Thanks John & Clarky,

Regarding the current focal length, yes it's an old zoom.

Having cleared the first part of my confusion anyone want to tell me how the lens correction function stores information regarding each lens attached. I gather it can store twenty different lens adjustments. Is this individual information accessible via a list or does it just adjust depending what lens is attached at the time.

Are you talking about the Lens correction function or the input of focal length when you turn the camera on, these are 2 different functions all together.

If you are refering to the focal length, then it will ask for the focal length every time you turn the camera on, it doesn't store this information.

Probably both, I initially took the male approach and did not bother with the manual, just too many knobs to play with! Then read the manual and was just as confused. I assume the focal length requested is the total focal length and not the current focal length and if it is an old lens do I have to account for the 1.5 crop factor?

How is the lens correction function stored on the K-7. Is it automatically assigned to the lens when you change it or does it have a index that can be scrolled through and stored one to twenty. The reason is I attached one of my old lenses to the camera and was ask the question "Focal Length" not concentrating I set the information to the current focal length not the total length of the lens and would like to adjust it.

It was a very dull day yesterday, so I grabbed my wife's saxophone and tried a few shots of the key work, however I was unable to prevent my camera & tripod from being reflected from the sax. Now short of purchasing my wife a new black sexy saxophone, does anybody have any techniques for dealing with this. I am a total beginner at indoor photography and have no studio lighting.

The Quay has it's own coffee shop link

and the museum has it's own car park, If that helps.

I'm not up on what is good to photograph in Hartlepool there are the usual tourist things like HMS Trincomalee and putting Pentax users in the stock, that aside plenty of sailing boats and quayside efemera.

Not sure about the bridge shots David, the composition does not work for me, having said that if you cropped off the top of the Tyne Bridge leaving the bars lights and buildings the third one would be far more interesting. However the Stairs I quite like, it's possibly the different angles and blue/green metallic tones.

Still only my opinion.

Sony do some quite reasonable stereo microphones targeted at the Mini disk market, although they are not designed to be mounted. link

On a different note: the label on the base says assembled in Philippines. Is that right?

Yes!

Another question is it possible to set the electronic level to automatically turn off in manual mode?
