Pentax Numbering System
Hi Mike. No garantee but you could try this, transfer your last DS shot (say _IGP3000) back onto the SD card, load the SD card into your K100D and take a shot. If all goes well your K100D shot should be numbered _IGP3001. If that's worked format the SD card and take another K100D shot, hopeful...

Pentax Numbering System
Brian, Thanks for the suggestions I've already taken a few shot on the K100D testing it. Sounds like a good idea regarding the card but as you say it could affect the resale value (I never thought of that). If I rename the existing files it will mess up the links in the Elements Organizer ...

Nope. At 9,999 it goes back to one. G

How many shots has my IST D Taken?
Mine's on a modest 15k, but it looks it too :P Probably the most wear for mine is on the K-mount - changing lenses in a hurry :roll: In fact, AFAIK, all Pentax cameras have the ability to reset the image count back to zero after a card change ;) In other words, you can't get a genuine, reliabl...

How many shots has my IST D Taken?
Mine's up to about 15,000 too, only showing wear to the green rectangle on the mode selector, the hotshoe, and just a bit more 'polished' where my hand holds it. I say 'about' 15,000 because inexplicably, the numbers jumped backwards by a few hundred a while back, not long after I went past the 1...

How many shots has my IST D Taken?
The one I dropped went into Pentax at Slough to have the top plate replaced - the hotshoe had been torn off (it had a flash on it at the time). I asked for it to be serviced at the same time, and it came back with in lovely shape with a six months guarantee. The other one has never been servic...

ND Grad filters
Matt, Wouldn't surprise me if it were a cluster, or if they were running some sort of cache in front of their main servers to reduce the load on the back-end.

Poll - who would £1000 for a full frame K10D?
John, I think the key to your post is the word potential... if you know what you're up to and are happy to spend the time processing a RAW file correctly and methodically then, [i]potentially it can be better than the same shot taken as a JPEG. I have a number of fabulous images that I've tak...

Surely the essential point with using RAW files is that you are archiving the best and most detailed file of your image (?) Quite agree. I've found this especially true when switching RAW convertors. I found that going from Adobe Camera Raw to C1LE meant I could "rediscover" many shots tha...

The pro labs I use for printing offer 10x7" and 18x12" which work just great with 3:2 ratio. For landscapes I'll often add a border and title, so that can get it back to 4:3 if the format requires it. Matt

Poll - who would £1000 for a full frame K10D?
When you see what Leica have managed to produce out of a "small" 10 MP sensor, there is a long way to go. The problem at the moment seems to be the thickness of the IR filter required. The problem would then remain of very wide angle lenses. If the smaller sensor had been adopted as "...

Those of us that want to still be in business three years from now had better start debating "Still Photographer vs Multimedia Specialists" Excellent point Don. Technology is changing rapidly and re-writing the rules as it goes. I mean how long before we see 6MP in a phone? Probably hap...

Hi Liam, I guess their argument would be that if a file is properly processed (perhaps using 16bit to start with), resized to 48Mb (same as going from 300ppi to 500ppi) with a good resizer (just downloaded trial of Genuine Fractals, definite quality improvement over PSE Bicubic), then saved as a ...

How cold is too cold?
What a timely question. I was out today with my *IST Ds and used auto focus on my 50-200mm DA. I took 85 shots of beautiful artistic snowdrifts in a temperature of -11C and a howling wind. The wind chill was at least -20C. My AA 2500mAh NiMH rechargables held up fine and always showed full power. At...

Inbuilt Flash Query with istD L2 dslr
The first time this happened on my *ist DL I almost passed out in shock, fearing several hundred pounds worth of technology had disintegrated in my hands. Don't fear! When shooting in low light conditions with the flash unit deployed, if the camera is struggling to focus it will fire off a rap...

Inbuilt Flash Query with istD L2 dslr
Just to add a little info: The pop-up flash "fizzes" like that to provide an auto-focus assist - it's outputting bursts of light to enable the AF electronics to actually see what's going on. It's perfectly normal, if a little irritating ;) The AF360FGZ and AF540FGZ have a separate AF...
