Re: Pentax Remote Assistant and the *ist DS (2.00)
Yes, PRA has worked fine on DS since I bought the camera. I don't know what the somewhat limited extent means as it has done everything I've wanted it to. I have not used it very often.

The green button isn't working (well, there is no such thing on the camera), some settings... but it's very usable, a nice tool indeed (and Pentax should continue the development imo). -- Best regards, Alex Sarbu
Re: Pentax Remote Assistant and the *ist DS (2.00)
RA was released for D only and as far as I know has never been revised for 100% proper operation with DS, DS2 or DL. I'm still waiting patiently . . . - Original Message - From: Fred [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Monday, December 5, 2005 9:34 am Subject: Pentax Remote Assistant and the *ist DS (2.00) I've read some reports that Pentax Remote Assistant works (to a somewhatlimited extent) with the DS (if it has firmware V.2.00).

Re: Pentax Remote Assistant and the *ist DS (2.00)
That's what I'm curious about too. Green button doesn't work, but then the DS has no green button. Everything else seems to work just fine. Godfrey On Dec 5, 2005, at 8:23 AM, P. J. Alling wrote: I'm curious, what works and what doesn't?
Re: Pentax Remote Assistant and the *ist DS (2.00)
I seem to recall that the default file save format was camera-raw and couldn't be changed, for one thing. There might be others as well. Also, the documentation for use with cameras other than the D is broken and Pentax wouldn't approve PRA's use on the other cameras until that is fixed. - Original Message - From: Godfrey DiGiorgi [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Monday, December 5, 2005 11:59 am Subject: Re: Pentax Remote Assistant and the *ist DS (2.00) That's what I'm curious about too.

Re: Pentax Remote Assistant and the *ist DS (2.00)
Hmm. Doesn't seem like much is broken then. I can't see any point to using PRA and NOT saving exposures in RAW format (it's all I use anyway). I've never even looked at the documentation, it all seems self explanatory to me.

Re: Pentax Remote Assistant and the *ist DS (2.00)
Hmmm... I just noticed that, at the top of the software download page for the *ist D on Pentax USA's site ( http://www.pentaximaging.com/customer_care/show_software?softId=1 ), the Remote Assistant is referred to as Remote ASSistant. Interesting capitalization - g... Fred
