You are probably right, Dario. I had a Z1 and Z1p for years. I never used this USER function. It's too complicated. The camera is complicated enough with out this. Tell him to go and take some pictures in stead of spending so much time with the manual. IIRC USER SET is the mode for choosing the standard fucnktions. The USER function is for when you want to photograph, using the chosen functions. The K10D has a similar feature. But much more user friendly.
I guess Initializing means "beginning" - meaning getting ready for choosing/changing USER funtctions - your standard set up. The manual is here: http://www.pentaximaging.com/files/manual/PZ-1p.pdf Regards Jens Bladt Nytarkort / Greeting Card: http://www.jensbladt.dk/godtnytaar2007/lydshow.html http://www.jensbladt.dk +45 56 63 77 11 +45 23 43 85 77 Skype: jensbladt248 -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] vegne af Dario Bonazza Sendt: 19. februar 2007 19:13 Til: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Emne: For PZ1p / Z1p users Hi, A friend of mine is going crazy with his newly purchased secondhand Z1p and rings me all the time to get explanations. Today the main question is what's the difference between: 1 - USER SET FUNCTION procedure explained on page 74 of the user manual. and 2 -Initializing the USER SET FUNCTION as explained on page 75. My guess is that the procedure on page 74 tells you how to customize the USER position of the main switch, while the so called "Initialization" on page 75 is how to reset to default settings. Unfortunately I don't have a Z1p at hand and the Z1p owner is not smart enough to understand what's going on with his camera, as he is only accustomed to classic mechanical SLR's interface, while the Z1p is apparently too much a step for him at all at once. Any comments? Thanks a lot. Dario -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- No virus found in this incoming message.
