Originally posted by biz-engineer I should say that what I wrote in from my personal preferences. If I'll get the K-1 , I don't think I'll use more than what's available on K-5 and K-3. Other users may feel otherwise.
I think the first thing I will do when I get my K-1 is to go through the entire menu and make the same settings that I have on my K-3II. (And they in turn were derived from the settings in my K-5IIs).
Where possible, I want my cameras to work in a similar way. because it makes things much easier for me. I have been generating my own profiles to use in Lightroom and Photoshop for years, for the same reason. As a result, my cameras tend to have similar colour-rendition.
But where a camera offers more things that are of use to me, I will then add that to my workflow. (And I will ignore any extra features that don't benefit me). If the Function dial had nothing for me, I would ignore it. But I've worked out that
apparently it will enable me to work more effectively in fast changing situations.
