Hello , wishing you all well, As i have taken the plunge and upgraded the k10 to the gx20 i was wondering there are lots of settings for the image control in jpeg ie,natural etc is this the same in the k20, also do these adjustments apply in raw as well? thanks

ps i feel kinda bad having samsung on my camera,rather it say pentax on it,though the £305 price tag was just too good to pass up on

thanks folks your replies are apriciated

A Pentax in all but name.

Settings such as natural apply to JPEG capture. Personally I use sRGB, Natural and +1 Sharpness. The reason for the latter is fotoLibra which now forbids any Photoshop sharpening but will accept a small degree of in-camera sharpening.
Best regards, John

John what exactly you mean by +1 sharpness? I can follow the other settings you mention but can't find where I can apply +1 sharpness in the menus.
Thanks

Press Fn and then OK. You can scroll down through settings for Hue, Saturation, Sharpness, etc.

once you've 'played' with the Custom Image settings in the Fn menu is it possible to reset them back to the default out of the box settings without resetting all of the Custom Settings?
