You did, but the biggest DUH is for me... I thought I was using the k-5, but had really grabbed the k-7! It was early this morning, we were rushing out to my son's track meet, I picked up the camera on my desk, and off we went, forgetting that the k-5 was set up on the tripod across the room, and not noting the different color strap... Imagine my aggravation/surprise/dismay when setting up for a few shots at the indoor track, and not being able to dial in 16,000 iso, as usual. I should have tried some panning shots. I should have taken video with my iPhone, for that matter. Arg. He ran his best mile time yet this year, too.
(I won't even mention how much time I spent poring through the manual, clicking through the menus, googling the "problem" and mentally drafting my next email to Pentax Service... 'cuz then you'd all know what an idiot I am.) So, thanks for asking, but "never mind" is the answer, I'm afraid. And, just so this is not all for nothing... Emily Litella said it best.
