straining the "motor" on the k10d
I'm not sure that's right though. The K10D has an interline/interlace scan CCD and this refers to how the information is removed from the sensor a line at a time. Very very quickly of course! The exposure time is certainly via the shutter and the CCD receives its light all in one go - the informa...

With regards to the flash and 1600 ISO this was done by the camera. I simply set the ISO levels to shoot between ISO 100 and 1600 automatically and that was it. It seem seems the camera chose 1600 with the flash ???? As I mentioned on my big "Flash" thread - the camera tries hard to bala...

Pictures of Tucuman, Argentina mountains…
Gentleman and ladies, Thanks for your interest in my person. I born in Gantes, Belgium (at 1943). At 5 years old my family immigrated to Argentina. From this time to now, I never back in Belgium. I am glider pilot at 16 and aircraft pilot at 17 years old (flying for long 47 years). I am ...

Pictures of Tucuman, Argentina mountains…
Hi ChristA, Yes, my job is really fabulous. I consider myself as one of the last “romantic” professional pilot. I could be an airliner pilot, but things in life made me stand flying these kinds of birds I fly today. I fly with “stick” and “throttle” and feel the plane with my back´s and a few ...

Poppy about to burst !
The top of the bud is slightly out of focus and it would have been nice if that small bug was removed first but otherwise a very nice photo.

K10D poor AF
Hi, I could use some advice. I've had an MX and ME Super for a while, and built up a small collection of M and A primes. My DSLR has always been a Canon, with 50mm f/1.4 and 35mm f/1.4 lenses (shortly to be sold). A friend recently switched from Canon to Pentax, and I've been very impressed by...

K10D poor AF
I'd take the K10D back to the shop, along with the 43mm, and ask what is wrong. You shouldn't have AF issues with either, but it is not unknown for the body to need adjustment. Obviously, the wider the aperture you use, the worse any mis-focussing will be. G

K10D poor AF
I'd do what George recommends, take them back to be looked at.... With the 43 Ltd on a K10D there should be no problems whatsoever....

K10D poor AF
I would start by switching the AF to centre only (there's a custom menu option on the K100D) and checking whether the focus is better. Maybe the camera was taking focus on something that had higher contrast. Additionally, do not use the Red overlay indicators as a guide to accurate focus! The red...

K10D poor AF
Thanks all for your input. I'm using centre focus point only. I have focus turned off on the shutter button, and use the AF button to focus. I think perhaps I've been tripping the shutter when the red light shows up, and not waiting for the focus confirmation beep. I took a few shots tonight a...

K10D poor AF
I'm surprised... I've just had a go at using a Canon 30D with 24-70 f2.8 L series lens and it was unbelievably slow at focussing even in moderate light. I find the K10D much, much faster, and the *ist-D was perhaps slightly quicker (EDIT: slightly quicker than the 30D. The K10D is very fast indee...

K10D poor AF
I would agree with Matt that the focus on the Limiteds is slightly slow compared to some other lenses, but it's not SLOW, just not quite as quick. I think there is a problem somewhere. G

K10D poor AF
I need to be really careful about this. You know how it is... it's new gear.... you're frustrated.... you jump to the conclusion that it's not working right. I'm going to take my time and test this carefully tonight. I've been out with it in broad daylight this lunchbreak, and don't have any co...

K10D poor AF
OK so it's obvious, tripping the shutter before focus has been achieved will result in out of focus images :D So thanks for bearing with me whilst I embarrassed myself with that. It's still significantly slower and less accurate than the 20D, but I think I can live with it. The SR lets me close...

How accurate is your k10's exposure system?
Just to add to the melting pot... One thing that's often overlooked when discussing exposure errors is the white balance setting. A variation in WB can skew the histograms all over the place and affect the judgment of exposure. There is also the question in my mind as to the spectrum sensitivi...

How accurate is your k10's exposure system?
British Commandos (Marines) are very fast accurate and deadly. :P The British have to be accurate as we don't have enough ammunition to go round. Not funny, just sad and true. I have "friends" in Aldershot, and well, one of them won't be coming back :-(
