IR has a unique look of its own, but you need excellent underlying images as well, and you've certainly achieved that here.

Mode>Desaturate is the way to go if there is only a red image. presumably you have used an IR filter. If there's a bit of colour then Channel Mixer first.

After that, levels or curves should be enough to create the optimum effect.

It is indeed. It's the best point at which to get a good deal costwise, which individuals will weigh against wanting something newer at a higher price.

What price progress?

Yes, now is the best chance to get a K-5 at a great price. The replacement will undoubtably be more expensive and, although it may well have improvements, waiting means we're always avoiding buying. That way a lot of time and a lot of fun can pass us by.

Colin, I've corrected the title for you.

Perhaps a handful of people whinged about it, so they thought OK why not. The silent majority might have been quite happy as it was.

This is what it's always difficult to know. Personally, I don't use the green button so it ain't an issue for me, but I know many people do.

Glad it got sorted.

The lens correction works very well - I used this when document copying.

Try giving the battery a firmer push, just in case you're being a bit too careful. If the lever hasn't moved to fully secure the battery, you could try just pulling it forwards in case something has stuck.

With a firm push on the battery the lever should just click into place. It holds the battery securely when in the correct position.

It doesn't sound right at all. If you open the door, looking from the direction of the back of the camera there is a small grey catch on the left of the hinge. It's quite obvious, so if it's missing you should see the small notch where it should be.
