Suggestions to Pentax
I'd like to see a wireless slave flash base able to operate any hotshoe or PC connected flash. Functionality would depend on what flash you attached but I'd expect it to support the older Pentax flash features such as Program Flash and the "ready" icon. Given the cameras already do this it surely wouldn't be that hard.
Shooting the Welsh Wilderness with K-m, KX, MX, ME Super and assorted lenses.
A wrieless flash system that can let you controll the output of the flash from the camera if the flash is set on manual. That would be so great for strobist photographers.
All pentax DSLR already have 4 channels, if it would use all channels you could controll 4 groups in total, more then enough for most.
I'd prefer if the manufacturers would adopt a common protocol standard... with bluetooth..
Indeed but i would need to buy new flashes and a new camera... but it would be more future proof though!
And since many computers and smartphones has bleuthooth they should be able to make a "studio" program for it maybe

Enable the green button to instantly reset the +-exposure compensation.

I had a look in the manual, but could not find it.
Would you be so kind and let me know , how to do it.

Simply press the exposure compensation button (without any need to hold it down) and then the Green Button. For the Green Button to work, you have to first indicate to the camera what you want it to reset. It works the same way for ISO and hyper program/program shift.
I have also discovered a quick way to switch back and forth between histogram and no histogram without having to scroll through all the screen display types.
Care to share please? I would like to know that

Sorry for the late response.
1) Bring up an image and, scroll thru the display options (INFO button) till the histogram shows up.
Now here is the short cut.
2) Simply press the OK button. The histogram will disappear but, the image will stay full-size. Then...
3) ...if you want to bring the histogram back up, simply press the INFO button again.
Just using those two buttons alternately allows you to switch back and forth between histogram and no histogram without having to scroll through all the screen display types.
