I was trying to process photos from the dance tonight, and the
color balance wasn't working the way it was supposed to. All of a

yesterday, my camera got switched from raw, to jpeg. And 2M jpeg
at that. I don't know how, or why. I think it was before I had
the glitch where I had to pull the battery to get the flash to
work again.
I'm annoyed, because that is going to make it difficult to handle
the awkward lighting from tonight. arrrgh.
I don't know what happened. I don't see any other settings that
were changed. I suppose that buttons could have been pushed with
it in my camera bag and they just happened to be what was needed to
change the file format.
Having already had my camera spazz out on me a couple of times, I'm
just a wee bit nervous about this.
If you accidentally had it in GREEN mode, it records jpegs only. OTOH,
I seem to have had this issue with all 3 Pentax DSLR's I've owned. It
seems to happen very rarely, but is extremely annoying when it does.
One of the (few) annoying aspects of the K-5 that I've come across is
that if you put it in Green mode (maybe to hand the camera to someone
else to take a few shots), not only does it default to JPG, it also
defaults to sRGB even if you've programmed the thing to shoot in
AdobeRGB.
The K200D doesn't behave like that and I can't find any way of
changing the behaviour. It stuffs up the file naming system. Why
would the designers do that?
