I usually use the histogram after exposure to make sure I got it right. I usually shoot hand held with a monopod. Today I used a tripod, and mirror lock up, because I wanted slow shutter speed to slightly blur breaking waves. I discovered that with the cable release plugged in, there was no image replay with histogram. It would not play back either. If I made a shot, then unplugged the cable release, the replay with histogram came up, no problem. Is this normal? BTW the cable release is a generic release, not the Pentax brand. Thanks in advance.

Dave, I don't have an answer, but I would encourage you to get the Pentax weatherproof IR remote. It is so much more convenient in the field and there is no playback issue--yes, it will work with MLU. I put a lanyard on it and hang it around my neck.

Thank you! Great idea....I will order one tomorrow!

I went to B&H site and also Pentax Store. There are TWO remotes: The Weather Proof Remote Control WP ($29.95 list price), and the Remote Control F ($33 list). It is not clear which one (or both) will work with 645D. If both work, what are the pros & cons of each? Pentax site is very unclear about what works with what. Can you help again? Much appreciated!

Hi Dave!
You need the WP remote:

The F model is an older one not weather proofed and with a single button (shutter release).

+1 The model is O-RC1.

All of the remotes work equally well. Get the cheapest one you can lay your hands on. And maybe get two since they are very easy to misplace.
This is a brilliant accessory and a must for all 645D owners.

Correct me if I am wrong Nick, but I think it is only the O-RC1, the weatherproof model, that you can activate AF on a separate button on the remote. So far I have not found the Fn button on the remote to do anything with the 645D.

Thanks all. I will order it today!
