All the time ! but I don't own a prime so it's my 18-55.
I do a LOT of walking and the camera is heavy enough on it's own, let alone with heavy lenses so I just take the one, normally set on 35mm.

I used a 3 position rubber hood on my 18-55. I normally leave it set in the middle position, extending it for 55mm on a bright day and retracting it for 18mm (if I remember)
Not perfect, but workable at £5 !

Check that you are on version 1.3.

I am on 1.3 but nothing about "Pop-up contributes to the exposure or not"Sometimes later versions of firmware introduce options that weren't there originally.

or do I need to affix an external flash first ? are the menus dynamic ?

Yes, it's via the pop-up flash. A K10D custom option will allow the choice of "Pop-up contributes to the exposure or not". (Mine's on "not").[quote:a3473cea61]Am I right that the wireless is through the pop-up flash rather than IR?
Matt[/quote]My K10 doesn't have this option ! It does however have this one "Flash in Wireless Mode", which is not shown in the user manual !! This allows the internal flash to fire in Wireless Mode (master or slave), something the manual says you can't do !
I'm confused ! clarification required

If you've a pef file from the camera it also shows you the manufacturing date.
15038 is my shutter count so yes that seems like a good deal you got there.
15038/2years = 20 photos a day... I never thought I shoot that much
About other software??? that's the only one I know that you need to have and it's free as well.

Yes, you can reset your image numbering, but not the shutter count.
Select 'Memory' from the 'Rec Mode' menu.
Scroll down using the four way controller to File No and untick it (Off).
Turn off the camera.
The last stored file (image) number has now been reset to 0.
Use the same process again to turn on the Save File No. function.
Pages 199 & 200 of the PDF manual explains it all.
You can do the same with the K20D.

1) Where is the 'Shutter Count' then !? (thought that's what I'd found)
2) The manual says divided into 'folders of 500' ; is that on the SD card ONLY ?
