Subject: First shoot with the K10


> Here is my first portrait shoot with the K10. This is pretty much a 
> straight dump to the website, so there may be some warty pictures in 
> there.
> I shot DNGs using AWB, and the digital review histogram as a flash 
> meter.
> The pictures were shot with the A85/1.4 at f5.6 at iso100.
> I'm pretty happy with the white balance as shot, it's just a tad warm, 
> but studio lights tend to be. I want to play around with the custom WB 
> settings, I am pretty sure I can nail the WB really closely with this 
> camera.

> Not the best, but I wasn't using my own flash equipment, which will

> The screen is very easy to focus manually with under the modelling 
> lights, and the camera responds very quickly. I had no waits for the 
> buffer to empty, and according to the time stamps, I shot 56 files in 6 
> minutes, 17 seconds.
> Thats a picture every 7 seconds, which isn't doable on the istD.

> I'm happy.
