Allow taking of out of focus pictures
if you keep the shutter button half pressed after locking focus then the shutter will still fire. at least it does on mine, if this doesn't work for you we'll have to figure out what custom setting I changed to make it happen. Alternatively if you turn off "AF on shutter button pressed ha...

Allow taking of out of focus pictures
the new digital lenses allow you to adjust focus manually after the af does it's thing( i prefer manual, but when I do use af I use afs 99% 0f the time, rarely afc). other than that, just switch to manual focus. the other option is to use your rockerswitch in conjunction with user selectable af po...

Allow taking of out of focus pictures
A mind reading camera would be useful :D but I guess they have to keep something for the next model. if you keep the shutter button half pressed after locking focus then the shutter will still fire. at least it does on mine, if this doesn't work for you we'll have to figure out what custom s...

A Pro Pentax
I am quite taken a back by many of the questions regarding the pro capacity of the K10D. There have been the doubting Thomas's that ask.."Is there a Pro Pentax?" or why doesn't Pentax make a pro camera etc etc etc. The answer is this. The K10D is the Nikon D200 of Pentax. It compares fa...

A Pro Pentax
Just got back from a walk around the nearest town of any size, whilst I was there I thought I would checkout the availability of Pentax DSLR's. Two privately owned photographic shops had the K10 with standard kits lens in stock (sadly no pentax lens), which came as a surprise as I know for a fact t...

Which is Best?
A circular polarizer will be fine for this. Linear polarizers can cause problems with auto focus cameras, I believe. Also with a circular polarizer, you can rotate the filter to get the best effect.

Tour de France in Rochester... at 3200iso? Oh b*gger!
I've PPed that to death using a trial version of Bibble and a little soft focus in Picassa (to emphasise the fact that I was actually quite nicely focused on the yellow jersey). If only I'd checked my ISO settings during the hour or more I had to wait for my 20 seconds of action! <sigh!> ...

Tour de France in Rochester... at 3200iso? Oh b*gger!
Had a BBQ at a friend's house as it was right on the route. Ah, I think that's what they call a tactical error! Good luck purging your system of assorted unwelcome guests. A decent bout of food poisoning can be a real b*gger to get rid of. Andrew McP No, I was ill before then, but more flu-like: ...

Flowers in the garden (yes i no Boring)
I think the focus on pic 1 is a bit soft and the colour rather over saturated for my taste. 2 & 3 I'd have cropped tighter on the flowers, and 3 I'd have brightened up half a stop. The geraniums in 3 are my fave. :-)

1 is either rather out of focus or there is a fair bit of movement. :?

Girl in a Black Dress / Critiques Please
to quote Mr. Potato Head: "I'm a married spud, I'm a married spud, I'M A MARRIED SPUD".... heehehe seriously...nice shots. I'm more partial to using a much shallower dof.... but that's a personal preference..... Like the first the best. Second one is a bit out of focus round the face ...

I am now part of the Pentax family
Hello colleagues and friends, I registered a couple of weeks ago just as I decided I want to put my hands on a Pentax. In the past I owned two Nikons, a Minolta and an EOS 5. They were all outstanding cameras, especially the EOS 5, but I think it would be daft for me not to go for the K10D! I ...

I am now part of the Pentax family
Thanks for your input. I am pleased to be here, and you surely want me to take good pictures. I will indeed experiment with the lenses, and take note of your valuable information George. The K10D is my first digital SLR, the EOS 5 was the old 35mm one. I choose my camera on my needs, budget and...

K10D and older K and M series lenses
You meter in manual mode the same as with the other Pentax digitals. You select the aperture you want, then press the "green" button. The camera then stops down the lens for an instant and takes a meter reading. You then can focus and take the shot. This way you are always composing and fo...
