Subject: RE: I can;t see my photos
From: David J Brooks
Took several shots with a PZ-1 on Saturday. I look at the back of the
camera to see how i did, but all i get is black.
Any ideas.
Long tiring day yesterday, I'm kind of slow on the uptake this morning.
Had to get my PZ-1p out of the bag before I figured it out.
I was thinking about the little window that lets you see the type of film
canister loaded [Provia 100F/36] in it.
But, while we're on the subject of the PZ-1, there's also some kind of
little LCD display on the back of my PZ-1p with buttons for "Mode, Select
& Adjust".
They're shown in several of the illustrations for other functions, but
there's nothing about them in any of the instructions. You can see them on
p11, illustration #1 & #3 for "ADJUSTING THE VIEWFINDER DIOPTER" ... a
little horizontal window in the back with three buttons slanted to the
right underneath it. They're right above the panorama switch.
I'm guessing that's something to do with imprinting date & time on film?
Yep.
I don't think it's ever worked on mine. Is there a separate battery
somewhere that powers it? Something in one of the Pentax functions to turn
it on/off?
Yes, IIRC its internal to the camera back.
Or is it something Pentax put there but never made operational?
I remember reading somewhere Pentax was supposed to have really good
date/time imprinting functions because they printed between the frames and
not in the image.
On the MZ-S
BTW - On my SF1 I added a really great Pentax data back (interval data back
F) that was handy for numbering in multiple ways A thru D or E (?) and
numbers 00 thru 99, also allowed interval shooting.
Those date/time imprinting backs were a step backwards from the data back F,
could never under stand why it wasn't carried forward.
