It's a difficult area of photography, so well worth getting to grips with.

No, don't try to wind them up, even gently. There's no point and someone will escalate it into an argument.

They jumped in very fast to quiz your motivation at posting!

Pictures may be in the cache on your computer, so a forced refresh should allow the new ones to show instead.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if something like the second option didn't appear. There could be a whole wave of new hybrid cameras on the way, either 4/3 mount or maybe a K mount compatible one. Who knows, I'm guessing, but it seems reasonable to expect.

Under those circumstances I would clean the battery contacts and the lens contacts and try again. You've tried a new memory card.

Removing the battery for a while and then reinserting and starting again can clear a locked up camera. A "cold boot" I suppose.

A colour print on photographic paper won't stand up to direct sunlight - you need a Cibachrome, Ilfochrome or whatever it's called now to do that.

It's sensible to wall mount any picture out of direct sunlight. After all, art galleries shield their windows to keep the paintings safe.

The most common reason for this is using the internal flash to fire an external flash. The pre-flash triggers the main flash and then when the shutter releases on the second flash from the internal flash unit there is no exposure and a blank frame results.

This doesn't happen with the K7 which can be set to trigger a slave flash either with or without the internal flash contributing to the exposure. Works brilliantly with current Pentax flash units.

IMHO £21 would be an acceptable premium to pay SRS for the benefit of their outstanding service, but in any event you could phome Chris and see what he could do about it anyway.

It's good to talk....

I'm not a big fan because the quality is invariably very poor.
