Oof. Just waded through a 15-page thread on PF about this... "K-5 Mirror Disorder"... My take is that it seems to be a problem with over-charged batteries... On Mon, Feb 6, 2012 at 4:25 PM, Christine Nielsen wrote: > On Mon, Feb 6, 2012 at 12:08 PM, Larry Colen wrote: >> &g

Instant JPEG from RAW utility

Stumbled upon this the other day in a Scott Kelby book I was browsing at a warehouse club store maybe some of you have seen it? It's a utility that will extract the jpeg preview from RAW files. Interesting, I thought. Works with the DNG files, looking forward to seeing if it will conjure the
