Great shots! Glad you're enjoying the camera.
Originally posted by Jon Haha, ah well. After over 300 shots the battery is still going strong, near full (at least the display says so).
That's a minor annoying thing about the battery LCD display. It takes nearly 400 shots for the meter to go from green to yellow, then only 50-75 or so until it dies. It can be deceiving, thinking you have 3/4 of a battery left, when really you have less than half. That's why I carry a spare.
Originally posted by Jon I thumbed through a PDF version of the manual on my flights today, and learned quite a bit. Most cameras I have had didn't have such a learning curve, but I hear that is Pentax's thing.
I *tried* reading the manual, front to back. It's just like . . . reading a manual. Only got half way. I've learned a lot more from browsing these forums (specifically the DSLR and the K30 sub-forums) and reading up on past threads, and of course messing around with my camera. More fun that way too.
I do keep a PDF copy of the manual on my phone though, just in case I need to reference something in the field.
