I thought that the interval between tide times was constant. So if you have a set of times for a given place, you could use that data to extrapolate future dates.

It would be interesting to see how it differs from a setting of 2.8.
Under reporting the SR setting (not sure if 2.8mm is possible) will have no adverse effect on the image. The reason is that the sensor shift will be minuscule.

This is why when folk ask what they should set a zoom lens to, if they are using all of its range and do not wish to change the setting for each picture, the answer is to set it to the lowest zoom FL
Thank you for explaining that. Very useful.

I think SR is automatically turned off, I've never actively changed the setting when doing astro.
As I understand it, the astrotracer makes use of the SR gismo to move the sensor gradually to eliminate star trails. Switching SR off might therefore cause the camera to behave as if there were no astro-tracer.

Another option would be to check the astrotracer batteries if it has been stored for a while.

Is there any in-camera facility for processing pixel-shift files, even if it is just assembly into a single initial image?
The four images are automatically combined into a single file in the camera which you process like a standard image in appropriate software. I believe where other manufacturers have a similar feature they are retained as separate images which have to be combined afterwards in special software (if you can identify them amongst the photos on your card).[/quote]RobL,
thanks for the clarification.

Copied from For Sale topic for an MX-1.

I don't use mine very often (mainly KP now) but, when I do, the image quality even SOOC still amazes me. Better than other similar small sensor cameras I've had (Fuji, Samsung, Lumix, Olympus) all of which have been sold. Ebay prices appear to show that the MX-1 is actually increasing in value. I have always wished that Pentax had developed that line but, as that is highly unlikely, I doubt that I would ever sell mine.
I've often ponderd what an improved MX-1 (MX-2?) should be:-
- bigger sensor,
- faster max. frame rate,
- slightly lighter (I know some like all the the weight),
- better auto white balance in artificial light,
- better low light performance, and
- weather & dust resistance (This could have been a USP in this category).

Any other thoughts?
I forgot to add that i recon it would / could be similar to the Canon G7X Mark 3 (or even the G5X Mk 2 with its EVF)).
