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.

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.
