Take the battery out.

Have a cup of tea (or coffee).

Cross fingers.

Replace battery and switch on.

Come back and tell us all's well

"If you were sufficiently forward thinking.."

That describes me

Can't remember what I paid for them now though

Let me check and come back to you.

Interesting.

I made a (losing) bid for the 300, not far off the price paid. If it had been on here initially at closer to the final price I would have bought it, saving fee's, etc. Ditto with the film cameras.

Guess I should have taken up the offer in John's second post and made an offer, even though it would have been around £150 shy of the asking price.

Live and learn

Welcome Mandy!

I understand there's no battery pack for the K-x, but you should get 400-500 shots out of a set of typical NiMh rechargeables batteries (1900-2500 mAh), or over 1000 with non-rechargeable Lithium.

There is/was a firmware update that was supposed to improve matters (not sure whether it was battery life or battery life indicator), plus a lot of users swear by Sanyo Eneloop rechargeables in their K-x's.

It's an AF200FG. If you enlarge the image you'll see this on the top of the flashgun, reversed.

2gb, and plenty of them. Paranoid about eggs in baskets.

4 backup copies of everything, 1 off-site.

Filter off - unless I'm using it for it's purpose (Polariser) - and hood on.
