Re: Why did my K1 not go automatically to DST?

Jos, my understanding is that the K-1 GPS Logging has nothing to do with photography. It allows you to treat your camera as though it were a GPS handheld device, but it is not connected to your basic camera functions. With Logging, a subroutine in the firmware will periodically query the GPS

Re: Why did my K1 not go automatically to DST?

Well I finally decided to look at time zones, and the Netherlands is on WET, which means that it's a major time zone, and DST changes for all of that time zone at the same time. Which by the measure of most software development teams is worth having in the cameras onboard time zone table. So

Part of the lack of real wide angle with APS-C is a matter of the lenses you had. Judging from spreadsheet the widest was the DA 20-40. Now I'd prefer all Pentax lenses, but there are ultra wide angle lenses for APS-C from other manufactures. The Samyang 10mm f2.8 is ultrawide by any

The K-5II does, the K20D does, the *ist-Ds does, though it's set in North America at least to a hopelessly out dated change time, as is the *ist-D. Stan's description of how his two K-1's behave are consistent with that. So I think I'm pretty safe in assuming that the K-1 will, if working

You're right, about the automatic DST change. You have to change the DST flag to display DST. I was wrong, at least about the K-5II. I'm not going to charge a battery for the K20D to test that or go through the rigamarole that's required to get the *istDs or D working just to them. I think

Just because the K-1 has a GPS doesn't mean it knows about DST. For that you need an extra file of info listing for every country in the world the dates that DST in that country begins and ends. My Garmin gps for example has such a list (and that list gets regular updates) and the firmware to make

Well, yes and no. If you look at that standard Time/Date structure, (Gaud this is getting into the weeds), if the software is using it correctly it's stores UTC a flag and an offset to get the local time. I assume that the OS used by the camera includes a Time/Date object. I also assume it
