Ok, It seems that everytime you install s/w on to Windows XP it creates a link in the registry. Therefore if an idiot like me installs anything twice (in my case Pentax utility 4) it has 2 links in the registry and strugles to know which user to open with. "I re-installed the s/w 3 times"

PC in the shop tomorrow to get sorted

Hi techno,

Having trouble with Digital Camera Utility 4 S/W. Installs ok but wont open. Tries to open but error message comes up "PTXUTL40. has encountered a problem and needs to close"

Any ideas.

Thanks for the comments, just wish I could get decent normal shots Looking at doing some courses/lessons soon.

Hi Barrie / Tim,

I was using the kit lens 18-55 and shooting in jpeg. I guess to shoot in raw I would need to be more confident.

Cheers

Just having fun experimenting this morning

Ok first pics with help required.
The waterfall shot is too dark but how do I brighten without making it soft, keep crisp. (iso 1600 / shut 1/100 )

The tunnel pic I got brighter by changing the iso but it became soft
(iso 800 / shut 1/30

Hello all,

Photographic virgin here from South Bucks. Well maybe not a complete virgin but very amateur. Have been using a Casio EX-FH20 for most of last year so thought I should get a real camera and possibly some lessons.
Read all the reviews and spoke to lots of knowledgeable stores and decided on the Kx which seems to be a good camera with lots of features and good for learning with.

Very interested in motorsport photography and visit UK tracks fairly frequently especially Brands hatch. (so lots panning shots )

Have been taking a few shots over the last couple of days and discovered I have lots to learn so hopefully your critique will help. (it certainly will be required)

The main issue I have so far is light, my pictures so far seem to be soft and low light which I’m sure is me not the camera. Anyway I will post some shots soon and await your critique/advice.

Thanks for reading

Derek
