I needed to shoot DNG for an event and found something annoying. I normally add a digit to the file index using the fourth character of the name, so 7043 becomes LRC37043.PEF, but if I shoot in DNG I lose the fourth character, it becomes _LRC7043.DNG. -- [email protected] via squirrelmail -- 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.
