Having skipped from K10 to K7 I have not looked very deeply into what functions were on the K20. Your are right Kris to bracket a shot I had to press the shutter for each image.

One thing I have really enjoyed so far is the speed between individual shots, especially when bracketing images. One thing that has driven me round the bend is having to press the OK button before adjusting the selective focus position. I could do this with gloves on with my K10 and in temperatures of -6 I have now suffered for my art.

Yep your spot on Stefan as ever. I feel as though it is more accessible on the K7 especially with the Live view function at hand, It's so hard getting wildlife to hang around for two seconds.

Yep Stefab, I'm mystified about this one as well but all is working and I have so much information to take in.

I am currently wading through my K7 manual and keep finding new functions that did not exist on my K10D, for instance time lapse photography and a mirror lock up function, video, HDR and a focus trigger. This had me wondering how people have customised it and what new functions they have tried, what was a total gimmick and what is very useful.

I used my K7 to video some otters the other day, the quality is quite good especially compared to my JVC HD camcorder that left a huge amount of red fringing on the snow covered rocks. However I did find that holding the K7 in video mode is impossible, but still it's very handy function to have.

After changing my settings to DWG and Adobe RGB sanity has now returned. Although it was interesting to see that David had the same problem.

I had hoped to stay with the Pentax PEF file format, just for the sake of consistency rather than any other reason. It does worry me that old file formats can become totally obsolete, not a problem in the days of film photography, but a pain if you have to go through the whole back catalogue and convert them to keep up with the times.I remember seeing a program about the national document archive and how they were experiencing problems keeping the integrity of documents, not just the text contend but the look and feel. Even with Microsoft word they had to have each version from 1.0 to the current day and ensure that the original fonts version were available.

Thanks Stefan, I will have a play around with Lightroom. Upgrading to CS4 will be a little steep for me, so I may have to shop around for a more economical solution.

I suspect you are right regarding the white balance issue, the pink exists on all shots and is more pronounced on night shots due to the addition of artificial light on the snow. I have now set my K7 to "DNG" and "Adobe RGB colour space" to see what the effect is.

Any other changes I should know about?

Thanks Gareth

Thanks for the comment Will, I am going to give this a go tomorrow. But in the meantime I will have to some serious post processing.
