Re: K-1 and Photoshop CS6

[Zos Xavius]

Oh and I forgot that adobe now has k-1 and k-3 ii profiles built in as
well. So you aren't stuck with just adobe standard or embedded
anymore. You can pick natural, portrait, etc. I rarely use anything
other than reversal film (which sadly isn't supported) so the profiles
are pretty useless to me. The portrait and natural ones aren't bad
though.

Yes you can just convert pef to dng with the dng converter. Or you can
shoot DNG and just open the raw. Do note that the K-1 has a bunch of
advanced features that the older camera raw does not support like
multiple area white balance. In the latest lightroom, it works with
the K-3 or at least it doesn't shift to green anymore. Lightroom also
has the latest adobe profile for the K-1 where the older camera raw
you are stuck with just embedded. I use embedded usually myself, so
maybe that's not a big deal. Skin tones can be better sometimes under
adobe's profile though.

Right now there is a deal for $8 a month for lightroom and photoshop
CC. Not a bad deal really. Then again if you are running a computer
that still has CS6 it might be time to upgrade. My older i5 laptop
struggles with k-3 files even.

Nice photo of a very interesting bird.  I know what it's like trying to get a

Thanks for the offer, Igor. I am having two problems: Firstly, I am hopelessly 
20th century, and am suffering from featuritis in Pentax's recent DSLRs. 
Secondly, my mind just does not work the same way as the writers/editors who 
prepare the indices in Pentax's manuals. I simply don't know what terms to use 
when searching an index. Both problems are no doubt my fault. It was dumb of me 
to search for "focus beep" instead of realizing that I needed to search under 
"sounds." In the meantime, thanks to everyone who responded. I am slowly 
mastering the K-1. At least, it is allowing me to think that I am mastering it.

(I don't have a K-1, but I can make a pretty good guess as to how you would do 
this).

If you're trying to turn off auto-ISO, then presumably you want to set a 
particular ISO.
And, if you do that, auto-ISO will indeed be turned off.  You can turn it back 
on again
by choosing "auto" on the ISO selection, rather than 100, or 800, or whatever 
you decide.

What I might have to refer to the manual for is how to set the upper and lower 
limits
for the auto-ISO range, but that's a rather different question.

Re: K-1 Turning Off Auto ISO

[John]

But if they didn't think users would need the information, why did they
put it in the manual?

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.

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.

Also lets you turn sounds on/off for Fx1 & Fx2 Buttons.

As far as I can tell, the manual does not say how to turn off Auto
ISO. I've had no trouble like this in previous Pentax DSLRs that I've
owned. Odd that in a professional-grade camera, there is no easy way
to turn off a feature designed for beginners.

Re: The entrance - K1

[P.J. Alling]

I like it but it seems the sharpest part of the photograph are the 
foreground backlit leaves, in the upper right corner.  By the comparison 
the rest seems a bit soft, which wouldn't even be noticeable except for 
those leaves.
