New government initiative to reduce the amount of junk food eaten by children at school fails, as mothers find ways to circumvent the ban.

I have it set to shake on startup and I have had far fewer problems with dust than on my DS. As to degrading the lifetime of the unit, I suspect that by the time it fails I'll be using a K1D Super [Lewis Hamilton Edition] (or whatever!)

I'd like to see a higher-res version, but it seems to have done a good job stitching the images together as I can't see any obvious joins.

Mars perhaps? Actually the beach at St Bee's Head.

It's a reflection of your flash from a dust particle. It's a particular problem with P&S cameras due to the small distance between the flash unit and the lens which causes light to come back at a small angle off the dust particles. Quite a few people thought they had discovered "angels" or "ghosts" or "orbs" some other ethereal beings, and there is quite an Internet sub-culture in mis-attributing these phenomenons. To prove it is dust, shake some talc in a room and take another photo.

Clarky, you need to download the Pentax Remote Assistant Software, then use the USB cable to connect camera and computer.

Take a large pinch of salt with most things that you read on depressingreview.com It tends to be inhabited by nit-picking fault-finders with kanikon axes to grind!

Is that a dust spot on your sensor or a bird above the horizon? Apart from that all I can do is complain about the unfairness of you living in such a beautiful place!

Try taking the batteries out for a couple of hours - I recall something in the manual about this in relation to static electrical charges.
