Well- I got it working. Now I am playing with it to see how my pictures are going to come out, and what might work best as to where to place it or bounce it...

It seems that I had some missing information.


Thank you. I am going to try that later today and see if I can get it to work!

I updated my firmware and should be able to use this flash wireless now, but I can't figure out what settings to use.

IN camera 1 =built in flash fires as master
2= built in flash as controller

Tried both settings and flash in wireless mode(switch to middle), Tried setting as master, controller, and slave with CH 1,2, and 3. I can't seem to find a combination that works.... very frustrating....

My remote seems to work pretty well with my K100D. The lens usually focuses pretty well before the shutter is released. I am finding that even though I set in the custom settings to autofocus before the shutter is released, the K10D is not doing a very good job of that.

I have been doing some self portriture that requires I use the remote. I am finding that I need to try to focus first on an object near a place that I will be standing/sitting. It would be much easier if the remote triggered the autofocus, and it would actually work correctly.

Has anyone had this problem, or have any ideas about why it is not working as accurately as it should?

Thank you. I think I will buy a second external drive, plus start burning them to DVD's. I will be sure to get the R.

Since I started to work with RAW images, I have found that my desktop space is getting used up very quickly. I am backing up to an external hard drive. I am feeling like I eventually need to clean out my internal hard drive, but would like a second place to store them. I was wondering what others do. Should a get another external hard drive, or maybe start burning them to either CD's or DVD's? I am feeling a little unorganized at this point...

Yes, you have to be careful with the rechargable CRV3's. I ruined my istD by using them. It now does not always know when I am using regular CRv3's. It says the battery is dead, even when they are new. The problem happens randomly, and can cause quite a problem if there is no backup camera.

OK- thank you. I guess if I don't want to miss a raw shot, I will need to actually set it to take either all raw, or raw and jpeg, instead of using the button. Otherwise I am missing some shots that I would have liked to have in raw.

I set the custom settings so that the raw button should stay active until you press it again. In spit of that, it turns off after one or two shots. Sometimes I need to press it several times to even have it come on.

I was just working on leaning how to set up actions last night. I tried to set one up for resizing. I am going to try it tonight and see if what I tried to set up actually works!
