Go to custom menu and scroll till you come to using apature ring click on the arrow to the next page. Click on permited and this should do the trick.

The Batteries I use are hama 2700 had them a while to be honest. However when the camera showed no battery life after charging all the batteries. I put the batteries into my flash and it fired up no problem. I have just recharged all the four batteries and now the camera indicator showes a full charge.I will take the camera out and see how it goes over the weekend. Thank you for the feed back.

Pentax was recomended to me by a chairman of an amature photography society. I made a request for advice when purchasing my first digital slr and for an entery level camera I was told the Pentax K100 D was a good bet this was also the choice of one or two pro's who are also members of the society. I have had also since my first camera the K100 D a K10, Samsung GX 20 which sadly went wrong or should I say Samsung were unable to repair and now have a Pentax Kr. I like the availabilty also of some of the older manual focus lenses which can be bought very cheaply compared to present day prices of lenses with the same focal length and seem as far as my limited experience can see offer good quality prints when used on the modern day cameras. My only regret as a Pentax owner is selling my K10.

My camera battery indicator is recording different amounts of levels from full charge to no charge. Today while using the camera there was no life in the battery according to the reading on the camera yet after turning the camera of and on a few times the battery level was showing half and then full charge. Can ayone suggest how I may regulate things ?.

Like elfer I have both NR options disabled as a matter of course because they definitely caused more noise on my K-r.

I have akways had these options on just turned them off so looking forward to seeing what changes in the IQ,

Ian
