DNG and PEF are both raw formats. You can choose to shoot with JPEG or RAW or RAW+JPEG. The setting of which raw format you use is a seperate one.To pschlute : There is a facility in the camera's menu that allows me to choose between PEF and DNG recording, Oddly enough, the camera will allow me to shoot PEF/JPG's side by side, not so with Raw and DNG.

I had the same issue with my Z1 a while ago. As you have discovered it is a known fault with the plastic gear that moves the mirror. The best fix is to get someone to replace the gear with a purpose made brass one.
I managed to find one on ebay in full working order that I was going to canibalise. When it arrived it was in excellent condition, so no surgery required. But I dare not use it much in case it suffers the same fate.

Yes i second John's advice. I never install pentax software. I use Photoshop Elements and Silkypix DS Pro7 raw converter.
You can start with Just Photoshop Elements. It has a raw converter of its own which will process DNG files. If you have been using PEF raw files, I believe you can find free programs which will batch convert them to DNG.

Would it be so hard for Ricoh to put announcements on the various Pentax forums?
You are asking a lot when Ricoh/Pentax UK have not even got the updated firmware on their own site yet !Would it be so hard for Ricoh to put announcements on the various Pentax forums?

I understand how that works. But why not shoot in tav or av then. Why shoot in manual but switch to tav or av halfway through ?
I think you are misunderstanding me. i dont switch out of manual mode. Just press the exposure lock and move the aperture wheel (Av wheel) to change f stop and the camera will move the shutter speed to maintain the total exposure setting I originally chose.I understand how that works. But why not shoot in tav or av then. Why shoot in manual but switch to tav or av halfway through ?
This is not the same as Av mode where the camera will be constantly re-evaluating the light and applying its own shutter speed setting.
