knew it would have to be a simple answer, never though to look at the dial was just working through the hand book. Will go see if that works.

EDIT: yes it does, thanks.

Sure I am being a very stupid camera owner but I can't get the menu Rec mode 1 to function, I wish to change the Jpeg settings but they are all unlit, other pages seem to work but not the one I need. What is it I am not doing?

Edit: Sorry Jackie we're getting a bit off the topic here. Nice shots from you DA 18-55 WR btw [/quote]No problem that is the way of conversation and none the lest interesting for that.

TBH I don't think I could find my USB cable. My old PC had a reader which was fine once I had removed the dog hair so on the new PC I use a reader.

Here are a couple of the shots, they realy are just snaps not intended to be of any interest to others, both at f10 in reasonable but midday light.

18mm

The camera was the K20
Sorry not got the correct size I forgot think it should be 850 if I remember.

Thanks for explaining the rubber doors I meant, I can open them ok but because my fingers do not work so well I find it very difficult to shut them again. Still I would not discard the camera over it's doors but may have though twice if I had realised before buying.

Pleased with the little lens, a steal if you have bought it as a kit lens.

Well the K7 and kit lens arrived this morning following a tour of Lincolnshire courtesy Parcelforce and as yet the battery is still charging so no comment on the K7 apart from my disappointment with the little nasty rubber doors (one of the reasons I rejected Nikon) still I will have to learn to love them or remove them.

Back to the lens put it on the K20 and had a quick click and I am very pleased with the results. Hope to try this evening and see if I can do some proper shots with it rather than the snap anything in sight. So, pleased with the lens the camera is yet to be tried.

Would have been more than pleased to have taken these they are great but I guess it depends what those who choose are looking for in particular for any one edition.

And they send you an e-mail if your shot is to appear but not if it has been shortlisted.

Please explain?

When I moved from film to digital I first bought a Coolpic, why, well it was easy to obtain, it was well spoken off (I have since learnt) in the press, I knew the name. It took good shots, it was reliable and expensive.

When I came to buy a DSLR I spent months chewing it over, and in the end two things made up my mind for me, the first that I like the feel of the Pentax (nearly all of them) and penny for penny there is (was) nothing on the market to touch them, the quality was there and they produced the best Shots I could manage just like any other camera would.

Second point, I owned Pentax film lens that would fit the bodies I may buy, so I bought a ist and have never regretted it as I have since bought a K20 and I am waiting the delivery of the K7. Still have and use the ist and it has never failed to please.
