JAK, my Q is at default brightness.

I wouldn't generally be using a DSLR screen to compose, otherwise it might as well be a K-01. DSLRs' strength is their optical pentaprism finder.

That's an unobtrusive kit?

Seriously, I travel as light as possible, but for quite large amounts of kit stil recommend the Billingham Hadley Pro. You might need the Hadley Large, but the principle is the same.

1. Unobtrusive design.
2. Very water resistant.
3. Easy access to equipment.
4. Thin profile so bag hugs the body and is comfortable and compact to carry.
5. No wasted space.
6. Excellent equipment protection.

I'll check this with my Screw Mount Guide sometime tomorrow, but at this moment part of the area I work in is being decorated and things have been shifted in the way!

That's interesting Adrian1 and I'm going to have to slighrly disagree. I have used my Q on bright sunny days and find the screen "adequately usable". I confess that I am aided in this being very short-sighted, so I cup my hand over the screen and look at it over the top of my glasses.

I think it merits each individual trying it out for themselves as it will depend very much on individual eyesight.

JPS are the official Pentax repair house, so I suggest you start there. Phone them to establish they can still service the *istD. If this is affirmative then consider joining "Pentax User Plus" which will entitle you to 20% discount on the repair.

Community>Plus Membership and Shop>Exclusive Discounts are the places to start.

Try using centre weighted metering - you will need to use exposure compensation for very light or very dark subjects, but overall you should get very little over exposure.

Please only post onece in the forums, to avoid confusion. This is already posted in another thread.

The *istDS uses SD cards, so do you mean the *istD?

In any event, if you format a card in the camera it is to be used in that should eliminate any problems with the file structure.

It could simply be faulty, but try a new card first, format it and see what happens.
