Some notes on calibration here link

If you find a site with a test, you can sometimes download their calibrated profile. I did that for a Samsung tested by TFTCentral and it was better than the one I'd done myself with Huey and Argyll

Don't forget that you can buy Alkaline and Silver batteries. I never bother with alkaline you can get silver quite cheap on ebay. Renata are quite good. It might even take Lithiums if one's on to of the other.

The Lithiums actually came out as a cheaper alternative to silver, but cost more now days.

Superb shots, nice and sharp with lots of detail. The only fault I can see is the pruned branch on No: 3 possibly darken it or crop it?

Interesting to see them feeding seed to the young ones like that. I had a family in a nest box, but once they were able to fly they took off somewhere else, haven't seen them since, but they may use the box again, they often do

It's a shot worth keeping and opening it in another window it looks a lot better. If you can recover the highlights it should sharpen up.

When you bought into Pentax you also opted out of most magazine reviews.
The topic has been well covered on numerous occasions. Just enjoy the nice pictures, until you get fed up of articles on fill in flash,ND10 filters oh and not forgetting the all time classic, how to hold the camera.

Don't forget the Pinhole Camera...... sick of seeing
articles about them

The sound codec used isn't recognised by Media Player Classic?
It plays on VLC, but I've always found that to have poor sound
quality anyway.

It does sound like the AGC has pushed up the background noise.

I've not tried Video on the K20D yet. Sound on miniDV recorders
isn't too bad.

I'm surprised no ones jumped on the Pentax AFT1 & AFW1 combined
The wide converter just needs a piece of tracing paper etc.
fixing to it and it becomes a perfect flash diffuser that fits
better than any bought one
