Ok I'll try that, thanks for the info.

Hi, I contacted Pentax to see if I could get an original copy of the software cd for the ccamera and Pentax came back to me today to advise they no longer make them and they arent available.

Ive tried the upgrade work around but when I right click there is no 'show package contents' in the menu (windows 7 enterprise).

Can anyone help me out here? My main issue is opening raw files for photoshop. I have version 7...old yes but works well for me aand the pentax codec isnt written for this.

Thanks

Thanks everyone, just ordered one.

To be honest most of my work is studio so the priority would be variable power settings from quite low upwards. I normally meter myself with a meter anyway. You'd recommend then? What is good in your opinion?

Thanks

Morning everyone.

I need a gun with ttl metering that I can reduce the power on and while id like to to spend a few hundred pounds on a pentax gun its not practical.

Can anyone provide a recommendation for these yongnuo speedlights with a pentax dslr (ive got the K110D)?

Ive seen online that the build quality is pretty impressive.

Thanks

Evening everyone.

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to connect a laptop or monitor to my K110D to view taken images as you take them? Perhaps via a software package?

Thanks

Rockingdad

Thankd gartmore, is a specific type best for their trigger voltages? Are these ebay type 12v ones ok?

Cheers

Thanks and thanks for preventing hours of frustrated searching!

Afternoon everyone. I've been a pentax user from buying my first SLR which was a MZ-5, had a lot of good times and views captured with that camera along with a small studio setup I used (And still have) but time and jobs move on and I had a break from photography for many years, film became largely redundant it seems and so to use the lenses I already have, and I no reason to abandon the brand, I recently bought a great condition used K110d to get back into the fray.

I have some things to check up on such as hot shoe trigger voltages and the such (my Courteney Solaflash's may be redundant!) but looking forward to having instant reviews of my pics.

Now to get a battery grip for the K110d if such as thing exists and check on the compatability of the Cobra 700af flash I have.

Cheers everyone

Evening,

My wife has an optio E30 which for some reason the four way controller buttons wont do anything! the camera also seems to be stuck in Program (with 'P' in the left top corner). You can only cycle between full green mode when pushing the green button and then when pressing again it goes to program mode. The centre ok button operate but the arrow four way controller buttons do not...

Can someone advise what might have happened? is it posible something has been locked with inadvertant key presses?

So far I have:

Removed batteries, depressed shutter button and restarted the camera that way.
Reset that camera which shows the firmware version number then boots to camera.
Removed and replaced the SD card.

Pressed a lot of buttons in desperation!!!!

Thanks for your help in advance
