Any chance you can expand on that? According to the manual NiMH should work and certainly so if they are freshly charged and almost new. Also if eneloops are needed what capacity (mAh)are required to make it work? The Pentax Support site simply states :-
K200D AA Battery Types

Q: What type of batteries can be used with the K200D

A: The K200D can be powered by four AA lithium batteries, four AA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries or four AA alkaline batteries. Note: Use of AA alkaline batteries is not rcommended except for emergency use or checking the camera's functionality.
To work properly the batteries need plenty of "Welly!" and
"Ooomph!" which can't be measured on a meter. I used to use
Sanyo Cadnica's and Panasonic NiMh (Made in Japan) on a
*istDS without any problems. Sanyo Eneloops are about the
closest nowadays. http://www.vapextech.co.uk/ are also good.

Ricehigh has quite a bit about AA's in a K-x on his site

I like the green leaf best Stu A true Work of Art...
Is it symbolic of the Fig-Leaf that Adam used to
wear.... hung up on the washing line by Eve to dry?

I've never been able to understand why people use a mouse
The Logitech TrackMan Marble Optical is much better and can be used
on the arm of a chair etc. ebay_link £27 posted.

I've never used a pen on a PC.

These are great again... I really like the titles
I believe I can fly is my favourite, but it was hard to
chose.

I've never owned a 50-200mm, but I'm impressed at a lot of
the photos I've seen from it .... sharp with nice bokeh

Excellent stuff! I was wondering about turning off my SR, but its so awkward to do on the K5 compared to my K20d!
Easy! Peasy! Press the Info button twice to show
the 2nd screen on the LCD move down to the bottom right
icon and switch off or on.

Nice shots Alan.... apart from the Rat

Both excellent lenses and way underpriced. For many years
the F version was my favourite with the SFXn.... It cost £255
for the lens alone in the early 90's

Wide open at f/4 they are both very close to a Pentax 50mm
at f/4. It all boils down to if you need AF or not.

If they are all on the + side you could enter Debug Mode
Hi Algi, thanks for this suggestion, very helpful. I know how to enter Debug Mode on the K-x, but how is it done on the K-5? Is the same modset file that is used for all cameras?

Regards
David
Ricehigh should have covered it all. link

The K-5 is similar, but you need to install PKTether
to turn it on via the USB lead link

Turn it off from the camera menu when done.

Don't adjust anything other than the correction amount under
debug..... See the K-x screenshots (similar to K-5).
