Personally I don't like that menu dial - too Canonish. Give me Algernon's version instead! Classic Pentax.

Hey, well spotted. That's the full frame version and what a bargain price!

Edit:
Be great if the new one was FF and had identical controls to that. It's what some have been asking for.

As a non smart phone owner has anyone used a flu card with Firefox or IE on a normal PC or laptop?

This may be of some interest, though the writer is commenting on use of a non Pentax DSLR but no doubt things aren't that different.

What makes you think a long shutter speed affects noise reduction? I'm pretty sure it is only a high ISO that causes it to kick in if the camera is set for it to do. A long shutter speed with a low ISO would have little, if any, noise to reduce, so why would it need to be applied?

If the camera setting is correct, the photo was taken around 9.30pm so it must have been practically dark. I presume the tower is illuminated with artificial light and to expect the treescape and sky to appear normal wouldn't be as it was.
However I agree with Gwyn that the main issue is with the composition of the photo which must have been the tower and its reflection. I feel a vertical image may have looked preferable with the tower anything but central.

Have a look at page 42 of the manual which deals with noise reduction and the settings options.
