The reason for big close up is, It's just the BBC being their usual sexist self. The sooner they are shut down the better. They sacked a male presenter off Springwatch for being white and male. link

Whoever approved the shot knows nothing about cameras or Pentax or else they would have shown her with a big butch Canon like a real men use

They even have an article about a female baby photographer on their website. Is that news? The photos are OK, but it seems to be a book promotion which isn't allowed.

I'm all for 50/50 and most of my favourite bookmarked photographers are female just can't stand the BBC attitude. For a corporation that has always been equal pay and opportunities since the 1930's they are a disgrace.

One of my favourite togs ......

The most accurate method of using on camera flash is with a lens that accepts a GN and then opens and closes the aperture automatically to the correct aperture.

I wonder if Pentax could do this via a firmware update

A certain other company did produce one from around 1969..... Brillliant!

Perhaps Fuji run Adobe Flash Player I'm sick of how often it needs updating on my PC

Do reviewers now state that Fuji's need an update. Does that also make the reviews out of date

Thank God for Pentax

It's a different kettle of fish!

I am very surprised that they have brought a separate battery grip for the KP. The type of market they seem to be aiming at wouldn't want to make the camera bigger.

Glad that your sorted and other people aren't confused

I'm a bit confused myself about what happens if I chose APPLY ALL to a lens that already has an ID in the database with the value set. The manual says that in that case it will use the APPLY ALL value, but what happens if I then use other lenses and eventually go back to the first lens? I presume it reverts to the stored value, but I might be expecting it to use the APPLY ALL value. Bit tricky that one and could lead to errors.

Oddly I've never seen anyone asking for clarification/improvement on this, but it relates to actual camera usage and not the hugely popular fondling or ticking off check lists So I don't expect to see it
