Surely people wouldn't consider entering a screen grab from a film as an original work so wonder why you felt the need to say this? Maybe I too have misunderstood what's wanted for this to be stated as that seems pretty obvious.

Do you mean that if you have a personal photo taken on the set of a real film, that is ineligible? Or you come across a TV series being filmed and take a photo, that would not be eligible?

So in effect do you want entrants to make up a film and a title for it with a publicity photo to promote it like a poster or lobby card?

It isn't too bad a price compared to recent USA eBay sales.

Thanks for sharing your time and findings. If anyone wishes to read your blog page in English, here's a link to a Google translated version:

The translation has some anomolies such as 'the K-1 user who eats self-focusing.' Tasty!

Forgot to add. For my type of shooting the extra knob on the too is almost permanently set to Crop. This enables me to quickly switch using the new thumb wheel between FF and crop. For occasions when I need additional reach, faster AF or faster FPS.
This brings the conversion is it better to shoot in crop mode,,,Or zoom into and crop the larger original file... when you get home....?
TBH It doesn't really make any difference if filling the frame can't be accomplished with the lenses available. Eg the image of a small bird will cover the same pixels whichever mode is set at a given focal length. Filling the full frame has to be the best aim where possible. Having the full frame image rather than a cropped one also gives more options as to framing the subject.
The crop mode can be considered the same as using a digital zoom which is how it will show on the live-view screen..

Getting the card out of slot 1 is more fiddly than slot 2. So i use 2 as my first card. How to make the camera record to slot 2 first.... put a card in slot2 only and switch on, then switch off and insert a card in slot 1. The camera will now use slot 2 first.
I duplicate RAW + JPEG in both slots, just in case one card goes bad.

Well as I said, that didn't seem to worry Welcome to Yorkshire, the County's tourist board !

Whatever worked for your Pentax APS-C files should work just the same for those from the K-1. They're similar, just larger!
