OK here is the link to the photo in question.

I re-sized it so I hope it kept the EXIF info

I will put a link in when I get home tonight. Then you can look at the EXIF info. I had the flash up the whole time. It only worked when I moved round and shot at a different angle.

I have read the manual and yet to come up with the way to get my built in flash to go off when I want it to.
Example I was trying to shoot some people sitting by a window. The picture came out great if you want to just see the window. But I want the flash to go off to show the 2 people sitting at a table in front of the window.
All I got was dark images on 2 people. So my question is what do I need to set the K20D to to flash when I pop it up. What mode does the camera need to be in? Is there a way to set it that it will always flash when I pop the flash up and not when I tells me to user flash only?

PS still trying to learn about the K20D.........

Here is a link from Olympus about 12 megapixels is enough:
This is an announcement about Olympus, but its choice to end the megapixel race at 12 mp might have implications for Pentax as well.......

Try it again fixed it

This is for the users in Europe and not the UK.......

According to the information on this german photo website

Pentax is going to move European Headquarters from Hamburg to Paris! =;-o
[to be completed by october 1st, 2009]

There's also news that service will be outsourcesd!!! (this starting in june!)

Very bad news for the service, I'd say! Because the service of Pentax.EU/DE in Hamburg is reknown to be extremely good and personal!
A few years ago the dutch and belgian (Benelux) service was allready outsourced to a belgian company [DeBeukelaer] and my experiences with them are extremely bad!
Pentax.EU/DE in Hamburg could be directly contacted by the client - for Pentax.Benelux you now have to ship your gear to the/a dealer who's going to ship to the dutch office who are going to ship to the belgian office ... who's going to pay for all this: the client. And off course the shops will want to have their share as well!

I have to admit that I am very shocked by this news!
Why should they burn money for the moving process?
Why sacrifice an extremely good service?

Thanks for your help. I will watch what I am doing with my fingers.

Hi all,

Sometimes when I press the button to do a AF focus I get and red square direct in the center of what I am photographing. Other times the red square is down under center and some times of to the left, Then I have a new red square in the middle left side that is completely red, No red square. Can any one tell my why this is happening. Do I need to change any settings. I would like to have the red square in the center of what I am photographing.

My setting are: Green Mode under the knob I have it pointing to green. On the back of the camera it is set to SEL.

I find Ilford my pick. Not that others are that bad.

Nice work
I find photographing castles have always been one of my most photographed items.

I stand corrected on the Topaz.
You are correct it should be Topaz Adjust
