No "(C)ustom" menu tab on my Pentax K-7

Greg_NYC · 05-15-2017, 03:34 PM

In my manual and all online literature, I see that there is supposed to be a "C" menu (4th tab) in my Pentax K-7 menu. But I don't have that tab at all. Do I need to update firmware, or do something else to add the "(C)ustom" tab to my camera's menu? Thanks! Greg (NYC)

Thats very odd. Can you post a photo of the menu screen? Is the C tab disabled when in Green mode?

Good thinking

The K-7 manual is silent on the matter if it is.

Yup, simply turn the mode dial to P (or anything else) rather than green.

It's the same on the K-5.
