You should be able to download the manual. Try Samsung first and then Google.

That's him Tim. I think the camera was still within
the guarantee period. I'm sure there was someone
else on here as well.

I'm only going off what I've read on this and other forums. There were a few people who got refunds or an alternative Samsung Camera because theirs couldn't be repaired due to lack of parts. The daft thing is that some are still/were under a 2 year guarantee and are not repairable. I expect others probably took out 5 year extended guarantees from the likes of Curry's.

One user who had a problem was called orange???? from Cardiff.

It will fit and work OK and can be made a snugger fit by filing off some of the plastic lip that moulds round the Pentax body, but is a bit in the way on the Samsung. The only problem if you do that is that the resale value as a Pentax grip plummets.

Better to try and get the proper Samsung one. Should be some available SH because I understand they can't repair the Samsung cameras any longer. Absolute disgrace if that's true I remember Nikon saying a few years ago when they discontinued a camera that they would be supplying spares for at least another 10 years. Think twice about buying anymore Samsung stuff.

It's not clear what lens has been used to show that example of purple fringing?
Not a very good lens whatever it is..... Look at the green fringing round the white window frame?

I couldn't believe that either a Pentax DSLR with the flash
popped up on the Harry & Paul Show.

Just looked at Farstone Image Viewer it has a Create Contact Sheet Builder.
Just select a directory with photos in it... leave everything set at default and it produces a contact sheet with drop shadows under each photo.

Won't the free Farstone viewer or Ifranview do it?

You can download the free software for the time being it's supposed to have a few sample shots to practice on.

This ebay auction has some good quality lens photos, but the colour balance is wrong. The black of the lens shows up as brown?
