I'll have to check the instruction book Gwyn, but if that's the case it might well be worth a go.

I did think about the W90 for an action shot, but it was the potential heat that I thought might be too much.

I suppose I could try the washing machine on a 30C cycle, as the camera is usable up to 50C and waterproof for up to two hours. I'll have to check to see if it's got an interval timer function.

Well done Stuart, it will pay dividends on the next Manchester walk!

Very effective Chris, the tonal quality of the metal is fantastic.

Nearest neighbour samples left and right only and is only suitable for diagrams in presentations. Block graphs and the like.

Bilinear samples up and down as well as right and left, but is still pretty basic.

I presume Real Zoom is the same as bicubic, which samples diagonally as well and is the one of coice for photographic images.

That's a very simplified explanation but gets the idea across.

By the way, just how good are the kit lenses?

I have quite happily used the kit lenses for A3 competition prints and they have looked every bit as good as anything else.

We used the 18-55mm, the 16-45mm and now the 18-135mm.

It could well be, although I don't mind that splash of colour.

A Pentax-A lens should be OK, when set to "A" on the aperture ring. I'll try and double check if for some obscure reason that doesn't work with LV, although i don't see why it wouldn't.

Not on ours it doesn't. It works just as we'd expect it to, showing the f number in the display.

What lenses are you trying to use?

Ken suggested I might try the Q inside the washing machine, seeing he beat me to it with the fridge idea in this week's competition. I haven't gone for the washing machine, so the best I could do is the dishwasher. No water though!
