SRS for the service, no question !

With the Hanimex macro lens, you will need to delve into the menu of the camera and turn on " use aperture ring " likely to be in the " C " section of the menu and possibly on the last screen if it's similar to the K5.

More than likely, the only other possible option is to check the batteries are correctly inserted into the gun, OH, just thought, the Hanimex is quite an old gun and it may not like rechargeables, try a set of std AA's.

It sounds like the flash is'nt working, firstly, dont put it in the hotshoe, you could FRY the electronics, you need to check the trigger voltage first.

For flash to work you will need to have a shutter speed on or below 1/160 sec or select the X setting on the camera.

Moving on to the gun, is there a manual test button, does this light up and if you press it, does the gun fire,

If the answer is yes to the above, DONT try it in the hotshoe.

if the answer is No, it would appear the gun's not working, unless you've dud batteries.

The easiest way is to use a set of radio triggers, from China expect to pay around £15, various makes available in the UK from around £35 upwards.

My older version of PS is'nt able to open the K5's RAW files so DNG is the obvious solution, I can't see any noticable difference and like you I save them as Tiffs once I've decided the " keepers " and delete the DNG's.

Thankyou for all the contributions

Excellent link bluenose82, Thank you, anyone on PU had first hand experience ?

Hi all, I've been wondering for a while wether to invest in a Tablet to use in portrait sessions linked with a Eye Fi card ans poss PK Tether to have an immediate download that the model could also view.

Does anyone know if this combo would work, has anyone used it successfully ?

I don't own a laptop, have a net book but the screen's quite narrow when viewing in portrait mode.

Suggestions / options very welcome.

You can set it up to track changes or ignore deletions even on separate drives, so you could have a " master " drive where nothing is ever deleted, but new files are added, disc space is then the key.

I don't set the software to " auto sync " I start it manually, so as long as you've not realised you've deleted something accidently before you back-up, you should be able to copy / paste the original from a back up.
