Re: K10D RGB histograms in the instant review

2007-09-18 Thread Axel Belinfante
 I don't recall reading this manual, and found it accidentally when 
 shooting a show one night.
 
 Set the K10D to digital preview, and take a preview shot. Then use the 
 up/down button to toggle between full histogram and RGB histogram. That 
 setting will be used for all instant review shots (if you have the 
 histogram on, of course). One of the many little things I love about the 
 K10D.

I'm only aware of a 'deep down' menu entry to
switch between DOF-preview and digital preview.
I have occasionally wondered whether a more direct
way to switch would be helpful
(eg. something like the RAW button  --
which I don't use because I shoot RAW+ anyway).

I'm curious whether I'm alone in this?


Axel.

Hi Derby,

The digital preview is a great tool and it appears to be pretty widely
used by members of various Pentax fora at least. The discussion these
days centre around what the in-camera jpg settings should be set to to
provide the most accurate histogram view for RAW shooters as the
histogram is apparently based on a low res jpg interpretation of the
scene.

BTW your film is (in the) safe.

Cheers,

Hi Rob,

When I read about the digital preview feature, I though...meh, what's 
the big deal. But once I started using it, it is so handy. I've got some 
catching up to do in the archives I suppose (or as Kenny Everett used to 
say, in the bowels of the BBC archives).
