Problem solved! Found a previous thread on the same issue and in Menu C1, under AF with Live View, when you set focus peaking to OFF then I can check the histogram box in C5 (and highlight alert)

Yes it does have something similar. Under Multi exposure, set to Composite mode, and set that to bright. This means it will add only bright pixels to subsequent image.
This is also available in interval composite mode, but you are required to have a minimum of 2 seconds between shots. However you need to pre-determine how many shots you will take, whereas I believe you can stop the process at anytime on the Olympus as you see it unfold live on the screen.
It is a fantastic mode for capturing lightning strikes cumulatively, and of course using the interval mode it's great for star trails.
I think Olympus has done it really well and it is a key feature for their om-d cameras

Megapixelmk, thank you so much!
Are you referencing this lens: Pentax SMCP-DA 16-45mm f/4.0 ED AL A?
(I googled for the range and that came up)
Thank you, again!
Annie
Yes that's the one Annie. Although older, it's a favorite of users on this site and very light. And it can be picked up used for very little outlay.
Given landscape photography is what you enjoy (like me) I am personally a big fan of zoom lens starting at 16mm. It's equivalent to 24mm full frame and that's a sweet spot for landscape for me. I've never been a fan of the 18-55 or 20-40mm for that reason. The extra few millimeters make a big difference!
Also to be recommended if you want to go down the ultra wide route is the 12-24mm. Look up the reviews by users. It is truly value for money.
I also agree with the previous sentiment : Pixel peeping is a modern day curse and too much of it occupies the minds of too many photographers. Instead, stand back and enjoy your work as a whole. 😉

You can't go wrong with the KP, and pixel peeping (since you are into that) will not disappoint. Also it is built tough. Mine has endured a few dunks and spills in a river as well as the odd knock, and keeps on regardless. I haven't owned the 16-50mm so I can't comment on it, but I do recommend the 16-85mm, especially at the wide end. I also loved the older 16-45mm, and achieved some of my best images with it.
Regarding shooting jpegs there are a multitude of custom settings where you can fine tune your jpegs to your own tastes... just experiment with them.
The KP in my opinion is one the best crop sensor dslrs out there. I don't think you will regret it.

I don't want to be The Grinch and I completely agree with clackers that sometimes new equipment can inspire you to get out more. But I am intrinsically opposed to the idea that equipment can make you a better photographer. It can help you achieve your vision in better ways, but I feel that it's more about things like vision and composition

Full frame is due near the end of the year. When it was announced, one of the few details about it was that it would have a crop mode. So it will work with any k mount lens you have.
Given your description of what you want... wafer thin depth of field, very large gallery size prints etc I'm surprised you went for the K3 as opposed to full frame.
Just enjoy the K3 for now; its a great camera and will still yield large print sizes and fine image quality

Hi, I joined last year but have mainly been a spectator rather than a participator.
This site has become an essential part of my routine, such is the quality of the posts. I have been a Pentax user from the time I bought my first
camera: a Spotmatic. Various Pentax's came and went: the ME Super, the Z10. Then there was a gap before I got into the digital age with the KR. Since then I'm a happy owner of the K30.
I love photography but find it hard to find time to indulge. I would like to improve my knowledge of the post processing images. I have a Flickr page www.flickr.com/photos/mkferguson. I love landscape and long exposure, preferably black and white.
Thanks Adam for a great site, and I look forward to learning a lot more (and participating more).
