#2 has a slightly blue cast to it. Comparing it to #1, I think you just need to lift the greens ever so slightly - so slightly that probably you cannot immediately detect it with the human eye!

Shot #1 perhaps a tad over-exposed, TT??.. 2,3, and 4 are all "bang on the money" for me though!!

Possible water damage causing a short circuit? If you took the camera below the recommended max depth of about 3 metres, you may have stressed the water-resistant seals. The series of lines you got on the screen hints at possible impact damage (perhaps you'd dropped it on a hard surface initially, causing damage to the seals). The press of any button causing the camera to take photos automatically (I presume you mean you cannot manually set any special functions, such as macro, etc?) hints at a short-circuit, possibly caused by conductive residue (sodium salts from the sea-water) on the main circuitry. I'd get a Pentax-authorised repairer to have a look at it.

Excellent result, Dave!!... Now, toddle off to your local Wetherspoon's and buy yourself a celebratory pint with your prize money!!

Congrats, Shaun!!.. I never even knew tigers ran wild in the Lake District!! Joking aside - excellent shot!!

Great set of photos!! Glad you enjoyed yourself as well!!

Shaun - No.1 looks okay, although all it needs is less red in the skyline, otherwise it looks fine to me. Maybe the last one could do with the green glare removed from the centre too. The 3rd one is a bit "red-rich" as well, but a bit of tweaking with it should get what I think you were hoping for.

link Have a read at this thread.

Possibility that you have a corruption in the program file and/or registry. First thing to try though is to right-click on the main icon on your desktop, scroll down to "properties" in the drop-down, and under the "shortcut" tab at the top of the dialog box, you shoule see a button towards the bottom of the window, marked "change icon". Run the program again, and see if that clears it. If not, re-install the program (I'm assuming it's WD Smartware). Basically, it will over-write the duff info with the correct info.

Worst case scenario is to go to your control panel, uninstall the program completely, restart your computer then load an entirely fresh copy of the program.

You can apply these tips to any other program that gives you a similar issue.

Edit: having looked at this again, I'm guessing you are seeing this when you click on the "computer" on the left-hand side of File Explorer? If so, you won't see "shortcut" on the drop-down. Instead, use either WD's own disk checker, which you should find in WD Drive Utilities. WDDU should have a tab called "diagnostics". Give that a click, to see if it finds a problem with the disc that may be causing this, or run checkdisk (CHKDISK) from the command window (CMD). CMD gives you a black window on your desktop, with a flashing cursor. Prior to typing anything in, the last line here will read something like "C:users(your name)>

After the ">" arrow, type in CHKDISK (if it doesn't recognise this command, use CHKDSK) followed by a space, then type in your drive letter associated with your WD drive.

The command line will look like this:

C: (back-slash)users(back-slash)(your name)> chkdisk X: (if X is the letter associated with your drive)

At the end of this command line, hit your enter key, and wait until it checks the disc. It might take a wee while (15-30 mins is not unusual), so go make yourself a wee cuppa!!

Gary - I don't know about you, but shutter-lag from digital cameras really "rips my knitting"..!! It's fine if you are doing portraits, but I can only imagine that when you are shooting concert footage and the like, your brain and shutter-finger has to be a split-second ahead of the action. God only knows the nightmare that the likes of sports photographers have to endure!

Surely, it doesn't take the camera's image processor to "understand" the info that it's being presented with, before it decides it's happy with what you are trying to shoot in such a "pedestrian" manner? If I press the shutter button when the subject is more-or-less dead-centre, that's where I'd like the image to be!!.. Not somewhere that it's so off-centre as to "force" me to need to crop!!
