I'll pick up on the "too colourful" for a start as I always change my Pentax cameras to "Natural" - if you have them on the "Bright" default then it may be as simple as changing that setting.

We should look at as much photography as we can and gain ideas from that. Others are better, some not as good but as long as we are improving then there's hope!

The most sensible comment I found in all the conjecture was this:

It's the first I've heard of it as well.

I have heard of wheel control problems that were cured by a firmware upgrade, but that was the K-7 not the K-r.

Tim, it looks like one of our family holidays....I agree that it's great to be able to shoot images in all conditions. The colours and quality of the light become quite different and it's well worth exploring.

I would try a firmware upgrade fioirst and after that contact JP Solutions.

The K-r is not that old, so is the camera not still under warranty?

Even if switched off, as the laptop certainly is, I seem to be logged in for weeks at a time. Of course every now and then the server is rebooted and then I need to login again.

As for the main PC, that is in sleep mode when I'm asleep and does its updating then.

The way the site works usually suits me OK, but then as I do a lot of work on the PC I'm usually around and aware of what's going on and I don't have a huge backlog of posts to read.
