That's a cool composition, Godders. I almost feel jealous. Over here the hot

I left my k-3 at home, but have my K-3 II here as a backup. I wasn't planning 
on getting the second one but it came with the used lens I wanted.

They're not real. It's a cargo cult up there. When the 'train' arrived I

The K-5 in green mode automatically goes to JPG, no RAW.  When I
switch back to anything else, RAW is back on again.

Re: What is the most automatic mode on a K-3 that will shoot raw

My K-5II in green mode, won't let me change to raw capture, it won't 
even let me into the quick menu through a second press of the info 
button.  It greys out all menu items in the standard menu that allow 
changes to the file format.  The K20D however will let you shoot RAW in 
Green mode.  I don't know if that change happened with the K-5 or with 
the K-7.

You could download the Operating Manual as a PDF & use it to guide you
while you tell your housemate how to set the various controls instead of
relying on us for second hand misinformation.


As we can see from the above, your second hand disinformation is more

An admission of ignorance is always more accurate than a wild guess.



http://www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/english/support/man-pdf/k-3.pdf


You are making the assumption that I hadn't tried to RTFM. In my
experience the manual aspires to uselessness. The index points to
setting the auto iso limits, but not turning them on or off.  I tried
searching the manual, several times, and wasn't able to find it, until I
was able to find it and then I was. On some of those searches, I will
admit that I couldn't see where auto iso was highlighted on the page.



I was making the assumption that you left your K-3 at home in California
with your housemate while you are up there in Oregon (based on the
"wanted my housemate to be able to pick up my camera ... tomorrow").

If I was having to explain something like that over the phone without
actually having the camera in my hands, the diagrams & instructions in
the manual are the next best substitute I can think of.

Even when I do have the camera handy, I find it easier to clarify my
thinking so that I can explain things more clearly if I can look in the
manual to find the proper nomenclature/procedure. When I don't have the
camera with me, I'm not likely to have the paper manual to refer to, but
I know I can find a PDF copy on Ricoh's web site

... if I don't already have a PDF copy on whatever computer I'm
currently using.


I was hoping that someone else had gone through this and could just say
"simultaneously press the iso and the green buttons to put it into auto
iso, but that only works in these modes", which would have saved me
about 45 minutes of trying to find the information.



And if I *knew* that, I'd have told you, but I'd also refer you to the
specific page in the manual where I got the information from.

Re: What is the most automatic mode on a K-3 that will shoot raw

[P. J. Alling]

Gone are the days when a camera manual was actually more than a list of 
features and how to activate them.  That's partly because there are now 
so many features that "might" be useful to someone somewhere, despite 
being extremely esoteric.  Some features are so obscure that though you 
can activate them there's no clue to what they actually do.

Re: What is the most automatic mode on a K-3 that will shoot raw

[Zos Xavius]

P mode will probably do ok. Set the program line to MTF so it just
tries to pick the sharpest apertures. And yeah you have to pick an ISO
or set it to Auto. You can preset the ISO beforehand if the lights
going to be mostly the same. Also make sure you turn off back button
focusing and they should be good to go. Green mode will only give you
jpegs with basic settings. It can be useful though if you are giving
the camera to someone who just wants a point and shoot.

I don't see anything in the manual that says "Green mode" shoots only
jpeg. If it's in there, I didn't find it.


I am sure that I remember reading that, and trying it out. However that 
must have been on an older model because I just tried it and it seems to 
be in raw on both the K-3 and K-1.




You could download the Operating Manual as a PDF & use it to guide you
while you tell your housemate how to set the various controls instead of
relying on us for second hand misinformation.


As we can see from the above, your second hand disinformation is more 
accurate than my first hand disinformation.


http://www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/english/support/man-pdf/k-3.pdf


You are making the assumption that I hadn't tried to RTFM. In my 
experience the manual aspires to uselessness. The index points to 
setting the auto iso limits, but not turning them on or off.  I tried 
searching the manual, several times, and wasn't able to find it, until I 
was able to find it and then I was. On some of those searches, I will 
admit that I couldn't see where auto iso was highlighted on the page.


I was hoping that someone else had gone through this and could just say 
"simultaneously press the iso and the green buttons to put it into auto 
iso, but that only works in these modes", which would have saved me 
about 45 minutes of trying to find the information.

Re: PESO 2017 - 013 - GDG

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Do you see that flood control bypass in the background? Water only starts to 
flow through it when the river level is 4 feet up from the summer normal. The 
water was flowing already halfway up the bypass channel. If that weren't there, 
the place I was standing would have been 7 feet under water. 

(I've seen the river go as high as the top of the bypass, at which point the 
Coleman Road bridge roadway (behind me) is under water... That also means that 
downtown San Jose is half flooded out.)

Haha, when the "Guadalupe" overflows over here (central TX), all hell
breaks loose, cows float away, cars disappear, people end up dead,
interstates go underwater.  I like the pic tho, it has a 60's feel to
it.

Just realised this pic couldn't have been taken in Yorkshire as there

I don't see anything in the manual that says "Green mode" shoots only
jpeg. If it's in there, I didn't find it.

You could download the Operating Manual as a PDF & use it to guide you
while you tell your housemate how to set the various controls instead of
relying on us for second hand misinformation.
