Hourglass icon

Every time I take an image with the K-5IIs there is an hourglass icon on the display screen which gives a delay before the image shows. Any suggestions why this is happening? I shoot in RAW and use apurture priority. It's probably some setting which I've accidently changed. Thanks in advance

What type/speed card are you using - some of the older slower cards can cause this! Might be worth swapping to another card to see if its the same!

I'd check the control panel (info button to access) and check you don't have the following activated : Highlight correction / shadow correction/ lens and distortion corrections. These are not applicable to RAW only shooting and will slow down the camera image processing as they are still applied to the JPEG preview file.

Thanks for the help. Think it's sorted. Checked the info screen and the only thing that was "ON" was LAT-CHROMATIC Ab Adj which I have turned "OFF" and there is no delay now. Not sure how I switched this on, probably when I was checking "Shake" on or off. Now a Happy Chappy

Glad its sorted! Some of the ' Control Panel ' items have duplicate settings in the menu screens (you can set them in either place), so its easy to make a change and not see it. I often find it's a good idea to press Info and have a quick glance at the Control Panel before starting a shoot.... It shows a lot of key functions at a glance, the things that we don't often specifically adjust each time we start.

I've learned something..... I never knew that 'INFO' could be used for that. I thought it was just info about individual images! Thank you.

I do find the info button handy for changing the SR On/Off setting when using a tripod (best off) and forget to use the 2sec timer One good thing about the Forum, I never had a problem unanswered and solved.

If you manage to forget the 2 second timer, you will also manage to forget the SR

Or to switch it on again

I know, I wish it was an external switch like on the olde cameras

Or use mirror up with remote control, then SR automatically switches off. (and on again, after you go back to normal shooting).

I find I use the control panel for quick settings more than I need the full menu . One useful feature I would have on my wishlist is a customizable control panel, where you can configure for any chosen menu item to be available for quick access .... Certain things I use a lot, for example ' flash in wireless Mode' for choosing whether the pop-up adds to the illumination or not , would save me time and effort if I could place it into the control panel.

And of course we might want to remove items we don't use, like Filter effects for example ...a customisable control panel .... Come on Pentax!
