silkypix manual?

tws · 07-30-2022, 03:21 PM

How do I download the manual for the Digital Camera Utility 5 (silkypix) that was supplied with my K-70? I loaded the program in my computer, but haven't a clue how to use it. I have the Pentax K-70 e-book by Bourque and all it says is, "After installing the software, open and download the manual." But I cannot find where to do this anywhere on the program. I'm totally lost. Anyone have an answer?

Hi and welcome!

Have a look at this thread: Pentax Digital Camera Utility - A Mini Guide - PentaxForums.com
In post #11 in that thread, you'll also find a link to a .pdf user guide.

It is for an older version, but I think there's commonalities with what you're using.

Kind regards,
Mark

With the program open, press F1 (on a Windows pc) or open it from the Help menu.
It's a bit cryptic in places, but quite comprehensive if you stick with it.
Do note, the current version of Digital Camera Utility, v5.9.4, available here as an upgrade Software Downloads : Support & Service | RICOH IMAGING , is far easier to use than the version on the CD.
Even though it "looks" very similar there are now "mouse-overs" for most items, so a lot less referencing of the help file is needed. There are also extra features added

These pages ???????RAW??????????Digital Camera Utility 5 ?1??????? | PENTAX official from the people who wrote the program can give further insights

Enjoy!
