Re: White Balance on K-7

I'm pretty sure it's what Dario is saying. When I received the K-5 last week the first thing I did was go through the Custom menu and change stuff like this. I don't understand why the default setting is to allow the camera to change WB when on AutoWB, but it is. On 29/11/2010, Dario Bonazza wr

There was a thread on PentaxForums where people were trying to do that. Nobody was successful. Lots of people have been asking for a firmware switch to allow the choice of screwdrive or SDM; I doubt it's going to happen. On 26/11/2010, eckinator wrote: > has anyone ever tried blocking the SDM co

His pink camouflage doesn't work very well... I suppose it's because the French don't have a word for "camouflage". I want to be him, though. On 26/11/2010, Madame RD wrote: > > my black cat (called Othello ..) in Laffrey roaming in the garden . > He could indulge in his favorite ways : ba

Re: What's the advantage of DNG?

That's what I do with my K10D, but after converting to DNG I erase the PEFs. The K10D shoots uncompressed DNG, but newer cams shoot the compressed version, so I see no need for PEFs with them. --M. On 25/11/2010, Larry Colen wrote: > > On Nov 25, 2010, at 4:51 PM, paul stenquist wrote: > >> >>

Re: What's the advantage of DNG?

I believe it's the K-x where Pentax changed the shape of the battery compartment so you couldn't use CR-V3 batteries. That should tell you what they think of them. --M. On 24/11/2010, Brian Walters wrote: > On Wed, 24 Nov 2010 18:28 -0500, "Eric Weir" > wrote: >> >> On Nov 24, 2010, at 5:40 P
