On the K-5, switching on the monitor INFO display is one fairly quick way to

Yeah- which is how I found the mistake :-)

Subject: Re: Help! problem with K-5 settings... GOT IT -
Does anyone know if there's an annunciator -- icon, indicator,
whathaveyou -- that will tell me at a glance what mode the 4-way
control is in? All I can do now is experimentally poke a button and
see what happens, then if it's wrong press the mode switch button and
try again to verify. If it's right, hit the opposite button to put the
AF point back.
Really a PITA. This is an ugly wart in the K-3 UI design, as far as
I'm concerned.

Bruce I do shoot RAW - but that made me lazy in getting down more quickly to
what was causing the problem --
I think I must have accidentally hit the menu button as you had done for
starters..

Ann, I'll describe what has happened to me a couple of times and this
might explain how you got into a funny colour space.
I mainly use the 4-way arrows to move the AF point around. I use them
that way much more than I use the menu options (Drive, WB, Flash,
etc.), so I leave the 4-way mode in "AF points" by default.
But once in a while I accidentally leave the 4-way in menu mode, so
when I next pick up the camera and start fiddling with the 4-way while
looking through the viewfinder I am surprised that the AF points don't
move. Then I go "Duh!" and press the 4-way mode button to fix it.
Meanwhile though, while I was hitting the 4-way buttons in the wrong
mode I was randomly setting things and causing mayhem. The last time I
made this error I accidentally set the colour space to Bleach Bypass
and my preview LCD images looked totally bizarre. I was much relieved
when I unloaded the shots into Lightroom and discovered they were all
okay and I quickly figured out the problem.
Luckily I shoot raw only so no harm was done. Another reason to only shoot
raw!

Ok I found where to get it back to the correct stuff..
thanks, Philip -
Can't imagine how I got it messed up
interstingly, though, the incorrectness was very fitting for one of my
shots
