I just checked, and setting raw/fx to astrotracer is actually useful. If the gps isn't on, or the camera isn't in bulb, it does nothing. If both of those are true, then pressing it puts the camera in astrotracer mode, so you have to press OK, then the shutter to take an astrotracer timed exposure. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
