It sounds like the K10D has become a bit confused. Try cleaning the lens contacts. If that doesn't help, take the battery out of the camera and count to 100 then replace it, if that doesn't work pray. David J Brooks wrote: I set up the K10D with the Sigma 300 F4 and APO 1.4 Sigma tele

Hi Tim, CS4 already handles the K7, but the latest version of Camera RAW doesn't work with CS3 which is what I have. CS3 does work perfectly with the K7 DNG files (as Photoshop CS handled the K10D's DNG files, but not the PEF files). It's Adobe's way of making money. I have enough hard drive
