Blinkin heck

Not quite sure what you mean, is it that your red light no longer flashes and so you require a cable operated remote or do you want wireless versions?

Looks like a European Wood wasp
Quote:

This insect kills pine forests
European wood wasps attack living pine trees although they prefer stressed trees. Female wasps insert eggs into the tree trunk and at the same time inject a symbiotic fungus and toxic mucus which act together to kill the tree. The immature wasps develop inside the tree and feed on the fungus as they tunnel through the wood. Foliage on an infested tree wilts and changes from dark green to light green to yellow and finally to red. Pines of all varieties including ornamentals can be attacked.

May I suggest that you try things first before buying that way it saves people running around for pain in the butt buyers
Well, ideally of couse that is what you would do, and I have always been a bit of a champion for the local shop, preferring to use them for the very reason of being able to try stuff out, get quality advice and return faulty goods without the hassle of posting it back.
The trouble is, as more and more business is done online, the shops start to dissapear and as we are reading more and more its very difficult to find a local shop that stocks Pentax. It was for this reason that I found SRS (who in my opinion are excellent by the way).

But if you can find a local stockist is it ethical as a policy to expect to use them to try stuff out and then buy online anyway, surely thats why they are dissapearing.

What the answer is I dont know but online suppliers must be used to this or should expect to get more of this kind of return. This extends to all areas of online shopping I suppose

Is that all? Oh well I use the 2 second timer a fair bit so I suppose I had better install it.

Thanks

Oh I agree Coriander (my favourite herb by the way)
You should always try an get it right in camera.

But to add to what I already said, if for example you take a great picture, you really love that photograph and want to hang it on your wall and show it to others or maybe you could even sell it. Trouble is you didn't notice when you took the photograph that there was an old cigarette packet in the frame? Would you want to clone it out and have a great picture, or leave it on your pc because the image was ruined.

Or, you take the picture and its exactly as you want it, but the sun off to 90 degrees has caused a slight blue hue over the distant trees. That certainly wasn't visible to your naked eye but has been caused by the lens. Would you perhaps want to mask off the area and reduce the blue effect by altering the blue hue a little, I know I would.

I don't however like false looking pictures and over use of Photoshop, in a photograph, but the there is digital art which can be amazing but is a different category altogether.

Cant find anywhere that tells you exactly what fimware 1.01 does? Not even on the readme, could somebody enlighten me or point me in the right direction to read up on it before I install?

Thanks
