Program 2 gps astrotracer timed exposure position and exposure time. This time can be adj as well with front wheel. I was doing the same thing last night and got caught by this as well. Been some time since I used OGPS-1 is my excuse.

Eneloop batteries - Do I need a new charger ?

I have a La Crosse charger which worked well for a short while then crapped out. Have also used two La Crosse weather centres that were never more reliable so needless to say I,ve given up on La Crosse products. I appreciate the recommendations in this thread.

O-GPS1 and electronic compass on K-30?

Tap "Info" twice and you will see a compass symbol on the far right. Enter that for compass which I find quite useful. The navigation feature was discontinued after the KR and the 5 I believe.

Just my experiences. I have purchased many items from forum members in the US to be shipped to me in Canada, the most recent a Sigma 150-500, which the seller graciously agreed to on request. I always request USPS because their shipping rates are quite acceptable and they don't charge brokerage fees. I have never been charged duty nor taxes due to the items being second hand. Where charges come in is with shipping by couriers like Fedex or UPS as they charge brokerage fees which I understand can be very high.

simbon4o,
I am trying to understand what you mean about liveview stopping you down. Checked this on my k30 and I don't seem to see what you see. At this moment I have the da35 2.4 mounted and when I go to live view with 2.4 it remains there and I have full control over it (2.4-22)?? Checked the Tamron 90 macro as well and works just fine?? Am I missing something? btw I have v1.02 installed.

I have one that will be surplus to my needs as I just purchased a tamron 90mm from a member. I see you're in Van and I'm in Williams Lake so this could be a very simple transaction. The 150 is like new with box and all original contents.

When you have entered the date format, date and time you have to finish off by going down to "Settings Complete" and press OK or they won't remain.

Capture menu 4 / Button Customization / AF/AEL / Enable AF2 AF with shutter release button is disabled so AF is performed with the AF?EE-L button.

In photo 2 I believe you can just see a bit of the black bib. Feeding on the ground is also typical for Flickers as they and chickens regularly feed on ants.

I have a Sony TV remote (RM-YD014) and it works with the KR during 'continuous press' Bulb mode. This thing is really quite good as it also does continuous shooting and continuous shooting in Catch in Focus. My wife won't let me take it very far thought!
