Info screen on K200D question

Posted 24/09/2011 - 21:05 Link
Pentaxphile is right, the display does go off on the K200D, as it does with my K10D/K20D. But the K-5 stays on ala Canon.
Personally I prefer the old way of the display going off, rather than the new way with the k-5, as I find it distracting when I hold the camera to the eye. At least I can still get the info through the viewfinder or top LCD screen, which is what I prefer.

horses for courses - much of my photography the camera is on a tripod hence I prefer it to stay on - can you not switch it on the K5 so it doesn't stay on ?

Yep you can, I have my k7 set up that way.

Think it was in the custom settings.
