I'm glad to see that Ricoh is continuing to release Pentax DSLRs but unfortunately the major competition for this camera will be the K-3 and K-3II, and even the K-5 series, and with some reservations the K-P.  I'd say that they are capable of 90% of anything anyone wants to do in general photog

Someone guessed it could be a "proximity sensor". If the camera has a touch-screen, that gets turned off when you look through the viewfinder. It is similar to cell-phones that turn off the screen when you bring it to your ear. Igor Toine Fri, 20 Sep 2019 13:04:48 -0700 wrote: The sensor
