I like having both. When I'm sitting here at the computer, I don't have 
to get up  go into the other room  dig the manual out of my camera bag.


But when I'm out somewhere, I don't have to dig out my laptop  fire it 
up to get to the PDF version.

Just a reminder to Ann that the K-5 manual is *not* the same as the one
for K-5 II, make sure you get the right one (makes little difference
operationally, big difference for page numbers ;-).


They sent me the right one with the camera... KEH rocks!


Great!  (And they do.)  But you probably still want to download the
manual just to have it handy.  (I keep mine on my smartphone.)

Ah, is your reader compatible with SDHC cards or just SD cards? If it is an
older reader it might not support the new high density (2gb) cards. Ask me
how I know: we spent a wonderful day in Shanghai looking for a reader :-)

If you have a 2gb or less SD card then you can prove the theory that is is

Yah, just use the USB cable and plug the camera right into the computer and 
you'll be good for now.

SDHC-compatible reader will set you back about $10 if you try hard.  Probably

1)  push the MENU button; this brings up page 1 of the capture settings.

2)  use the 4-way controller (or the front dial) to move to the
first entry - file format

3)  use the 4-way controller (or the rear dial) to move into the list
of options, and then select the one that you want (RAW + JPEG)

4)  push OK


That sets RAW+JPEG to be the default.  You can also toggle through
the various options directly by pushing the RAW button (near the
lens mount) if you want to do something different for a few shots.

2013-07-15 Thread John

I've gotten that on a few occasions. It's usually one of a few things.

1. If you've got an older multi-function card reader, it might not read 
larger capacity SD cards. I ran in to that when I switched from the 
*ist-D CF cards to the K10D SD cards. SDHC cards hadn't been invented 
when I bought the multi-function reader I used with the *ist-D.


2. The SD card isn't completely seated in the slot. The computer is 
seeing the card reader, but not the card inserted in the reader.


3. USB is acting flaky  I can't tell you why.

Or Adobe downloader may not be up to the task.

I've found these to be very reliable. They're OEM'd under a whole bunch

I get them from Tiger Direct for $4 each, but I'm shopping at the local

You can probably also find them at Target, Walgreens, Walmart, Big Lots 
or the like.


BH has them OEM'd as Vivitar brand.
