    Question for Pentax users

    One of my students is having a problem with her Pentax, and I'm hoping someone can help us out.

    I don't recall the model she has (it's a newer, entry level body) but the issue is that when she switches the focus points to manual selection (so the directional buttons move the focus point), she can't change the ISO, which is the same button as 'right direction'.

    We couldn't figure out how to change the ISO without having to switch back to auto point selection first.

    Any ideas?
    There's no correlation between creativity and equipment ownership. None. Zilch. Nada. Actually, as the artist gets more into his thing, and as he gets more successful, his number of tools tends to go down. He knows what works for him. Expending mental energy on stuff wastes time.

    Press and hold the middle button. It should change the mode from point selection to the other functions.
    I'm so adjective, I verb nouns! Pentax K5 - Canon S90
    Pentax shooters are known to be the research-oriented type. How else would they have ended up with a Pentax?
