I bought my PZ-1p x 2, MZ-S x 2, and *ist-D (just 1) from Mitch at such a store. Then Pentax/Hoya shut down their retail business and I switched to B&H and Adorama. Neither of which I have ever seen in person. stan > > When I bought my K100D Super (1st DSLR purchase) the clerk > familiarized me with what's in the box, mainly to make sure nothing > was missing. > > For the K20D I almost wordlessly exchanged my VISA for the camera. > > For the K-3 I was buying from a sales guy who I've met socially so we > got caught up, chatted about studio shooting, and he wished me all the > best. > > > On Fri, Sep 19, 2014 at 5:46 PM, Stan Halpin > <s...@stans-photography.info> wrote: >> In the K-3 manual, see page 11 and page 73, primarily focused on the choices >> and processes involved in customizing the various buttons and E-dials. >> Not exactly an explanation of when/why to use the Green Button, but of >> course you get that in your initial familiarization from the clerk at the >> store where you buy the camera... >> >> stan >> >> On Sep 19, 2014, at 5:21 PM, Attila Boros <attila.p...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> There is something about this here: >>> http://www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/english/products/k-3/feature/03.html >>> Scroll down to Hyper Control system.
