In general, I like most of the UI changes on the K-3 III, but there is one that really annoys me, and that is the histogram display. My preferred mode of image review was the RGB histogram, I'd see the photo and the RGB histogram, and that was pretty much what I wanted to check, in other words, was I blowing out any of the color channels. This can be a real issue when photographing things like flowers. Now, rather than showing different histograms for each channel, it has all of the channels on one histogram, like lightroom, plus every possible bit of information that they can throw in, using half of the screen on crap that only matters if you shoot jpeg. The size of the image is so small that at best it is useful for helping you recognize which frame you're looking at, and the two histograms are so small as to be useless, never mind that the "black and white" histogram is pretty much redundant with the "combined RGB". I had tried to RTFM to see how to fix it, but it doesn't seem possible.
I am quite interested in the "highlight" exposure mode, since I usually shoot to prevent blowouts. The "pan mode" shake reduction looks quite interesting for when I next play with photographing motorsports. -- Larry Colen [email protected]. sent from Mirkwood -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
