Laptop for minitor for the K-7
Hi list Does anyone know if I can use a Laptop as a monitor for the K-5, please. I remember the *ist D had this option if I instaled special software for this on my laptop. Can I do thsi with the K-5. And - in case it's a YAE, will I have to use Live View? One more question: Do I need all the formware updates, or will the 1.03 contain all previous updates? Thanks in advance. -- 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.
RE: Laptop for minitor for the K-7
Jen, Firstly congrats on the K-5 and Secondly I am curious also about firmware and if and when I update my K-R if I will need to install all versions or will the latest have all the updates in one file.

It is cumulative - also has 1.01 and 1.02 included. I don't remember the specifics, but I don't believe you can tether the K5 to a laptop. There was some recent discussion (last 3-4 months) on this - before I bought mine, so I paid scant attention. The archives may cough it up if you search.

Re: Re: Laptop for minitor for the K-7
Thanks Pete. I remeber reading something about some guys making attampts to design thrid party software for this kind of operation (tethering). I don't know where or how I can get hold of this software. What I really need is being able to store images on the fly to the laptop. I think the manual says I can do this :-) This is the most important thing to me. -- Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself.

Re: Re: Re: Laptop for minitor for the K-7
Well, it seems that there was a Remote Assistant for the K20D. That's good enough for me. The K20D is a very capable camera, quite capable of making splendid studio recordings at ISO 100. I used it for this, which has a quite good image quality, regardless of the fact, that I edited it in Portrait Professional later on: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bladt/5512893505/ The K20D is a fine studio camera, some reviews even siad that the image quality is better than the one of the K-7. I will give it a try with the remote assistant software provided with the camera :-) Regards Jens -- Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself.

Re: Laptop for minitor for the K-7
An Eye-Fi card with a laptop and wireless router should handle the image transfer for you. http://www.eye.fi/products/connectx2 Lightroom 2 or LR3 along with this plug-in should put the image on the screen for viewing. http://www.eye.fi/lightroom http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/folder-watch -p On 3/13/2011 8:28 AM, Jens wrote: Well, it seems that there was a Remote Assistant for the K20D.

there was a newer version of that released in the days of the K-7 so you may want to check Pentax Japan's download area! hth ecke 2011/3/13 Jens p...@planfoto.dk: Well, it seems that there was a Remote Assistant for the K20D.

Re: Laptop for minitor for the K-7
Yeah. I discovered that after I sent this. The Pro X2 will also let you set up an ad hoc connection directly between the card and a computer with a wireless card without the need for a router.
