Also, check whether you have the debug command file on your SD card 
Think it's "MODSET.474" (see this page - you should be able to disable it with a plain text file, MODSET.474 with contents: "[DEBUG_MODE DIS]" )
(You could try formatting the card in-camera)

I have just tried PK-Tether V0.7.0 on my K-7 and I was able to turn debug mode on & off.
My K-7 is firmware V1.13 and I ran PK-Tether from a Windows8.1 desktop.
I also had to turn off the camera Top LCD illumination, config menu screen 5 "29. LCD Panel Illumination" otherwise the top LCD was flashing which appears to be a known bug with PK-Tether.
The camera must have a memory card present.
This is what I tried:
Run PK-Tether.
Connect the K-7 to the PC using the USB cable.
Turn The camera on.
Under the the Debug mode menu bar entry select Camera debug mode on or off.
Close PK-Tether.
Turn the camera off.
Unplug the USB cable
Turn the camera back on again & check the LCD at start-up to see if it is in Debug mode or not.
And here is a screen dump:

I hope this helps,

Hi,
the same thing happened with my K5 when i had a play this week with PK tether. Just find the extra menu on your camera and you can turn it off.
Fun little program I think. Why don't Ricoh have an official version bundled with their cameras? Old question I know.

Thank you to all of you.
Glyn, I followed the advice in your 2nd comment and it seems to have turned off the 'Debug Mode'

I have a K7 and would like to remove the Debug Mode that is exhibited in the monitor.
I have Version 1.13 firmware update.
Can anyone assist?
