Re: Pentax presentation - K20D feature (serious comment this time)
I'd like a camera that uses UTC correctly. Just like a computer (runnsing and OS other than Microsoft), I should be able to set the clock to UTC and specify which timezone I'm in. Setting hardware clocks to timezone-specific values is stupid for anything other than non-mobile objects. Between travelling and daylight-savings time, it's ugly to keep track in post-processing. -Cory On Fri, 25 Jan 2008, Stan Halpin wrote: > Commenting on my own comment...

Stan - Downloader Pro by Breeze Systems will integrate the GPS track log information to your EXIF data as it downloads the images. All you need to do is download the track log from your GPS and tell Downloader Pro where to find it. The key to accuracy, of course, is to be sure the camera clock matches the GPS clock. Although the Sony GPS is shown on the Downloader web page, most any GPS will generate a track log that is compatible. See this page for a little more information... http://www.breezesys.com/Downloader/whatsnew2.htm If you'd like more specific information, let me know off-list and I can send you the Downloader help file on Geo-tagging. -p Stan Halpin wrote: > Thanks Mark.

I see your point. I guess the cat spent eight and half hour sleeping under the sofa. The rest of the time it was streching at the same spot :-) What I find cool is being able to follow the activty in a birds nest without disturbing the birds.

Re: Pentax presentation - K20D feature (serious comment this time)
It's interval timer. How cool? Depends on your needs... many compacts do have this feature. I've used it only once - when we wanted to know, how our new kitten is spending her day. In the morning I put the camera on tripod, even placed some extra mirrors to cover most of her favourite places and adjusted shooting interval to 5 minutes. Believe or not - damn catto managed to be NOT photographed in ANY of over 100 frames during ~9 hours.

Re: Pentax presentation - K20D feature (serious comment this time)
There are also a few other neat features in K20D: AF Adjust - no need to get the hack firmware and bother with service menu. There are two settings: "Apply All" use the offset for all lenses. "Apply One" calibrate one lens with memory capacity of 20 lenses settings. ISO Display - You can now set ISO display ON for all modes (not just Sv or with ISO in control dials) in place of frame counter. RAW Button customization - Three independent settings for the 3 format: JPEG -> JPEG / RAW / RAW+ RAW -> JPEG / RAW / RAW+ RAW+ -> JPEG / RAW / RAW+ High ISO NR - Off / Weakest / Weak / Strong Catch-in Focus - Trap Focus Pixel Mapping Rear LCD Color Tuning View Finder Display Change: - New RAW or RAW+ display in View Finder; this is very convenient as I don't need to check the top panel - especially now in combination with the customizable RAW button - New line under ISO display similar to Aperture and Shutter speed to show which one is being adjusted manually. - Some display icons position has changed, e.g. SR icon is now on the right.

Commenting on my own comment... (Is that like mumbling to yourself?)

Pentax presentation - K20D feature (serious comment this time)
Haven't seen anybody comment yet on the one feature many of us have asked for - in camera customizable file names. If I am on vacation, moving from small town to small town around Lago di Garda, I know that I will just have time to dump the files onto a portable drive that evening and it will be a real pain to reconstruct where I was when, I would probably use that feature often. It wasn'tclear ow flexible the feature was, but they did show a full a-z virtual keyboard... stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
