I'm currently in the Cayman Islands and forgot something so simple about my K20. I'm wanting to take JPEGS and DNG at the same time. But when I go to the record function in the menu, my options are JPEG, RAW and RAW + RAW. It used to say RAW + JPEG. What happened and how to I fix it without restorting to defualt. I don't want to reset all my custom stuff.

I know I'll have an answer soon. Can't wait to catch some of the beauty of this place.

It should have a Raw + jpeg option in there. The other option is to use dng press the button on front but you would have to do it every time you wanted a jpg.

It's werid, it used to say +jpeg. And I've gone through the owners guide and the whole menu and can't find a darn thing.

I just checked my K20d menu and it should say, Raw+ which is for DNG plus jpeg. There is a separate line for dng or pef choice for the raw format. I have the raw button setup to do Raw +. That is also a separate line several scrolls down the menu.

This is about my K-r but maybe it helps with your K20.

I'm not near my camera but I recall my display showing "RAW+DNG" or "RAW+PEF" when I'm set to capture JPEG and RAW at the same time. The RAW+ part indicates it's taking a RAW plus a JPEG. The 2nd word indicates which of the 2 RAW formats has been selected.

It should just say RAW+. You set the RAW file format in a different menu.

Thank you all!! It works just fine. I got a little dramatic because of the vacation. Glad it's solved. Cheers.
