>>2703701>4.66 MBfirst off please resize your pics i realize you want us to see the pics in detail but 9000px is excessive.
Ok, I own the K-50 and love it to death, but go through the menu and shut off all the post-production features. They take up time, battery power, and they don't do anything you can't do later in post.
>no highlight correction>no shadow correction>neither of the two types of noise reduction>no color aberration correction>no geometric aberration correctionfinally, check your "custom image tone" setting. i leave mine on natural, the factory default for most shooting settings is "bright". that's the setting you probably want to change - you have several preset options but also you can make your own.
it's almost definitely not that your pentacks is creating dull images, it's probably that your old nikon was playing tricks and spicing up the shots for you. i had a lot of wake-up calls like this when i went from my p&s camera to my K-50. the p&s was doing noise reduction, gain boostin, color boosting, etc without my consent.
also, always love to meet another pentax bro, especially a K-50 bro!
