ist d (sony) remote
I just found out that the remote for our TV fires my DS. What is a nice extra feature, it DOES activate the autofocus. When I press the '0' button on the remote the camera focusses until it gets a focus lock and then immediatly fires the shutter.

ist d (sony) remote
less geeky but true... the remote that came with my Espio mini 12 years ago seems to work with all current Pentax cameras, and its still on the original battery. Back to geekiness... some mobile pnones can be used as IR remotes, any ideas Matt? Ken

Back to geekiness... some mobile pnones can be used as IR remotes, any ideas Matt? Can't you "teach" it the code from your Espio remote?? (I too have an Espio remote that works a treat ;) ) Matt

ist D firmware update
any views on the firmware update? my 2p. I like it. Find I use my manual primes more than `A` lens. Bolt on the manual set the app, focus, press green button, app closes, meters and opens again, fire. Lovely. jayson

PictBridge support in istd
It WAS mentioned on the technical specifications for the camera on the pentax web site, both in Europe and the US. I note that the specs page on both the US and UK sites has now been changed and PictBridge support has been excised. I have also contacted Pentax UK and they have not confirmed that...

I dropped my Optio S
:oops: In a partially drunken state I dropped my Optio S, while it was on, onto a stone floor. All that seems to have happened is that the three outer metal rings of the lens have come off. The camera still works but I have been reluctant to take a photo with it in the present state. Can I ...

Backing up CF cards while travelling
Can anyone recommend a reliable way to back up CF cards while on the road? Ideally I would like a way to copy the data off of the card onto a local hard drive, powered from a car 12V adaptor.

New to Board and Problems with my S4...Can anyone help me?
Gilly, (I don't have an S4, but these comments are 'general' in nature, and gleaned from the various reviews) http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/pentaxoptios/page8.asp, show the Optio S, at least, had a very respectable shutter lag. They haven't reviewed the S4. As you might notice from the timi...

Photoshop *ist D Raw Support
Ava, I can't help much with PS but I do have to build and sort out a lot of computers. The problems you describe with Me would seem to be syptomatic of a registry problem. The safest and easiest way would be to back up the data and put a fresh install in. I would emphasis MattMatic's comments about...

Photoshop *ist D Raw Support
Hi Ava, There are perhaps 2 issues here. Xp will certainly run on your machine. I am not an expert on PS so I will leave those comments to others. What it may come down to is how patient you are! I had a PIII 800 until recently and was very happy with it until I put a McAfee fierwall on it. It stil...

Photoshop *ist D Raw Support
You could double your RAM for very little money and add a second 40GB disc for around £50. I recently saw a 120GB disc for £65 but nearer £80 is probably the norm. The worst thing about your PC is ME. XP is the obvious replacement. I have nothing but praise for my 2000 - totally reliable for me but ...

Hot pixels - proper tool
Hi This software looks really cool to remove hot pixels. But sometimes it assumes a normal pixel ( having diffrent intensity than the surrounding pixels) as hot pixel. It might be just a white button in a black shirt. Does someone know, where shd we fix threshold for hot or very hot pixel to get ...

Infra red remote control
As there still appears to be no CS205 cable releases to be had for love nor money I spent twenty pounds on a Pentax infra red trigger as a play thing. It looks as though it might last two trips out before getting lost. It comes in the usual Pentax silver box with no instructions whatever. It has ...

Infra red remote control
Malcolm, The tree symbol is for the compact cameras. It changes the zoom setting from wide to mid to tele. Obviously it does nothing for the *istD. And I know what you mean about it getting lost - I've lost it in the camera bag a couple of times!! And... the IR control does not focus. You hav...

iris photography
I've just bought a pentax optio 550 hoping the super macro mode would be suitable for my purposes of taking detailed photo's of the human iris. However I can't seem to get a clear photo. Does anyone have any experience of this? What settings would be most suitable - it can't seem to focus on the iri...

Cleaning CCD in *ist D?
Here's another CCD cleaning website: http://www.bythom.com/cleaning.htm I hope I never have to do this as it sounds scary. The protective layer on the CCD is said to have a hardness of 5 on the Moh's scale. This comparitive scale is used to classify minerals (talc is 0 and diamond is 10). As a...

What is the focus limiter?
:? What is the focus limiter? How and when should it be used? Thank you.

What is the focus limiter?
With some lenses, primarily macros or long telephotos, the amount of focusing movement between infinity and the closest focus can be quite large. If a lens used all of the focusing range it could work quite hard, so a focusing limiter will confine the focusing range as indicated on a dial on the len...

Focus Speed
Am i right in thinking the AF motor for pentax kit is in the body and not the lenses?? In which case, can anyone help me out: I'm considering the istD body and some Sigma EX lenses (100-300 in particular) but am worried that the AF wont be able to keep up with the need for quick focus or track...
