K1 Newcomer !

starckimages · 05-25-2017, 03:51 AM

Hi
Just in process of learning about my new K1, which so far I am very happy with.
This may be basic, but is the top selection knob setting for HDR just an on/off switch
for the settings you've already chosen in HDR menu?

Other question is why do K1 lenses fit ricoh camera but ricoh lens doesnt fit K1?

Thx

I don't have a K-1 so I am unable to answer your questions, so I will just say " Hi " from Australia and welcome to the Pentax forums.
Good to have you aboard.

The K-1 is an amazing tool. Enjoy.

I am not a fan of HDR, so I have never used that feature on the K-1.

As for the Ricoh pin, Google is your friend - read THIS

If you turn the top dial to HDR, then you can cycle through the HDR possibilities (OFF, AUTO, 1,2,3 ADV) using the unmarked knob - you can see this happening in the blue box, lower left, on the rear LCD

Welcome from Poole Harbour, btw
