If you can't get down to ISO 80, you've probably got the 'D-Range
Setting - Highlight Correction (Rec Menu Panel 3) set to On.  This
only permits an ISO range of 160 to 51200. If you turn Highlight
Correction 'off' you'll get ISO range from 80 to 51200.

You probably weren't paying attention a few months ago when I was asking
about the D-Range setting -- it's only useful for JPEGs.  Unfortunately
Pentax makes that less than clear.

No, and no.

I've never installed any of the Pentax software on my systems.

To see thumbnail images for DNGs on XP you want something called a
Windows Shell Extension.  I don't have my XP system fired up, so
I can't see which one I ended up using, and a Google search doesn't
bring up anything that looks quite right.  But if you switch to the
RAW+JPEG mode that's less of a problem, as you'll always have a JPEG
sitting right alongside the DNG, and that will show you a thumbnail.

The Pentax Digital Camera Utility on the CD is actually not too bad as  
a RAW converter (and it will read PEFs).  It's certainly a class above  
the crap that came with previous Pentax DSLRs.  Of course, if you're  
happy with the way Elements 5 is handling the DNGs, you don't need it.


It's a pity that Ashley looks so stressed  :-)
