Thanks guys,

I've now eventually downloaded the update to my camera
and can now use the 4gb SDHC card I bought yesterday.

Hi guys

I've tried looking on the Pentax UK website for the firmware update for my k100d so I can update it to use SDHC cards but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Can anyone help with a link to the page or whereever i'll find it.

Many thanks

Jim

It's probably that you need to set the custom setting 'Allow use of aperture ring' or something like that. Set that to yes and the convertor should work.

You will run into problems if the lens you wish to use it with hasn't got an aperture ring though.

Thanks Daniel

You said that i'll run into problems if the lens you wish to use it with hasn't got an aperture ring is the aperture ring the part at the bottom of the lens with a small button and an A marked on?

Thanks

Forgot to say it's a manual converter

Hi There

I was given one of these manual DOI 2x teleconverters from a friend but can't get it to work on my Pentax k100d and was wondering if anyone knows where I can get a copy of a data sheet that gives specific instructions on how to use it on my k100d?

I've heard there is one out there but just can't find it through Google.

Thanks

Jim

Apologies but I posted this in the wrong section before.

Can anyone tell me if the Nissin 360TW will work with my k100d
as i've got the chance of one but don't want to try it on my camera incase I do it damage.

The flash was used with a Pentax MV previous to this so i'm assuming it is Pentax compatible.

Thanks

Jim

Thanks Chris

I'll check to see what version of firmware I have then take it from there.

Thanks for your quick reply ChrisA but thats the problem on the Pentax UK website they don't say what the update is for.

Please look at http://www.pentax.co.uk/_uk/photo/products/index.php?cameras&gruppe=digital%20slr&produkt=19016&id=downloads

i've just bought a k100d last week can you please tell me if I should update with any firmware or would I be best to leave well alone as i've heard that if you do update firmware it could possibly damage your camera.

Also what is the firmware for?

Thanks

Jim

Thanks
