Not sure what you mean by recognise thecamera, it recognises the Raw file. I have installed and run softwarethat comes with the K3II and I can't see any difference at 100%, Both DigitalUtility 5 and Lightroom seem to accept (treat) the file in the same way exceptthat Utility 5 has a button for Pixel shift. I have to say at this pointthat I am an amateur and when I try to delve too far into a subject I end upconfusing myself. I will in future probably open all my PS files in Utilty 5 and save them as TIFFS prior to processing them. |

Thanks for the reply, LR version 5 with RAW 7.1 and later (thats what it said in preferences) CS6 with RAW v9.1. What you say makes sense but I seem to be able to ramp up the sharpening as if its dealing with the full 120meg file. I am going to load the free program that came with the Camera and see how that works. But I must say that Lightroom seems to do a great job.

I timed my visit to Sandsend for when the Sunrise coincided with the tide coming in, the idea was that I could try out the Pixel Shift on my K3II. What I wanted was to capture the Wooden Groins and the Sea swirling around them, since pixel shift is only useful for still subjects I took several with pixel shift and without moving the tripod I took several without pixel shift. The aim was to combine them.
Can someone tell me why when I open a Pixel Shift RAW file up in CS6 it does not seem to recognise it and the green artefacts carry on through but if I open it in the Lightroom Develop module the Green artefacts magically disappear.
IMGP2679-1.jpg has been processed in Lightroom with basic adjustments, except that the sharpening was boosted to 90.
IMGP2679-2.jpg has just been opened in CS6 RAW processer then opened and saved to jpg.
As far as I know they both use the same RAW convertor.

Taken while on holiday, at about 3000 feet, the boulders are called bombs because they are discharged from the volcano in an eruption. |

Thanks for replying, I love the camera it's just that I bought a Sigma 150-500mm and with my K10d it had to be really good light to use it, but now with the K5 the lights not an issue or so I thought. I usually have it set in AV auto ISO 80-3200 and I have just bought a bag hide and plan to photograph wildlife in woodland, so reckoned on increasing up to 6400 ISO. I know your probably right and any loss of detail will be my technique rather than the camera, thanks for putting my mind at rest and happy shooting.
Mike.

I have read in an unrelated forum on another site that the K5 applies NR to RAW files at 3200 ISO and above, is this correct. I always have NR unticked and thought this meant that no NR would be applied

Hi, I was just pointing out that there were other possible options that might work before going down a route that I for one would not have the confidence or knowledge to undertake. I worry about touching my lenses with fluid never mind the sensor, so far I have been lucky, I must have only had the 99% of dust particles because it has always worked. It would be good if you made a YouTube video and sent us the link, I must say that since I have had the K5 dust has not been a big problem, when I have had dust in there, its own dust removal system has worked 90% of the time.

Thanks for the reply, I was referring to the coking P filter and you've answered my question apart from the adaptor rings, do the adaptor rings that fit the P coking fit any other filter holder.
