K-1 Questions
Every new Pentax camera has more features, larger menus, and more sub-menu options, but the manual never gets any clearer. The biggest problem is the index, which has an inscrutable approach to naming things that I have questions about. I find Pentax's indices virtually useless for finding answers to my questions. So, can someone please help me with a couple of questions? 1. How do I turn off Auto ISO? 2. How do I turn off the focus beep? (Most of my approach to new cameras is to turn defaults off.)

Re: K-1 Questions
I think you turn of Auto ISO the same way as with a K-5 or K-3 hold down the ISO button and change the ISO. It's in the menu under Roadrunner ;-). No it's probably the same as the K-7 thru K-3 too. Which if I remember correctly it's on one of the menu pages under the wrench, labeled something really confusing like BEEP. I don't have the K-5 in front of me, and I may have confused that with the K20D but it's probably close to that.

Re: K-1 Turning Off Auto ISO
Well, mine may have come that way as well. Don't recall, but I usually started with aperture priority and set ISO to what I wanted. If the camera came preset with something else I never noticed.

Re: K-1 Turning Off Auto ISO
In the Index on page 123 it lists: ISO AUTO Setting .. 49 ISO Sensitivity ... 49 You set ISO AUTO by pressing the green button while holding down the ISO button. Turning the rear wheel while holding the ISO turns ISO AUTO back off and resets the ISO Sensitivity to where-ever you leave off turning the wheel. Index page 125 lists: Sound Effects ... 28 That takes you to "Set-up Menus" where All of the sounds appear to be in "wrench 1" where you can control the volume of the sounds & turn individual sounds on & off.

Re: K-1 Turning Off Auto ISO
Which is exactly the way the K-5[II[s]] works. To set auto ISO the K20D required a trip to the Fn ISO menu. Maybe the manual writers for the K-1 assume that the only people who'd buy a K-1 at one time used a K-7, K-5 or K-3, so they didn't need the information.

Re: K-1 Turning Off Auto ISO
It's something I don't really think about. I go through all the menus with every new camera -- I've owned all with the exception of the k-5 II-- and just set everything to my liking. The K-1 is undoubtedly the best of the breed, and I'm sure it's replacement will be better yet. I'm at 13,000 exposures, so I'll probably need it by the time it's released.
