Re: K-5 Metadata Issue - solved
It seems the problem isn't anything to do with the camera it's a bug in the software I've been using for image management (Zoner Photo Studio 17). My workflow has been to use ZPS17 to add descriptors/keywords etc and then send images needing further processing from ZPS17 to Photoshop, but I've just discovered that as soon as I save the descriptors in ZPS17, the Lens Info (and presumably the full Maker Notes metadata) disappears. Fortunately, I also have Zoner Photo Studio 18 (I prefer the interface of the earlier version which is why I've been using it) Anyway, I've just tested some images in ZPS18 and the bug has apparently been fixed - so I'll be using that version in future. Back to that drink...

Re: K-5 Metadata Issue
Hi Zos Thanks for the suggestions but things are becoming even weirder... It seems that the camera is actually recording the Maker Notes. I just checked the metadata on the SD card for recent images and all metadata is present, but the Maker Notes are missing for those same images that had been copied across to my hard drive. What's even more frustrating is that I can't now reproduce the problem. I just took a couple of photos, copied the images across to the hard drive - and all metadata is present. I need a drink...

Re: K-5 Metadata Issue
Try reflashing the firmware on it. It might just be something weird. No lens data in lightroom either? I would guess not if exiftool isn't reporting it. You also might want to try cleaning the contacts on your camera to make sure it is getting good communication first. You should be seeing focal lenght information in the jpeg review on the camera if you press the info button. If you are not the lens->camera connection is suspect.

Re: K-5 20K
As you know Larry it's easy to end up with a lot of images shooting dance and other live performance, my RAW library is approaching 450k images but that's less than I've shot as I have started outright discarding images that I know will not be used in any way.

Re: K-5 20K
Thanks Rick, I do give my cameras quite a workout, my main K3 is just past 225k shots I think, my just new D750 has about 20k shots on it already. Time is difficult to juggle at the moment, I don't get enough time to do things that I really need to so I only have time to pop in here once in a while :( All those shots come with consequences, I'm steadily working my way through a backlog of shoots, so not much time to post anywhere and less time to do my own thing.

Re: K-5 sound question (EUREKA!)
The solution is always simple When I go the camera I place a piece of bright yellow tape on top , right in front of where a flash attachment goes... I had other yellow tape in other palces but they wore off.. Now I searching the manual again for where the mic was (no entry in index for mic) and found it. Yes yes I had covered it with tape .. all is well. Wish I'd seen that before I did the vid when my visitors were here! Stan led me to this by suggesting I might have covered it with my finger..

Are you setting the camera at ISO 10k or 25.6k, or are you "underexposing" in the camera and pushing at post? On both of those photos, I had the camera set for Tav. Sometimes, I'll underexpose a bit to preserve highlights. I generally don't like to push too much past 6400 or 8000, but sometimes the results surprise me. I have lost many more photos from too low a shutter speed, or too little depth of field than I have from too high of an ISO. In any case, my point was that he should experiment with it, and when he has the time to take a second try at the photo, give it a try at the higher ISO because if he's coming from an ist, then he just will not believe what the camera can really do. In any case, we all have our own limits as to what we'll tolerate in terms of noise. The when I was processing the shot of Jon, my first thought was that the noise on it was a little rough, and I wondered what ISO I was shooting at, I expected 8K not 25K. As a side bit of internet history, the band he is playing with in that photo, Deth Specula, made internet history by being the first band to broadcast a concert live over the internet.

This is funny. I already have an extra 7.2v battery. For some reason, I thought the BG-4 needed 2 x 7.2v batteries so I always used it with AAs. I got the BG-4 several years ago to use with my K-7. At that time I used it with AAs and didn't have a problem. A few yrs later, I bought a K-5 with intent of selling the K-7 but never could bring myself to part with it even though I never use it. I've been charging both batteries and carrying one in my pocket while still using AAs in the grip. Why the grip stopped working so suddenly with AAs I don't understand but I just tested it and it seems to work just fine with the extra 7.2v Li-ion in the grip. Fortunately, I had kept the box for the grip and the 7.2v carrier was still in the plastic. Also, when I pulled out the 7.2 carrier I was pleasantly reminded that it has a place for an extra sd card.

RE: K-5 10K
Well, you know, I don't know what America's coming to. They missed an open goal with that auto-chimping legislation. The chimp could not be tried because it is an animal. Since humans can be tried, we must assume that humans are not animals. That in itself should have drawn some attention from the biologists, who ought to have opposed the judgement (to say nothing of the humanhood of the great apes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Ape_Project). Of course, as soon as the biologists claim that we are animals, the fruitcake wing of the Christians must jump in to oppose them. The ideal result would be a law enacted that allowed nematode worms to drive without a licence, but required humans to have a licence to drive.

Re: K-5 10K
That's good to know about, if I was ever tempted; unlikely though. I do everything I can to keep the camera speed high, including turning off the rear LCD so it doesn't waste time making previews (or flash bright crap in my eye while framing the next shot). The only feature I have enabled is the dual-card-write redundancy, but it doesn't slow it down enough for me to notice.

Then, using the right-hand-side button in the cluster of 4 around the OK button, select the monochrome filter. This makes the jpeg monochrome; the preview image is that jpeg.

Re: K-5 Highlight save for Boris
That's a good example, Paul. Running the PS eye dropper over the seats almost all pixels have channel values of less than 255 - they are close, above 250, but not 100% blown out. As you demonstrate, even that little bit of a difference make it possible to salvage the highlights. If all three channels were at 255 all that could be done would be to make the pure white a shade of grey. (If you clip the histogram in the levels tool so the seats are pegged at 255-255-255 (8 bit per channel file, of course) recovery is then impossible.) Looking in levels again - there really is very little clipping of the histogram at either the high end or low end, so you actually nailed the shot well enough to have a recoverable image.

Ann, Put the original lens you were using on the camera, or put the lens back to the A aperture setting. We don't use the aperture ring on the K-5 unless you've set-up for it. Regards, Bob S.

Re: K-5 malfuction... or is it moi? HELP!
If you ask me it sounds like the lens isn't communicating with the body. Did you try cleaning all the contacts? If it has an aperture ring also try rotating off A and back. Since its not reading the lens type and focal length, I'm guessing its just not talking. I don't know if the electronics go bad in them. I've gotten an 18-55 so wet that my camera wouldn't recognize it once and it dried out and was fine eventually. Also try another lens if you haven't already.

Re: K-5 battery charging time
I was told by a friend that leaving the battery on for extend periods is bad because it trickles? I don't really understand that because it should just shut the charger off and stay off as long as the battery registers a charge, but he claimed that. Take it with a grain of salt. Overnight shouldn't pose much problem. Quite honestly keeping lithium ions at full charge all the time is a bad idea as they decrease in capacity faster that way. Same goes for completely dead. My K-7 battery that was original to the camera doesn't last nearly as long because I think that it may have had a few extended sessions in a dead state. YMMV of course.

Re: K-5 battery charging time
Note that the conventional wisdom was that you shouldn't believe the Charged light on the charger; rather, leave the battery there for another 30-45 minutes. I don't know if that ever made sense nor if it still applies, but I tend to be slow to take the charged battery off the charger. stan On Jul 17, 2013, at 9:33 PM, Ann Sanfedele wrote: > Thanks Larry and PJ - what I suspected but wanted to make sure. > the charger for the 4 "AA"'s for the *istD took a reay long time > > ann > > On 7/17/2013 20:59, Larry Colen wrote: >> On Wed, Jul 17, 2013 at 08:41:11PM -0400, Ann Sanfedele wrote: >>> HOw long should it take?

Re: K-5 battery charging time
There should be no problem the battery is "smart" and communicates with the charger, once it's fully charged it will just turn off, well assuming there are no electrical faults in either battery or charger. Full charge from an almost empty battery should take no more than a couple of hours. On 7/17/2013 8:41 PM, Ann Sanfedele wrote: HOw long should it take?

Re: K-5 SD card capacity
A very big factor in K-5 image size is ISO. Shots with more noise compress poorly as compared to the same shot at low ISO.
