What's everyone's take on the rear screen on the KP? I absolutely love the color and detail and user-friendliness out of the files from this camera once I've seen them on a computer. However when I invariably end up chimping during a session and review the images on the back screen to see if I've gotten a shot many many times I've found that what I initially rejected as "missed" when I reviewed in-camera have look great to spectacular once imported to Lightroom. Are there settings to make the screen better or is it just what it is and I have to re-learn trusting my instincts as a photographer.

I only use the rear screen to check the histogram. If you want better focus then use focus peaking in live view.
For colour balance then use a white card and balance to that. The screen is only displaying jpeg 8bit colour so you will need to put it up on screen for colour balance on full 14bit colour in RAW. Then save TIFF or convert back down to jpeg.
I agree, a 14 bit display would be good. I'll put it on my whish list.

This is so much fun, climb a hill, pano, stills, then lunch followed by a phone camera picture of kp 55-300. Lovely.

Three butterflies in the one shot? Twice? Care to share the luck around?

Love that hairy caterpillar!

Nice shots, man!

A few more..........K2. The secret is lots of Milkweed, morning and sun.

Shot from a bike ride today. Wish I had shot it at a slightly lower f stop to create more depth but I like the look anyways. The 40mm xs pancake really is a performer.

Aperture stacked. Normally I do this with lensbaby velvet 56 but here we see the versatile HD DA 20-40 have a go at it.
