What if you look at the menu via the info button ( SR is bottom right ish ) can you switch it on from there ?

From the same couple of hours wandering around Cheltenham in the rain as the fillies uploaded yesterday. apart from the group of lads walking in Pittville and the horse in the shop, all were approached and asked for a portrait, none said Nay...........

A few hours spent on the streets of Cheltenham on a fairly wet Ladies day having a go at street portraiture, approaching and asking each lady before shooting, some refusals, but not many, they were keen to keep moving as the rain was light to medium heavy particularly as the morning wore on.

All K1 with Sigma 85mm F1.4 @ F1.4 - 100 ISO

That's excellent, particularly handheld

Thanks John, the deployment would have been planed way before the current situation in Ukraine, but they have been flying close to the region on occasions and its clear they wish to be seen as the transponders have remained switched on.

After a failed attempt a week or so ago, along with poor weather and work getting in the way, had a trip to Fairford this morning on the off chance of some B52 activity.

Take off K3iii with Pentax 70 - 200 F2.8 - 200 ISO - 1/500 to 1/640 sec / For landing I changed lens to the 150 - 450 @ 450 ( effective 695mm ) 200 ISO - 1/400 sec.

Just up




Full Power




Gear Up




Back on the Ground




This aircraft had an issue on landing and the crew got out very quickly once the aircraft had come to a halt, with full fire attendance, blocking the runway for 30 mins, looks to have been overheating brakes. ( heavy crop )

Ensure you have the right firmware for the camera, that you have extracted the .Bin file onto the SD card and that you must use slot 1 in the camera.

Double clicking on the original downloaded file ( k1II_v130.zip ) should also work and produce the .bin file you need to put onto the SD card.

Works superbly well against the dark sky, well held on the whites exposure wise.

Shouldn't be, a new update supersedes and updates all prev firmware upgrades
