The K-5 in green mode automatically goes to JPG, no RAW. When I switch back to anything else, RAW is back on again. On Thu, Feb 9, 2017 at 3:22 PM, P. J. Alling wrote: > My K-5II in green mode, won't let me change to raw capture, it won't even > let me into the

P mode will probably do ok. Set the program line to MTF so it just tries to pick the sharpest apertures. And yeah you have to pick an ISO or set it to Auto. You can preset the ISO beforehand if the lights going to be mostly the same. Also make sure you turn off back button focusing and they should
