Can anyone help, i have started taking shots in both samsung raw and jpg on my GX10. When i dowload the files into picassa both file formats appear. However if i try to pull a raw file into adobe photoshop 7 only the jpgs are available. When i installed photoshop i enabled all raw formats during setup. I want to get the benefits from working from the raw files, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Stefan, thanks for the advise, i will try the av mode next time. Its graet to get helpful advive. On the focus mode i found the fixed autofocus better than the continuesly variable focus. In terms of focus point i the centre point rather than area autofocus, do you think theese are the best combination. Essentially you are looking to capture the sawimmers head when they breethe which is every seven strokes when racing, at alternate sides,so you are essentially looking for a head to pop out of the water occasionally, to focus on and shoot.

am new to slr cameras. i took many pics of my kids swiming. Have the gx 10 with 18 to 555 and 50 to 200 kit lenses. I am not able to use the flash, the best result i got was on auto at iso 800. There is still some blur in the pictures which has been cropped, will i get any better in the cirmcomstances, ie no flash, and indoor at a swiming pool, or which mode dial settings should i try. Please look at my typical picture abiS1 in the gallery i have uploaded.

Any help is appreciated, i have found the forum very helpful so far, thanks guys.

Hi there i am a gx 10 user and i find if i download raw images using samsung bundled digimax master software the program crashes alot. Once in programes like picassa handle the same files much more quickly without crashing. Does anyone know if i can download and use the pentax camera software and will it handle the samsung DNG raw files ok.

john, thanks for the tip, i am recovering the jpeg files with artplus, i am not yet sure if the software will find the samsung raw files, however some recovery is much better than none.

thanks again

Being new to my gx10 and software i have accidently deleted some pictures off the memory card. My card had two different directories, with two lots of pictures on, i downloaded one lot then deleated all the pics on the card. Has anyone tried image recovery software, if so where can i find it and does it work, I have swapped ourt the card from the camera to my spare while i try to resolve this one. HELP!!!!

niles, ive bought the gx 10 from park cameras about three weeks ago. It is my first dslr and i am very pleased with it, but still getting to grips with the non auto use. Can anyone suggest my best route for taking blur free pictures of kids running, is it is0 800 in auto with the anti blur on? or are there other settings i should try. However back to the purchase niles, i paid £349 for the gx 10 with the 18-55 and the 50-200 stock lenses, i notice the price has gone up it may be worth a haglle there is a credit crunch on !

Thanks for the tip, i will download the pentax manual, as i am finding the samsung one a bit unclear.
