Camera's have spat the dummy out again, this time you could actually hear Martine sighing. Then she made her way over to the desk...

In fairness, that was more Nicholas Owen being in the wrong place rather than the cameras' fault. Amusing regardless.
I like how Martine looks to her left, probably thinking, 'what the heck are they doing?'

That video has made me realise that that is a really ugly angle to present the news from, it is almost as bad as the one in the 5 News thread. Basically tucking your ribcage onto the desk edge and arm on it too, far prefer the wide push in from the front. If they really need to have the presenter with the screen as an OTS then let them set up for the centre shot then turn to the side and shoot it from far away and zoom in to make it look as flat as possible.

Not her specifically but in general, that is the impression you get sometimes...
Tucking ribcage? She's not sat that far into the desk

At this point you really have to ask when and if they will ever fix these issues? As amusing as it is, to us, its been happening so often, even casual viewers must be aware of it. Plus it's not a short mistake than can be ignored, it goes on and on and as we've seen there, the presenter had to fix it on her own. What would have happened if Martine didn't move to the desk? Would we get the chair presenting the full bulletin?
They should just drop the standing opening and have the presenter at the desk since it's so difficult to make cameras accept this new way of opening.

When that particular error happens, usually they wait a bit for a camera to 'switch' back to the shot required. At that time of night, there would be even less staff than usual and i assume that they didn't realise what was about to happen, or Martine shouldn't have went to the screens as the wrong template had been used.
