6. When mounting the camera on a tripod, be sure that the tripod screw is no longer than 5.5mm. This is the depth of the tripod socket on your camera. If you use a longer screw, you will probably puncture the bottom of the socket, after which the camera will not function properly.
7. In order to prevent large diameter lenses from interfering with proper mounting of the camera to the tripod, attach the Spacer Ring (packed with the camera) between camera and tripod.

For example, on holiday Sue and I use a card per day each, making it easier to keep track of what was shot, where and when. Each card's images are a separate folder on the computer later on, all dated and all in order.

There are too few Patrick Moores around and now, sadly, one less.

Merry Christmas to all!

It needs a firm push on the card, immediately moving the finger out of the way, and then a bit of dexterity to grip and remove the card.
It does get better with practice, but it's not great.

The 06 hood on the 02 lens would likely vignette.
All the Pentax lens hoods I have are very accurate as regards shielding the lens and even not clicking one home quite enough can cause vigetting with wider angles.

As for the focus screen being too dark to focus when the aperture is closed say at f12 , i just focus at f5.6 then close the aperture to f12 or what ever and take the shot.
The brighter image makes focusing easier, basically because there's enough light to focus by.
I've never used DOF preview because the screens are far too small to judge anything by.

There are plenty of adjustments in ACR and of course in PS there's not a lot that cannot be done with an image.
If I didn't need certain parts of the CS5 we use, I'd happily be using Elements.
