Confession: I've never pored over the manual to fully understand my cameras. (It is a testament to Pentax that they make things intuitive enough to figure out how to get good images (at least for someone who already understands the basic principles from shooting film SLRs) and for people who know next to nothing - they can just put the camera on P and get usable images.) But I've never learned how to make my camera do backflips, never used a USER setting, or probably understood a big percentage of what my camera would let me do.
So, I found this DPReview thread educational, and it has made me want to spend some time changing that situation and taking more advantage of what my K-3 can do. Since Pentax has mostly kept their menu functionality the same, most of what is share will apply to any Pentax DSLR. http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/56168535 The OP is someone recently hired by DPR and I find it interesting that he's interested in figuring out what makes Pentax special. Maybe this signifies that Ricoh/Pentax is coming up in the minds of the General Camera world, like DPR. I know there is a lot of knowledge here on the list. I'm wondering what your answer might be to the original poster's question? -- Life is too short to put up with bad bokeh. -- 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.
