I just use cards and delete as required. Cards are relatively cheap, easy to 
carry - I also use a card wallet and orient the used card differently than the 
empty cards.

I carry extra cards & have a scheme that allows me to tell the full ones from the

card, I slide the write protect tab to the lock position & put it into the wallet 
with the pins down.

Brian,
So sorry for the loss of your friends, but glad to hear (I assume) that

When we lived in So. Cal.,  there were 2-3 times when I was afraid the

Seeing the clouds below the grass makes it a bit surreal.

I wonder if you also had another shot, much more zoomed in, so that the 
bicyclists are more dominantly seen being above the clouds.

That would be a very different story but an interesting one too, methinks.


When I was first learning to ski on mountain (downhill) skis after

essential. I just like to process a few files on quiet evenings. A 64 gig card

Re: Tips for photographing Australia/New Zealand?

Well, my flight is tonight. Arriving Thursday the 14th first in
Sydney, then on to Queenstown in the NZ south island.  Will spend
about 3 weeks in the upside down.  I'll be in AUS starting the 26th
and leave the 2nd.  Should be fun.  Can't wait!

K1, rotate LCD screen?

2017-12-12 Thread Jan van Wijk
Hi all,

Just a quick question.

I was playing with my new K1 yesterday, doing some macro on a copy-stand.
(50mm macro + 100mm extension tube)

With the camera pointing straight down, it was nice to be able to fold the LCD 
upwards
to make it easier to see. This was fine for the viewing (and live view), 
however,
due to the orientation of the camera, the menus are upside down ...

I guess there is no setting to rotate the LCD-display 180 degrees, is there?

I could not find anything in the menus or manual about it ...

TIA, JvW

That would be a "hairy eyeball" if birds had hair.
