bug by trying the shot with HDR. It fails as described. Turning off HDR 
then sees normal shots fail too. This persisted across a device restart 
UNTIL I took a normal subject non-HDR shot and then I could capture the 
net. I indeed was using HDR in the forest.

BTW, the hdr enabled icon needs be bigger in the viewfinder.
