Yes, what you said about the auto WB and sunset is my experience also.

For thirty plus years I shot 35 mm film. I made the switch to digital when I purchased the K7, then I bought the K3. I love both cameras and finally feel as comfortable shooting digital as I did with film. But a few things nag at me with digital.
1. I keep reading from experts that white balance settings do not affect RAW images, but in my experience changing the white balance settings on camera certainly affects the image in Lightroom. Granted you can easily adjust WB in LR but the original imported image will display whatever WB you have selected on camera. Am I missing something with this comment? I ask this question because I love to shoot nature shots, especially during the golden hour or slightly afterwards. I always find it a challenge to match the colors in LR with what I have seen with my eyes. So, what is the best way to preserve white balance especially with sunsets or other light where the color of the light is so critical.
2. I have my camera color space set to adobe RBG. Does this actually make any difference when shooting using a raw file format?
3. Is there any advantage to using PEF file format rather than the Adobe DNG format? I primarily use LR or Photoshop to PP my photos.
Thanks,
Mark

I solved the problem! I don't have my camera in front of me, but I believe it is menu C27 that must be enabled. This menu item allows the shutter to release if the lenses is not set to A. Since I shoot the Tokina 28-70 Pro on manual, this setting must be enabled for the lense to work on the camera. All is well now!

I recently purchased the K3 and I'm very happy except one problem. The autofocus on my wonderful 2.8 28-70 Tokina doesn't work. I used this lense frequently on my K7 and the autofocus worked fine. No problems. But on my K3, it seems like the camera doesn't recognize the lens. The AF doesn't do anything. There is not any noise or movement whatsoever.
Does anyone have a clue what could be the problem? I have the 1.03 firmware loaded. I did not try the Tokina lens on the K3 prior to updating the firmware.
Thanks,
Mark
