Originally posted by kwtodd1255 the "Set the Focal Length" is dimmed out where I cannot select it.
Most likely, it means the camera could read the focal length from the lens contacts, so you don't need to enter the focal length manually.

Add the astro-tracer function button in the INFO tile.

There's always a learning curve when we use a new device, or do something we've never done before, that's totally normal. We all went through a learning phase when we got out first Pentax camera, like everyone else when they got their first camera whatever the brand was. And the older we get, the slower we learn, I could notice this for myself as I'm not as quick to learn new things as I was when I was in my 20s.
