I'm not sure if the procedure is exactly the same as that for the K-5, but the K-5 manual says use a white piece of paper. At some point you will also need to release the shutter so the camera can take the balance.

I think we need someone with a K-01 to jump in and confirm the details. If you're still stuck later I'll have a look at the maual online.

Very comprehensively, in terms of image quality from the lens as well.

It's been done before by many different people, but this one wasn't done by Pentax.

There was an advert that ran some time ago showing a Nikon SLR that had survided after falling from a helicopter, in Vietnam I think. There have bee TV shows that tried to destruction various compacts by driving over them.

Nothing new, just a bit of fun from the phoblographer.

I'm not sure the K-01 is intended to be something ultra-compact, but it's compact enough to look rather good next to an ME. That in itself is fairly compact, very compact by the standards of other marques.

A long way from any sort of disaster IMHO.

That photo of the yellow K-01 with the 55mm SDM, nestled next to an ME, looks pretty smart.

It's probably a capacitor as if you leave the camera with no battery in it for long enough the settings will be lost.

Something has to ensure the various memory items are kept intact whilst batteries are changed, or if they run down.

It's pentax accessories Stan, such as lens hoods, lens caps, cables, chargers, etc. There's a list somewhere - try under the Shop tag.

There should be no effect like you describe Steven.

Have a look at the two PU articles I've done on sharpening. One covers simple use of Unsharp mask and the other a technique using Lab mode.

Sharpening is a huge subject, but in its simplest form perfectly effective. Providing it's not overdone.
