The same as on the K-5 I think which would be P mode. In fact the only mode you can't shoot raw in is Green mode. On 2/8/2017 10:21 PM, Larry Colen wrote: I see to recall that green mode shoots only jpeg. If I wanted my housemate to be able to pick up my camera and get photos of the flood

I've not noticed any particularly funky colors, but, I have noticed that when rendering, it uses a "generic" camera default rendering. I always change it to use either the K-5II or K20D depending on which body I used for the shot. Unfortunately it doesn't recognize any files from any Pentax

A junko in the forsythia. Again, it’s the K-1, D FA 150-450 and the A2X-S converter, 900mm, ISO 1000, 1/250th, probably f8. I believe it’s cropped to about 30% of frame. I can get closer to these guys, but I shot from my deck to avoid having to stand in the snow. Lazy!

This pic is perhaps interesting primarily because of the equipment used. I mounted the D FA 150-450 and an old A 2X-S converter on the K-1. That meant my tired old eyes had to focus manually, but the in-focus beep and flashing light on the K-1 make it fairly easy, using just the center focus
