List of capabilities I want in my current K10D, all of which could be made available from camera firmware and/or Remote Assistant software:
1. Ability to turn off the viewfinder display. It's not only useless for astrophotography, it greatly interferes with night vision and focusing on stars. 2. Ability to adjust focus manually from the remote assistant, i.e. adjust the little screw drive as desired in manual mode from the remote assistant. 3. Digital preview selection from the remote assistant (for remote focus). 4. Zoom of the digital preview selection from the remote assistant (for remote focus). 5. Continuous (one frame per half second) transfer to to the remote assistant of the zoomed of the digital preview (for remote focus and monitoring). 7. Actual mirror lock (with AC adaptor for selenoid power if it's necessary). and via additional device: 8. Wireless (peferably via ad hoc 802.11n) transfer of all data and protocalls available from the camera's USB port. Gawd! The things I could do with these capabilities! --------------------------------------------------------------- "I don't mind if you don't like my manners. I don't like them myself.
