Treated myself to a K-r with the 50-200 lens last Monday by way of an early Christmas present and I'm very impressed with it so far.

I'm a lapsed amateur photographer, had a chemical SLR in my youth, the family arrived and a simple point and shoot seemed a better option.

I had a simple Minolta digital but have now decided to take the hobby a bit more seriously.

I'm gradually working through the manual and generally playing with the camera to get used to it, isn't a digital wonderful for this, no expensive developing to find out you got things wrong.

One thing has got me baffled, the manual index mentions a Blue Sky setting on page 92 but when you look there is nothing there, I e-mailed Pentax Europe but they just quoted the manual, anyone with a K-r know what this is and how to use it.

Regards
Mike

Thanks for the explanation, I hadn't noticed that as I read the book of words, must have missed it.
