Jackie, I know what you mean now, was a bit lost with what you meant.

It has to do with your screen mode, press F to cycle through them or use the menu.
window>screen mode>normal

ps. great minds think a like as you see

Glad to hear you had a marvellous week Martin, welcome back

Great photos so far, really liked the 4th one with the sand.
it's dynamic and I like the colours which go well together and are separated by the dark horizon, very nice

How many shots did you make in total?

I use lightroom but I've no idea what you're talking about Jackie
Could you make a screen shot where those icons must appear?

Like said George I'm not sure about the third pin but for example the battery of the K7 has 3 contacts I believe and one of them is for temperature, that's where my suggestion came from.

Galoot you can always shoot in B&W right?

I believe we already had a topic about this, since I knew the biggest then I believe I would win again.

Cheating a bit here since it is with camera.


Peter this one is a mere 635Kg

better link link

.... and the green hexagon at the bottom of the viewfinder.

Screen shot of the KM viewfinder, you don't see the red squares though.

Couldn't the third one be temperature, I believe some battery packs have them?
Simply suggesting things here.

If you really don't know you could try something like this maybe? link

If you have a high score then try this test to see what of color vision deficiency you have.
It comes from Wikipedia

#1 if you can not see the number 37 you've Protanopia



#2 if you can not see the number 49 you've Deuteranopia



#3 if you can not see the number 56 you've Tritanopia



#1 Protanomaly (1% of males, 0.01% of females): Having a mutated form of the long-wavelength (red) pigment, whose peak sensitivity is at a shorter wavelength than in the normal retina, protanomalous individuals are less sensitive to red light than normal. This means that they are less able to discriminate colors, and they do not see mixed lights as having the same colors as normal observers. They also suffer from a darkening of the red end of the spectrum. This causes reds to reduce in intensity to the point where they can be mistaken for black. Protanomaly is a fairly rare form of color blindness, making up about 1% of the male population. Both protanomaly and deuteranomaly are carried on the X chromosome.

#2 Deuteranomaly (most common - 6% of males, 0.4% of females): Having a mutated form of the medium-wavelength (green) pigment. The medium-wavelength pigment is shifted towards the red end of the spectrum resulting in a reduction in sensitivity to the green area of the spectrum. Unlike protanomaly the intensity of colors is unchanged. This is the most common form of color blindness, making up about 6% of the male population. The deuteranomalous person is considered "green weak". For example, in the evening, dark green cars appear to be black to Deuteranomalous people. Similar to the protanomates, deuteranomates are poor at discriminating small differences in hues in the red, orange, yellow, green region of the spectrum. They make errors in the naming of hues in this region because the hues appear somewhat shifted towards red. One very important difference between deuteranomalous individuals and protanomalous individuals is deuteranomalous individuals do not have the loss of "brightness" problem.

#3 Tritanomaly (equally rare for males and females [0.01% for both]): Having a mutated form of the short-wavelength (blue) pigment. The short-wavelength pigment is shifted towards the green area of the spectrum. This is the rarest form of anomalous trichromacy color blindness. Unlike the other anomalous trichromacy color deficiencies, the mutation for this color blindness is carried on chromosome 7.[17] Therefore it is equally prevalent in both male & female populations. The OMIM gene code for this mutation is 304000 “Colorblindness, Partial Tritanomaly”.

Have Sandisk extreme III 2GB and 8GB

Use the 2GB as back-up and that one is in a SD cover that it was suplied with.

Why sandisk.
because they were the most respected but will go for Toshiba now, their white cards seem to be very good.

For transfer, I use the card reader that was packed with the SD-card, it's very fast.

I've never had a problem so far.

ps. am I the only one that thinks Toshiba might be very good?
