Split screen
Eurgh! I had planned a 2-prong approach to dealing with my focus issues. One was to get the split screen. The other was to get a flashgun and use wider apertures. Now it seems a split screen affects flash metering? Oh dear :( I'm also talking to SRS and Pentax about the problems I'm having. ...

Split screen
Here's my progress report... Flashgun - arrived, very nice, works well, underexposes presumably to save highlights, but I can work with that Chinese focus screen - arrived, not top quality, easy to fit, not 100% perfectly lined up, works well nevertheless AF problems - decided to try another AF...

Iris closes even when aperture is set fully open, why?
I love my 50mm 1.4, with that large glass opening you can see clearly all the way to the sensor as you take a photo (of your face :) ). Generally, the iris is fully open to allow for metering and focus. When the picture is being taken the iris closes. Of course at f/1.4 the iris really doesn't mo...

What I would Like
Two slots good for cards, like in the Canon 1D, where we can save RAW on one card and Jpegs on the other.... X-flash adaptor would also be good Larger buffer for RAW... Maybe rather than rack up the pixel count too high, focus on getting IQ right from the number of pixels....Discussions on ...

What I would Like
'm currently holding off buying and would dearly like to know if my reasoning for doing so is baseless (my EOS 300D is woefully long in the tooth, a pain to use and wants replacing every time I pick it up) and what's discouraging me from making the plunge? T Same with any computer product... buy ...

What I would Like
The JPEG files are not soft, just relatively unsharpened. At risk of asking a dumb question, what precisely does "soft" mean? The reason I ask is that the terms "soft" and "sharp" seem to be used by different people in different ways. For instance, Pete's notorio...

What I would Like
I suppose my question is whether anyone here has can put dirt to the speculation that there really is a K10Ds in the works and is it's release date going to be anytime soon? If so then it makes sense to hold off a couple of months, no? It may make sense. And emotionally it makes a lot of sense. Logi...

Tips for built-in flash
With regard to the built in flash you can make a diffusor for it from an old film canister if you have one. A white one of course. Cut a channel in the side of it just big enough to slide onto the flash and stick the lid back on. Hey presto free flash diffuser. Edit: just did a quick search on li...

K100D poor pictures
Howdy all I have a K100d and having a bit of trouble with the auto focus and poor colours in low light outside, is there any software upgrade that can help? Regards

K100D poor pictures
How low of light? Auto focus works on contrasting lines. So if it is too dark for the camera to determine an area with high contrast, the auto focus may have trouble. You may need to put up the flash to get some flash-assist to help with focusing. You can try manual focus to get close, then swi...

I am amazed that Zeta has even come back after some of the replies. I was once told, on this forum even, that there is no such thing as a stupid question, only a stupid answer. Well I think (s)he has recieved a few of those here. Give him/her a break guys! S/He is new to it all. AS Wintoid says S/he...

K100D poor pictures
I have to confess that when people blame Pentax (or whoever the manufacturer might be) for their problems, I tend to see red. Occasionally, the manufacturer is indeed to blame, but generally it is a matter of poor technique or lack of understanding on the part of the user. The most egregious exa...
