No offense, but you have zero "engineering knowledge" about the accelerator.
Originally posted by Class A What if you asked a plumber to install a water tap that can provide any kind of water temperature and volume based on the the setting of a single lever and they replied to you that this is impossible. What if they said you can only have two taps, one for cold and one for hot and you'll have to mix the water in the sink? Would you believe the plumber?
What if you said: "No, I really want a single tap with a single lever and I know it can be done".
How do you respond when the plumber asks you "What makes you so sure?"?

I'm not a plumber. I'm a software engineer, and we're discussing a computing problem. I do not have to discuss water taps, and my argument about the accelerator is actually that it could be done, but it's more than an on-off switch..

How do you know that neutralising the "accelerator" unit wouldn't give one K-1 images from a K-1 II without further work?
Because the software isn't designed to work without the accelerator. You'd need to include the K-1's processing and calibration, as well.

I already did it a few days ago.

That's a 100% fine.
The only problem we are having is that you are trying to force your view on those who see a reason and belittle them by insinuating they act from a "
fear of loss".
There is no zero cost task.
Even removing features have a cost, often not insignificant. Making sure the camera's processing chain can work in two modes? That's bound to have a cost. Am I the bad guy for saying the obvious truth? Is the pointy haired manager the good guy?
I'm not insinuating, I'm not judging, I'm not blaming; I recognize a situation.
I don't think I want to get raffle entries this way. Should we stop, or at least start discussing - preferably on a dedicated topic?
