Comment by JoeHarryJames posted on Hue K20 problem at 30/10/2009 - 22:34
I have noticed on my K20 that photos taken with the K20 when viewed on the camera LCD dont match what I see. The colour hue seems to be several shades off. e.g beige appears white, its seriously pissing me off and making me consider going out and buying a nikon. I like the K20 but I feel unless I can get help I may regret my actions. Please advise.

HI everyone
Need some help with my settings.
I am trying to set up my K20 so that I can increase my shutter speed to around 250 while using my Sigma flash remotely.
The problem is it only lets me go to 180. The moment I pop open my onboard flash so that it can be used as controller immediately the shutter value goes to 180 and as I turn the wheel if I happen to turn the opposite way it will decrease the shutter value and just remain there. If the shutter value goes lower and if I try to increase it again it won't go.
But my main problem is wanting to increase the shutter value to 250 and it won't let me do it. I have tried M mode and still it just stops there.
Am I missing something here?
Can someone please shed some light into this?
I am trying to do some abstract work with smoke so I need as much light as possible from different angles while bumping the shutter value as high as possible, oh and keeping the iso at 100 as well.
Thank you
Amin
Thanks Amin you have saved me asking the same question about being limited to 1/180 flash speed when I want 1/250 or higher for sporting action. I have followed the various comments with great interest. maybe high iso and high shutter speed is the answer( I have not tried it yet)HI everyone

Over a year ago I was in a Jacobs branch in the west end, I remarked to the salesman about the apparent demise of Jessop shops to be closed down. He told me Jessops expanded far too swiftly and as a consequence they were having problems. He felt that if Jessops went bust they would throw out the life raft and hire some of their staff but not all.
It is more likely in my opinion that Jessops will go to the wall not Pentax

Once upon a time Jessops were good, you could buy anything and from knowledgeable people, now it gets up my nose, they tell customers “This is the best one for you” without any idea of what the person wants, and this is the way many high street stores are going and it B***Y annoys me.
The bosses make a quick profit, customers are ripped off, but more wiser and then wont use Jessops.
Hence the huge losses they have made for the last 2 years.
I say just use good shops like SRS and Pentax will be around for a very long time.

All camera screens are an approximation, so what you see on them is only a guide. You can change the brightness of the K20D screen but I'm not sure about the colour balance or hue. Check the manual to see what's in the menus.
