Sorry to read that Bob. They'll fix it for you. My son managed to drop his 750Z and broke the top selector wheel clean off (mind you there were 6 lads all wrestling each other at the time). It's from eBay so after examination it was plain the wheel was not going to work again. I put a screwdriver across the 'Program' terminals on the PCB underneath so it's locked on 'P' and superglued the wheel back on. The shutter still works so hey presto. Means he can'd do movies with it anymore but what self-respecting stills camera does movies !?!?! :-) -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
