The new manual uses a "2 vertical pages per horizontal sheet of paper" format (prints in Landscape) to save paper. The k-3 manual is 114 pages (printed) while the K-5ii/iis manual was 336 pages. The K-3 is therefore the equivalent of 228 pages in the K-5ii/iis format. On Wed, Oct 23, 2013 at 4:44

Interestingly, SEPARATE from the "Anti-Aliasing Filter Simulator" there is a "Color Moire Correction" *1 and *2 to be found in the Playback Mode Palette Items.

Thanks Jostein. I had just purchased a loaf of bread at a farmers market stand but had forgotten it. The merchant gave the bread to the young lady with the policeman's hat and asked her to chase after me with it. As I saw her approaching, I raised the camera. She stopped momentarily and posed.
