OK, from what I see in the pictures taken after I managed to assemble the camera mount, the Raw files contain all the information (iso, time, f-stop, etc). So everything seems to work fine, for now...
If I understood right I should solder the wire in order to avoid a F-- error in the future?

Well, today is not a very good day for me. :mad:
Following some trouble with a M42 macro bellows on my K-3 I had to disassemble my lens mount.
Not a good idea, as I managed to break a wire that was soldered on metal ring behind the lens mount...
The "metal ring" I'm talking about is on the left in the photo below ((c)Dave Robinson, taken from this post: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/114-maintenance-repair-articles/306083-k-...nt-repair.html).
So I assembled the lens mount without the wire connected to that piece. The AF works fine on the 16-50 (I haven't tried any other lenses yet).
Could someone tell me what that wired did? I think the "metal ring" it's some kind of a contact but I cannot understand what it does.
Thank you for your help! :)

Just installed DCU and the rendering (once I select the good profile, like "Bright") is far more accurate than Camera Raw. :)
Working with DCU on the other hand... :fedup: I'm one step away from hitting my calibrated screen :) (I use Datacolor Spyder) with my keyboard.
Thank you for taking time to answer my problems ! I hope that I will find a way to reproduce the same colors in Camera RAW...

I will try using Digital Camera Utility to see if it works better. I know that I already tested the software a year ago, without big improvement.
But thanks for the idea, I will come back soon with the results..

thank you for your answer, what I'm trying to replicate is the color in DNG preview whici corresponds with the "real" colors observed when the picture was made :)
I totally understand the difference between the Pentax modes (Bright, Landscape,etc) and the color profiles (sRGB ,etc), I was thinking that my problem has something to do with the "Camera Profile" under "Color Calibration" in Camera Raw... At this moment I have 2 options: Embedded and Adobe Standard and neither work. Nor playing with the settings below .... whatever I do I never get the same tones of red.

also, I'm using Pentax for years (k10,k20,k5,k5ii,k01 and now k3) and only on the K3 i've seen this kind of problem...

no, maybe I wasn't clear enough: I'm not comparing AdobeRGB with sRGB or JPG vs RAW but the result of a JPG export from a RAW file between the camera and Photoshop.
I've tried SilkyPix (the Pentax Software) but it gives the same results....
so, once again:
1. the image was taken in RAW DNG, AdobeRGB.
2. the colors in the JPG preview embeded in the file look alright.
3. when I open the RAW and export in CameraRaw (using the sRGB space) the reds (and sometimes the yellows) are washed out (see the above example); the result is the same for AdobeRGB space;
4. when I open the RAW and export in camera (using the sRGB space) everything is Ok at color level: the red is what is should be; the result is the same for AdobeRGB space;
This happens only for images with a strong red dominant (or maybe I notice this only in this kind of image, because of the big difference it creates).

here's another example:
as for the other image, I cannot retrieve withe CameraRAW the same tones of red (and yellow) as in the second image. I tried all combinations possible, nothing works...
first image: RAW opened with CameraRAW and saved without any corrections; color profile: embedded in the RAW file
second image: JPG image saved in camera; Bright Profile used (the same embedded in the RAW file);

Hello everyone,
I'm posting here as I have a recurrent problem with my DNG files when shooting images that have lot of red in them, especially sunsets/sunrises.
Here is the data:
- Pentax K-3, I shoot only RAW DNG, AdobeRGB, Bright Color Profile.
- I use Camera RAW (Photoshop CC) to develop the images.
The problem is that for the "red" images Photoshop will mute the red channel, giving the image a light-dirty-orange look. See the examples below, first two are developed through CameraRAW, the other 2 directly through the camera. The images below are sRGB but the problem is the same in AdobeRGB space.
The ones that were developed IN CAMERA (number 3 and 4) are extremely close to the preview of the DNG file and the "real" situation on site. The ones made with Camera RAW (number 1 and 2) are pure garbage.
Has anyone dealt with such a problem? Is there a color profile that I should use in order to avoid this problem?
Thank you in advance and I hope somebody can help me
Stefan
