Re: Has anyone painted the inside of the SD card door?
I see. Yeah, I did miss the TMI bit as I wasn't going to go into it beyond the beans and mofos name which has made its way well across the big pond. Anyhoo, I'll let it rest now =) 2011/7/13 P. J. Alling webstertwenty...@gmail.com: No real point, just another way of saying too much information, There are lots of disgusting foods available, and MREs while head and shoulders above most other survival foods have enough odd, and shall we say unusual combinations of ingredients to have garnered the sobriquet of Meals Refused by Ethiopians. In other words food so bad that even the truly desperate won't eat it. That may be a slur against Ethiopians, and it is certainly a slur against MREs. i was trying subtly and humorously trying to imply that I didn't need the gory details. Like I said, I failed.

Re: Has anyone painted the inside of the SD card door?
Nope. It's a matter of the tab being in place to block the appropriate part of that opening where it resides. It doesn't turn anything on or off. It just closes a window. If it's not there, you have to glue something over the window to unlock the card.

Re: Has anyone painted the inside of the SD card door?
Nope, it works just like the write protect tab on the late lamented 3 1/2 floppy disk. Exactly the same. Now there is supposed to be security firmware inside SD cards having to do with some DRM scheme or other, but AFAIK it's never been used anywhere. The actual write protect tab is simply a mechanical reminder. On 7/12/2011 4:25 PM, John Sessoms wrote: I think it depends on which position the lock tab is in when it falls out. From: P. J.

I have 2 spare sd cards in a soft container on the camera strap. I'll run out of battery juice before storage. And I do close the card door with the card out, ever since the *ist DS fell off the armchair with the door open. The door broke and had to be replaced at a cost of hundreds of $$$.

Re: Has anyone painted the inside of the SD card door?
I never had this problem. But I broke a lot of SD cards. They are quite prone to braking or just loosing the lock thing. I frequently have to glue the damned things together agian.

Re: Has anyone painted the inside of the SD card door?
LOL ... I agree with Miserere. You run into problems that I've never seen with anything, Larry. :-) If you want to paint on plastic, you generally want to use an enamel and you need to test whether it tries to dissolve the plastic you're paint. If it does, that's bad. I don't know how much room there is inside your camera's card slot, some of these cameras are pretty tight, so paint is likely the only option. Just get into the habit, whenever you remove or insert a card, of closing the door immediately afterwards.

Re: Has anyone painted the inside of the SD card door?
The door breaking off is not uncommon. It doesn't even have to be because you mishandled the equipment. And since there's a little switch inside that turns the camera off whenever the door is open (or missing), I can see his point. Back when my *ist-D was my only DSLR, I was walking through the woods one day when the door just broke off. The door was not open at the time, it just BROKE OFF! Fortunately, I heard the noise it made when it broke stopped walking, so it only took about a half hour sifting through the layer of dead leaves on the forest floor to find it. I was able to tape it back in place so the camera was usable until the replacement part came from Pentax. I'm still paranoid about how sturdy the doors are, because the cameras won't work without them. So I can understand where Larry's coming from. Do you need to paint the whole inside of the door, or only add something to make it really visible when the door is open just for a reminder? If the latter, you might be able to put a couple of spots of fluorescent fingernail polish on the inside. Or maybe high-light the inside edge.

Re: Has anyone painted the inside of the SD card door?
I was changing cards, camera hanging around my neck, (K20D), when I fumbled and dropped the camera. Somehow the little door latch caught on my belt or belt loop and got sheared off, (the mechanics of this escape me, but that's the only explanation I have. Searching for a tiny piece of black plastic isn't exactly the most fun I can imagine in a public place by the way. The interlock switch on the K20D is in the latching mechanism. Without that latch the camera is inert. I managed to find the little shard of plastic and put it into the latch, with a bit of gaffers tape to hold it in proper position. The camera still needs to visit a repair facility to have the door replace, but it's usable, I keep the door closed with a bit of black plastic tape that leaves less residue than gaffers tape. It's been almost a year now and I really should be looking into that..

Re: Has anyone painted the inside of the SD card door?
Stan, Now I have understood perfectly well the term thinking outside of the box. Larry, mark this suggestion ;) Bulent - http://www.flickr.com/photos/bc_the_path/ http://photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=2226822 http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/bulentcelasun 2011/7/9 Stan Halpin s...@stans-photography.info: Hey Larry - you need to think outside of the box! Or in this case, outside of the camera. 1. Spray paint your entire camera body a glossy white. 2. When you leave the SD door open, the black hole that results will contrast nicely with the white body. stan On Jul 9, 2011, at 4:07 AM, Larry Colen wrote: Once again, I moved my camera while leaving the SD card door open.

Is there any obvious reason why I shouldn't try this? i wouldn't use reflective tape -- it is thicker and needs a light source near your eyes to benefit from its reflectivity; i'd find a thinner bright orange or yellow tape; something less gooey than electrical tape, maybe a removable tape; on my K200d i see about 1/3 of the door that is not dedicated to the weather seal; i think some bright tape could fit here, with some attention to avoiding areas where it would affect the fit -- 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.

I wonder if he has the same issues with that camera... —M. \/\/o/\/\ -- http://WorldOfMiserere.com http://EnticingTheLight.com A Quest for Photographic Enlightenment -- 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.

Re: Has anyone painted the inside of the SD card door?
I make it a habit to always close the door. Sometimes I go out without a card in, but I've never had a problem with leaving it open. The media door on the other hand, I manage to leave that open all the time, especially after using a remote shutter release. That doesn't cause any problems though.
