Set the menu options on your camera to re-set to certain defaults when you turn it off, i.e. cancel any exposure compensation, bracket settings etc. Then it will always be at the same start point when you turn it on.

You can on the K20D - just go into Menu->Rec Mode->RAW Button and set the RAW and RAW+ formats to change to JPG only when the RAW button is pressed...
I was just about to post an answer to this along the lines that my firmware didn't give that option when there was the loud 'clang' of an old penny hitting the bottom of a large empty barrel. I had misunderstood the way the menu worked on that screen and now I have cracked it: jpeg goes to RAW+, and RAW/RAW+ goes to jpeg only. I wondered why there was an option for RAW+ -> RAW+. Many thanks!

BTW, when one uses "quote this post" the backslashes reappear in the edit box...

I just wish the RAW button could be programmed to do the opposite. As I use RAW all the time I'd rather be able to push the button for a one-off jpg but sadly that isn't one of the options on the K10/K20.
It is an option on the K-7. However, it, or any other option, is not much use for the reason mentioned above.

Purists shoot in RAW only anyway
I take shots of signs at sites or in museums as it is quicker than writing notes and loosing the piece of paper later. It seems a waste of memory to use RAW for that hence my request.

The Jessops winder had a timer function. Also, the MEII winder was infamous for a weak battery compartment catch. Having said that I have two MEII winders! I managed to pick up a brand new battery compartment catch on ebay to get my first winder to work again.

APS-C is the size sensor we have in the K10/20/7.

I rarely buy "Amateur Photographer" and I rarely write letters to the press but today I did both. I was bored waiting on the railway station this morning so I purchased aforementioned magazine. In the letters section someone had written in claiming that full frame as a format would survive because...

"nobody makes lenses with APS-C markings; all are still made with full-frame indications of focal length... leaving the perplexed [APS-C] photographer to work out what focal length he or she is actually using!"

Arggghhh...
