I've recently got a nice looking Q-S1. It has a couple of "quirks" however...
Firstly, when I took the battery out to charge it, it lost the date and time settings. Should it do that? I've not had to reset those with my other Pentaxes.
Secondly, it will often zoom right into an image when I am trying to take a photo. Helpful in manual focus but a pain otherwise. Am I knocking something accidentally, or is there a fault?
Many thanks, Kris.
Congrats on the Q-S1. The missing date & time is something that happens to most Q. Some people have luck opening the battery door and pumping the battery in and out (without Locking ) multiple times to exercise the electrical contacts. If this doesn't work, the battery can be swtched in about 5 seconds, retaining the memory.
There is a function to turn off the magnified view in manual focus. On the Q7 it's menu>camera icon page 1>AF/MF Settings>MF. Then on that page scro down to MF Autozoom and select Off.
Hope to see some of your images. Enjoy the Q.
Thanks,
