I've followed the instructions for the debug mode but i don't get the debug menu up.
What i have noticed is that when i turn on while holing the menu button i get
DSP VER:1.03.0010
CPU VER:1.03.0010
I had'nt noticed both before.
Also after switching on and press the menu button twice i get the word Debug Mode in the top right hand corner. Even when i just press the OK button at any time while in the menu's i get the same thing and when i turn on the camera and wait for the first screen to dissapear i get the same thing . Is this normal or have i done something that i should'nt have. All this still happens after i have re-formated the sd card. I have now noticed that the the word Debug Mode stays on all the time even without sd card inserted.

Please help I'm getting annoyed now.

If you have previously turned on debug mode, it'll stay on, even through battery changes, power cycles etc. You need to use the same method you used to turn it on, to turn it off.

I seem to remember 'Debug Mode' adds extra options to the various menus. The 'Debug Menu' brings all those options into one menu. What you get depends on the command line you enter in your text file (the MODSET one). Did you use [DEBUG_MODE EN] or [OPEN_DEBUG_MENU]?

I haven't done this for ages (I did my K10D about 2 years ago), so I may be wrong.

[DEBUG_MODE EN]
I thought i would just check it out, but i learnt not to mess with things i don't thoroughly understand.

I did find it nerve-wracking, but it was okay in the end. But if you don't need to do it, it's not something I'd risk.
