Dad: The icon says recording time XXX, battery life YYY.
Me: I *think* the camera can record for ZZZ, but I'm not sure. The manual should be in the case.
Dad: I'll try putting the card in the computer and see what it says.
Me: Sounds good.

I get these calls too! Though mine are for his TV,um it says HDMI1 but there is nothing on the screen! So over the phone I walk him through it once again. My dad will be 90 this August,the HDTV was his 89th birthday present LAST year from my mom and she doesn't even like TV!
*grin*
A former roommate had a mental-block when it came to her VCR, so I kept setting things on it too. ;)
