Actually, it's my parents' fault. I could go with just two, but I don't want people to get in the habit of calling me Elsie. I am many things, but a cow isn't one of them. > > Are you sure this is the K5 you're talking about? That's how my K10D > behaves, > but on the K5 I don't get that leading underscore on the name. Yup, can't change the filename on the K-x and the K-5 was my only other camera last summer. It's possible that it was triggered by sRGB rather than DNG, but I thought either one did it. > > I set the prefix on my K5 to "K5_0" (at least for the first 10000 > exposures), > and when I look in a random image directory I see K5_01396.JPG & > K5_01396.DNG I'll have to double check on that. In any case, my theory is that I'll shoot in PEF and keep those files as backups someplace. Eventually, I'll use lightroom to convert them to DNGs for portability. One of my first big purchases when I start getting paychecks will probably be a drobo of some kind, and I may just do the conversion by having lightroom write my "everything catalog" to the new disk farm as DNGs. -- l...@red4est.com via squirrelmail -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
