I see nowhere in DS/DS2 manuals (from pentaximaging.com) anything pointing to the fact that the camera could allow shutter when no card inserted.
I see no custom function allowing shutter to operate when no card is inserted. My D had that custom fucntion but DS/DS2 do not have them. In troubleshooting section, the only relevant suggestion when the cmarea refuses to fire is to check if tther's a memory card with enough space on it. Nothing else. So, I can't find any reason for difference in behaviour the different readers experimented (JCO and not sure whoelse). -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille ---------------------- K10D,Z1,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t and KR-10x ;) ... -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
