K-x Debug Mode Activation Method

Similar to the method(s) for entering the debug mode of most later Pentax DSLRs, here is the latest disclosure, for the K-x:-

http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1036&message=33494665

Quoted:-

"How to get into DEBUG mode for K-x, firmware 1.0:

1) create file MODSET.492 with
[OPEN_DEBUG_MENU]

  • line must end with CR/LF (endline char in windows)

2) turn on the camera while holding +- (Av) button

3) congratulations, you are in debug menu"

But there is just one interesting and valuable thing Pentax has officially warned us in the above thread, that is, before you are to send your cam under warranty back to servicing, do remember to deactivate the debug mode!

Whoah. Just found this site... very cool... so much info! I am trying to learn as much about the Kx as I can... I'm a NIkon person, myself (can I say that here without getting fined? :) ... but I'm really intrigued by the latest from Pentax. I've just read a nice overview from Imaging resource and liked the field test review (with raw video on vimeo) of the Kx over on Photocrati ... but nothing is quite so in depth as here. Cool stuff

I'm glad that you do like my site and I shall try my best to write better new articles and catch up the latest news. Stay tuned! :-)
Hello,

The " debug mode " doesn't function anymore with the last firmware, when I press the AV+/- key at the same time as the button holding in march I have the debug mode well, me chosen debug mode " EN", then OK, but the a black screen, if I push on menu as it is described, it displays the menu of the camera, therefore impossible to bring in the " debug mode ", I tried other keys, nothing, can be has there it a combination of keys to arrive there. Pentax has to modify it its system since on Internet appeared this process with the version 1.00 of the firmware.
In fact, the debug mode functions well with the last firmware, I was mistaken........
RiceHigh, thanks for the abundance of information...I'll be definitely be coming back for your new posts.

anywho, besides maxime, has anyone been successful in running the debug mode with v1.01?
