Hello!

I've been wondering if it's possible, to change the counter to show the number of pictures left on the second card? In 1st slot I have a 16 GB card (for RAW), the 2nd is for JPEG (4 GB). It seems logical, that the camera displays info for the lower capacity card, but it's possible, to change it for the 2nd one? It's a minor thing, but it really annoys me somehow I couldn't find anything in the manual. Maybe it switches to the 1st slot when the 2nd one is full?

Extra questions:

1. If I look at the top LCD display near 90 degree angle, the bottom line on the display itself is a little crooked (when compared to dark strap along the bottom of plastic screen protector). It's only me or your specimen have that also?
2. Original Pentax D-BG5, does all the buttons and dials feel the same as in the body, or it's a slightly different experience?
3. Would you recommend getting hahnel D-Li90 batteries as a 2nd "juice source" for K-3?
4. Does Peak Design v4 anchor links are thin enough to fit strap mounting holes? Or the triangle is required?

Thank you in advance for answering.

Q4. I use the latest Peak Design anchors without triangles (K-1 and KP). Works but it's a bit fiddly to get there.

If one is set for sequential write, the top LCD shows an estimate for the active card. For other write types, it shows slot #1. If one wants to start on slot #2 for sequential write rather than slot #1, a little trickery is involved...

• With camera OFF, remove the card from slot #1
• Turn the camera ON and note that slot #2 is active and that the estimate for that card is displayed on the top LCD
• Turn the camera OFF and replace put the card removed from slot #1 back in that slot
• Turn the camera ON and note that write is still to slot #2 and that the estimate reflects the card in that slot

To change back, do the same steps above, only giving the nod to slot #1.

Define "a little crooked". Mine has a slight rise to the right, maybe -0.5°.

2. Original Pentax D-BG5, does all the buttons and dials feel the same as in the body, or it's a slightly different experience?

It has been a few years since I sold mine, but memory is that the buttons and dials are similar enough to those on the body that they did not feel strange or different.

Mine's the same

This is exactly what I meant. I thought maybe my specimen is not well put together, but it looks like it's normal.

Thanks for help.
