Re: Lost, K10D
Bloody hell, Frank. That sucks. I hope by some twist of fate you get it back. I suppose the similar stories being posted aren't making you feel a whole lot better but I'll add mine anyway. I left a backpack containing my trusty SFXn in a supermarket trolly at the local shopping centre. I didn't even realise it was missing until about a half an hour later, while I was having a quiet coffee, there was an announcement over the centre's PA system asking me to come to the manager's office. Actually, even after the announcement it didn't occur to me that the backpack wasn't with me. It wasn't until I arrived at the manager's office and saw the pack that the head slapping started. Someone had handed in the backpack and there was a power bill (or something similar) in it with my name on it. I was lucky - and grateful that there was at least one honest person in the centre that day. Cheers Brian + Brian Walters Australian Native Plants Society (Australia) http://anpsa.org.au Quoting knarftheria...@gmail.com: Ok, not really lost, rather, stupidly left on a bench. It happened a week and a half ago. I was working at the time, had taken my camera strap off my neck and put the camera next to me while I sat in a shopping mall checking something in my wallet. Then my Android beeped, telling me I got a call to pick up. As I got off the subway about fifteen minutes later that sinking feeling hit me; no camera around my neck. I immediately got a second call to do, so unfortunately it was almost two hours after I left my camera before I got back to the mall. Checked with security and all the stores near the bench (who would have brought the camera to security - mall policy); nothing turned in.

Re: Lost, K10D
Damn it!! Sorry to read this, Frank. Cameras truly seem to become friends and companions in a thoroughly pleasing adventure. Not the same thing, but I walked away from a decent tripod which I left on a park picnic table near a local lake. I'd driven maybe half a dozen blocks when it hit me. Did a quick U-turn, but no tripod when I got back to where it had been left. Living in a small town, I went to the local police who took a report and pronounced it "stolen." After a few days I checked some local Pawn Shops, but nothing.

Re: Lost, K10D
Will the mall let you view any security camera footage? Perhaps some shops nearby have cameras that overlook the place you left your camera. There's been two incidents in Australia recently that were solved by unrelated security cameras that recorded the events. An assault and murder was solved in Melbourne because a shops internal camera recorded the victim being pestered by her attacker shortly before her disappearance. A dognapping in Sydney was solved and the dog recovered because a camera further along the street recorded a small boy carrying the dog away, the footage and a screenshot were put up on Facebook, and the dognapper was recognized. I know your camera is small change by comparison, but the principle is the same. regards, Anthony On 24 October 2012 14:20, knarftheria...@gmail.com wrote: > Ok, not really lost, rather, stupidly left on a bench. > > It happened a week and a half ago.

RE: Help, Lost K10D CD
Hi Mike, I am living at the moment in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. And in 45 days, I will go to Cairo. As I am emergency / disaster doctor, I do not know where do I go for short mission when I am based in Cairo.

Dear mailing list colleagues, Thank you for all your support, especially to Bill. I am honored that I am part of this mailing list and now I am pride of my K10D twice as before, as not only I have a good camera, but also provide me an opportunity to be part of this community.

RE: Help, Lost K10D CD
Thank you, I do not think so, as I can not install PBLV0311 as it also needs verification. I think you have installed the PBLV0310 and then after update, it does not ask for verification.

RE: Help, Lost K10D CD
Dear Maris and Godfrey, Thank you for response. Unfortunately the updates, ask for original CD in order to be installed!!! So I do not know what to do now? For temporary solution, I copied the Pentax directory from my other computer to the new computer; apparently some of its function is working, but not all the function. I appreciate advices in this regard. Cheers, Amirkambiz -Original Message- From: Maris V.

Re: Help, Lost K10D CD
There's nothing on the CD that isn't available from the Pentax website. Pentax Photo Lab and Pentax Photo Browser have been updated since the CD was made anyway.
