It looks like she is using a lens with an aperture ring that is not set to "A".

If the lens has no "A" stting then "enable use of aperture ring" needs to be set in the custom menus.

If it's a curent lens with no aperture ring, then clean the contacts with a dry cloth and try again. The lens may not be mounted and/or connecting correctly.

Hope that solves it!

Also, make sure that you are waiting for the previous shot preview display to finish. The e-dial will not work whilst the previous image is still showing.

There isn't any Michael, so there must be an error of some sort. I don't suppose for a second that it was intentional.

Why not give Pentax or JPS a call and see what their technical people say?

It can be done on the Q and we don't get much smaller than that. It just needs a minor redesign.

how often do you need remove the card from the camera?

Every time we transfer our images to the pc. Like many people, we use card readers and rotate cards. But then we do shoot a lot of images.

The whole point of DNG is that it's an open format, so something seems amiss here.

I can open RAW files from the Q in Photoshop without any problem.

The tiny Q uses the same sustem as the K-5 but with a bit more room provided. Ironic indeed that the smaller camera allows more space for the fingers.

DNG is supposed to be a universal RAW format, so it should open OK. Is version 3.0 recent enough to support DNG? Does it need updating?

I suspect you didn't press the Add Comment button. I've done that myself before now.

You have switched on Bright/Dark Area in the playback menu. The red area indicates blown out highlights, the yellow are no detail just plain black. Just go into the menus and uncheck the appropriate box.

Don't know about the flashing screen offhand.

In that case, a return to JPS for a quote might be the best way forwards. My K10D was repaired for less than £100 and eventually went to my sister-in-law, who is still using it.
