Good Morning, looking for a bit of quick advice please, turned on my PC the last few mornings and as it's booting, a message comes up " Low System Battery " press F1 to continue or F2 to setup.

I'm ok with delving into the casing, but is this a DIY job and whats involved please, do I need to make a note of settings and where from ?

The systems a 7-10 year old Dell

Many Thanks in advance

In terms of the Flebay Studio lights,

I purchased a set 3+ years ago for about £250 delivered, as I was'nt sure how I'd get on with them, ( had some jessops units 15+ years ago and did'nt get much use so sold them )

The ebay ( Link Delight )ones are excellent, get used at least once a month, transported in car, really pleased, imo no need to spend any more for moderate useage.

If you shoot in RAW it does not matter as you can change it at the processing stage, if jpeg I'd likely use Cloudy for a slightly warmer feel.

Hiya Chris,

Thanks for the info, I'd expect the image to auto ratate when reviewing in portrait mode, i.e turning the camera 90 deg to view the full image on the screen as the K7 does,

It's not happening for some reason, been back to Pentax last week as well.

Cheers

Hi All,

Have a K5 for a few months now, and when taking a portrait the initial view shows on the rear screen in portrait mode, then when going back to the image it won't rotate 90 deg to portrait view.

The camera's been back to Pentax ( only got it back today ) for another problem + this one. Am I expecting it to do something it wont ?

I've all the check boxes ticked that say " save rotation info " and the menu screen rotates to portrait view.

I should also say that the K7 ( still got ) rotates the image so why wont the K5.

Does anyone have an answer or suggestion please.

Cheers
