What is the maximum side SD card I can use in my K100D?
Whatever size you can get your hands on. There is no limit
I suspect there is a limit.

I will clarify. There is a limit as such as to what you can buy 8gig i think but no limit as too what you can put into the camera
Correct me if i am wrong George
I would definitely think you are wrong, but I'll let Matt explain. He deals with this sort of thing every day.

My K10D image serial number is heading towards 7000 and I wandered what happened after it got to 9999. Does it grow a digit or wrap around?

Anyone got there yet?
imgp0001.pef

Four or five times on a *ist D.

It's irritating that they didn't provide one more order of magnitude.

George I thought you said in an earlier post that the K10 goes up too 100,000.:
I don' think so. I might have been talking about its expected life, but not where it resets its image numbers.

It's fairly obvious that a number in the form 0001 will go up to more than 9999.

Now I'm going to sit down and have a good study of the thing, and package up my AF-360FGZ safely ready for eBay.
Keep it. One flash good; two flashes much better.

would changing your computers date work? Fool the pc/printer that the inks were still usable?
Good idea.

If the scene you're shooting is high contrast then there is a good chance part of the detail will be beyond the Dynamic Range of the camera & that detail is lost. Using an ND grad in these situations ensures that ALL the detail in the scene is captured.

Simon
Good point.

One thing to remember is that the Pentax sensors are significantly smaller than the 35mm frame. When Cokin says that 20mm is the widest lens you can use, they are (probably) talking about film. You should be able to use a wider lens on digital without vignetting.

I use a 49mm step-down ring on my 100mm macro lens which takes a 58mm filter, and there is no problem.

The two common filters that can't be replaced by software are the polariser and the UV/skylight filters. (I'm talking about colour, not monochrome.)

These provide the sensor with more information, whilst other filters tend simply to change the colour balance or add those "special effects" so beloved by wedding photographers and others of like mind.

One other filter that does have a use is a non-graduated ND that can be used to allow the use of a slow shutter speed in strong light.
