I don't think K5 as "dust alert".

Just looked, Spanner page 4.
D/A is there, but not high lighted for use!!!
Was that function really an extra, all those years ago..............?

Dust or hot pixels (the latter of which I know absolutely zilch!)?
Thanks for your time & help.

Yes, indeed, another slime mould.

when amassed together in a 25 image stack, they all gang up together in some amazing arrangements that appear all too readily in the final stack-image.
What sort of shot can I take to show all the spots on a single (printed) image, to indicate their position on the sensor?
Thanks in anticipation,
Roger.

I've become interested in these (Slime Moulds) of late.
They are beautiful in themselves &, what's more, they don't run away from a macro lens.
Read all about them & have a look for them.
You will find some!
They're interestingly small but not impossibly so!! (These are about 1.5 mm. tall)
I think there are some more "on the way" in the decayed wood foreground.
Thanks for looking,
Roger.
