Are you talking about putting raw images back onto an SD card, inserting that into the camera and then displaying those? I've never tried it but I'd guess that as long as you put a Pentax-supported-DNG back on the card, that should work.
I can't speak for everyone of course, but I only work in one direction: camera (input) to computer (processing) to display/print (output). Never the reverse. Besides, I use the on-camera LCD as little as humanly possible. It's too teensy to see anything useful, and its gamma/tonal curves are bizarre. Nothing ever renders the same on the screen as what I see when I pull the image up in Lightroom or ACR. I cannot trust the LCD image, it's a warped, alien representation of the image. It's okay for checking for checking framing and if I removed the lens cap. On Fri, Oct 26, 2012 at 7:45 AM, J.C.
