Pentax 645n Questions
I have a couple of Pentax 645n questions, I've looked all over now I'm
trying the ".rec's" -- (8 years of computing and never visited the ".rec's" before). My first question is if there is a definitive forum/group for the really hardcore medium format Pentax shooter? And that is due to this second question -- the 645n has 8 custom functions that can be turned on or off by a Pentax service center. I had several done and I must say they are great. So my question is how does the service center preform these tasks? Is the camera hooked up to a computer/data bus which changes the firmware. Thanks all...jim |

mailing lists for pentax MF: there are a number of pentax MF mailing lists (I'm on one of the P67 lists IIRC), see http://medfmt.8k.com/mf/lists.html for some sample MF lists see http://egroups.yahoo.com and do a search on pentax - 50+ lists ===== access to changing embedded features check with local pentax MF repair sites, they may be able to provide you with access to manuals (at a stiff price) and support hardware and software to access and make the desired changes. Sometimes such software is claimed to be proprietary and not sold or licensed, however. Usually the mfger boosts the price or minimum order so only higher volume repair shops can justify the high costs for the required cabling, tools, software etc. hth bobm -- ************************************************** ********************* * Robert Monaghan POB 752182 Southern Methodist Univ.

No idea. But I believe that the camera cover needs to be disassembled.
