Glad you got it off I had the same problem but didn`t want to say before because my fix was to use brute force as was suggested by Gary,it is surprising how strong the cameras are,we had two strong guys to fix it and it was tears,but no damage was done.

Now that the problem battery has been fixed,Orsolia can not be responsible for the battery problem,

it is only "fitting" that an reason is offered,being from down under,the battery was not fit for purpose,

the manufacturer should send the opposite handed battery when a camera is sent down under.

Regardless of the size of lens,on APS-C you will get 2/3 of a full frame image.

It might be worth a call to CR kennedy,the Australian agents, and ask one of their tecks to advise you on a way out of your predicament,have found them helpful it might be a in-house repair but you will know the answer to the cost if they carn`t help.

I have had a look in Picture monkey,the help screen said it can save in 3 sizes up to 16mp, there is a gear wheel above the photo that will let you change the size.

It doesn`t say what resolution it saves at but would be fairly high being 16mp.

If you would expose for the face and not have the sky blown out it would require a filter,would it not.

the scene didn`t look like it was very bright so in PP you might be able to adjust it,the K5iis does have a good dynamic range the example that JAC posted would`nt have blown the sky

The OP inquired as to the the red skin this would in my opinion fix it.

You have the camera set to high saturation and center weighted average,I would use natural and spot-metering to the subject,if that was the object of the photo.

You can go to the Pentax Web site and download Pentax Digital camera utility 4.

There is a tutorial by McGregor in General Digital Photography Chat Forum that will help you with this program.
