There is a setting for it, yes.... Custom menu, "Green button in TAv & M". I have it on 2, you might want 1.

mmmmh, 24-70. I have the FA 28-70 and it's great for a walkabout range, but 24-70 would be even nicer. Is the focus OK?

Bret

RAW all the way here, too. Got 300 shots from the ice track this afternoon batchprocessing for further selection as I write....

I have half a bag of manuals and really like them. The haptics are lovely.....and the image rendering is very different, which is great when you've got to know it.

Bret

ISO400 gives the greatest dynamic range on a K10D according to dpreview and Pentax appear to want to give that impression, too. I'll find the quote later.

I've been playing, and I cannot see the grain any more on images taken at ISO 640 IF - and ONLY if - the pic is mildly over-exposed.

Underexposure brings out the spots big time. So set exposure to +0.7 and away you go, you can shoot up to ISO1000 without issues.

I tend to use 100 for the "important" stuff.

Bret

30s of google shows that that k-x is not supported yet as far as PEF is concerned and that you're not the only one.

.. 110 thingy with truprint films...I grew up in the 80s. Then nothing until 2002 when I got a Dimage 7. Used that until three years ago, when I got my K10D.

SR should be off when using flash?!

You should also be able to sync at 1/4000 with a compatible flash.

Bret

save as tiff.

Where are you getting them printed? Check the colour profiles from there, too, and if you haven't calibrated your monitor yet, now would be a good time to do it.

You could always as for some "test" prints; a single decent shot at full size and then smaller ones of the final prints.

I disagree with Adobe on many fronts. Pricing, licencing and ability to fix bugs on a reasonable timescale are those.
Ergo: I have an issue with Potatochop.

I don't have an issue with PP. I do quite a lot; blackpoint, curves, clones, heals, WB, Exposure corrections, smart sharpening (using masks on the Luminosity and sharpening the mask). "Photoshopping" has become a verb across much of the interwebz that explains everything worth1000.com stands for.

I use PP to improve and save pics. I have a christening to do in a couple of weeks; it will take probably 8 hours computer work afterwards to create three dozen images. That's fine by me, they are friends and I intend to deliver quality shots. It's also excellent practice for the next paying gig...
