I just bought the K5. Previously I was shooting with the K10- so wow! A totally different shooting experience!
I need to use my new camera mostly for in studio work with speed lights.
When shooting with speed lights all settings are manual and here is the problem...
The K5 (after about 10 min of shooting fine) stops triggering the flashes in manual mode! It may or may not start triggering the flashes again- this is totally random!
I can not be busy with a client and half way through the shoot nothing works!
Any help would be appreciated.
Further information:
* I use an Elinchrom Skyport transmitter with receivers.
* I have charged everything and bought new batteries for the transmitter.
* I have swapped the transmitter for a flash- and the flash will fire without a problem.
* I placed the Elinchrom transmitter on my K10 and the lighting system worked perfectly.
* I have tried using all the possible flash drive modes- no luck.
* I have jiggled the transmitter - no luck.
* If I press the test button on the transmitter the lights fire perfectly.
Please, please, please- all suggestions are welcome!
The bottom line is I need a totally reliable system for my photography work- and right now this capricious hot shoe has me way on edge!

Here's a different question I think...
I've been doing a bit of portrait shooting recently.
I would like to have a set of standard jpeg pictures NOT taken by my camera (K10) in a folder on a memory card.
The idea is that I can use these for quick reference regarding lighting or posing or other ideas/practicalities.
How can I do this?
I have tried moving jpegs into a pre-existing folder on a memory card- no luck.
I have also tried replacing an existing jpeg picture on a memory card with another picture. Doing this in Photoshop and then saving- no luck.
Has anybody done this before?
Any ideas as to how it could be done?
I assume it has to do with an exact format that a Pentax camera saves jpegs in, but I'm in technical dark waters here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
