I was using the 18-55 kit lens. Everything was set to manual and the zoom was not used (I was doing some multiple exposure shots), and I used the eyepiece cover, remembering the advice I had received years ago with reference to my LX body and its metering system.
Hmmm, yes it could be the EXIF which was not read properly. I was using PS Elements 6. Does anyone else have experience of this phenomenon with PSE 6?

I set my K10D to manual with exposure set at f8 and 1/30. I shot a series of remote images, using the eyepiece cover, which emerged at a range of different exposures from f7.1 to f10. When I select manual, I expect to use my own settings - what happened, and how did the camera override my settings?

How can I use my trusty AF400T hammerhead flash with my new K10D? I cannot run to the price of a new flash just yet! What accessories are necessary, and what features would be available and/or lost? Welcome any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
