The PEF's from my *istD are around 13Mb, how big are the ones from the K10D?

Hi Dave,

Have you tried NiMH batteries, or are you using Alkalines? My niece was having a similar problem with her Kodak compact at Christmas using brand new alkalines, but with the rechargeables from my camera it was fine.

Just a thought. Of course, it could be that the lens isn't quite aligned properly, so when it gets to full extension, it gets stuck, and the camera shuts down to stop any further damage.

How old is the camera, still under warranty?

I guess if you're doing a lot of fixed position studio work, it might make sense to run off the mains, but it does mean you've got an extra wire to trip over.

I got a Hama power supply for my D, but to be honest I think I've only ever used it once, when I was updating the firmware.

Is there really a need to get a PSU?

Is this because of a discrepancy between the manual (relating to firmware v1.00) and the installed firmware v1.10? If so, perhaps it would be a good idea for Pentax to release 'supplimentary pages' for the manual as pdfs, which you could then print off and pop in the back of the manual.

Looks like v.4 won't be released in Q1 of 2007 then!

...and that reminds me that I've had a roll of Velvia in my MZ-5n for the last 18 months. Seem to recall it's on frame 1.

Er, was down near Oxford on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and had sun, sun and sun. Lovely weather (bit cold, but this is January), clouded over saturday afternoon, but I don't see what everyone's moaning about.

Just looked out the window - Sun!

I don't see the point of that sharpening technique. Why oversharpen something, then have to 'fade' the sharpening to get the level you want? Why not just get it right to start with (by varying the USM % value etc), and do away with the extra step?

Seems a bit daft to me, perhaps I'm missing something though...

You could adapt a kit like this one:

although the longest interval is 60s with this. Playing around with resistor values may work though. :
