I can't see the magazine coming back, unless the new Pentax Ricoh company want to pay for it, as it was I think costing money to produce.

There have always been unlimited uploads for PU subscribers, so nothing has changed in that respect, so I don't see how that in itself would affect quality.

The main value point of the PU membership for me is supporting the site so it can remain viable and also getting the 20% discount on servicing. There is something concrete to be gained by being a member.

The only thing that's difficult to quantify is the loss of the magazine, but then the subscription has been dramatically reduced.

In Tv you use the rear wheel to increase the shutter speed. In Av you open up the aperture and the shutter speed will increase to compensate.

If there isn't enough light the only other option is to increase the ISO value.

I use an X90 for all my eBay pictures - it makes an ideal camera for that. It's also got many possibilities as a general purpose camera, but isn't as fast or easy to use in the field as a DSLR such as the K-r.

It just goes to show how well meaning advice can cause other problems! The advice was right, but needed qualifying as to how long the camera would be left unused.

All my cameras have batteries in, fully charged and ready to go, unless they are to be unused for many months, in other words are being stored rather than used.

If you set a given ISO and then make sure the memory is set to remember last settings then next time you switch on the setting will be the same.

However, if you take the battery out after a while the memory will be lost, so keep the battery in and charged so the camera is always ready for use. Only take the battery out if the camera is to be unused for months or longer.

There are lots of things that have been done here to try and make things better for everyone and offer new functionality. The basic reason for being here is to give Pentax Users a place to discuss and learn more about their Pentax cameras/lenses and photography.

The discussion forum is intended as a safe environment where people won't be jumped on for asking a question that's been asked before and where help is at hand. The content of the forum depends on what the members write, so the team have no input over that. If people write good stuff the forum will be filled with good stuff.

The rest of the site is an editorial area, so ideas should be sent by PM to PentaxDan, who co-ordinates. From time to time the editorial team ask for suggestions, so that's always a good moment to put in some sensible ideas. Unfortunately the last time there was an opportunity the thread descended rapidly into nonesense, so then it's more difficult to make something positive out of it.

As for traffic, this forum has never been busier, which is great, but we all look at many different places on the internet and that's also great. There's room for everyone.

If you scroll to the bottom of a page you will find some options including Report Problem/Suggestion. Click this and it will take you to the report section. Please give as much specific detail as you can so IT can see where the problem lies.

Menu>Sensitivity>set 200>Click OK.

Also:

Menu>Memory>Ensure Sensitivity is ticked. If not click OK to set it and then return to the menu. Now the camera will memorise whatever ISO was last set.
