You can change the function of the dials in various exposure modes but the +/- directional behavior of the dials is fixed. If you have found a way to change this on the K-5 I would like to hear about it! > >> p45 Three (3!)

You are right. I hadn't found that before. However on the K-3 in addition to Distortion Correction and Lateral Aberration Correction, they have added "Peripheral Illumination Correction" (which I think is what we call vignetting). And unlike with the K-5, there are no warnings about how using these will slow down the FPS when using Continuous shooting and slow down production of Instant Reviews. Either their processing engine is much faster or they are just leaving out such warnings in favor of keeping the manual shorter. > >> p73 One of the functions that can be assigned to the Fx button is SR >> On/Off.
