K100D poor pictures
well 'spider I don't know if two's enough, but I definately think people who only have one don't really count as parents. When something gets broken in thier house...they KNOW who did it! Where's the skill in solving that? It's like having a really expensive pet.... as for inheritance...I've sugg...

K100D poor pictures
Assuming the dioptre adjustment on the viewfinder eyepiece has been adjusted OK and that the camera has been set to centre spot focusing, there are two factors to consider. First, focus on the main subject with a half pressure on the shutter release, hold this to lock the focus point, recompose y...

Focus Problems
Hi All First of all my wedding shoot went well on Saturday. I will post some images in a few days. Yesterday I did a photo shot and noticed a focus problem on many of the pictures. I set my camera (K10D) on a tripod used the 18-55mm lens and used F5.6 at various lengths. I used the select f...

Set the focus point to centre only, focus/lock and then recompose. Much easier. On a tripod, use manual focus, much easier.

Hi Pete Good to see you're back - must be all that PS work you've been up to :lol: I've never had a lot of luck with the red dots on the K10D due to the problems you describe. I also find it quicker and easier to use MF. Did you have SR turned off?

The SR systems allows for natural shaking from the hands and is always trying to adjust for it. As there is no shake on a tripod it gets confused and can give odd effects. The manual (and a lot of stuff on this forum) says turn it off when using a tripod. I'm sure Matt will be able to give th...

I enjoy manual but dont trust my own Focusing 100% Well use the green hexagon in the viewfinder to confirm that you're focused. Then you have the best of both worlds. Trouble when you have got irritable folk wanting you to get on with things its kind of difficult while your messing about manual....

...it seems the hedge to the left or right of the face seems more sharply focused ???? Without looking at an example and knowing the shutter speed used I couldn't comment any more. Possible explanations: a) The person moved (especially forward or backward) b) It's equally in focus but the face h...

Focus Problems
Probably not a left or right focus issue but adjustment of focus point. Not sure of the exact terms, but the depth at which the focus point is located may be a bit off. My K10D seems to focus at the back end of the focus range. In other words, you know how when you focus, there is a range of acce...

Pete, promise me you'll never pull that manual out in front of a client again. memorize it, type a note or two, and tape said note to back of a grey card. Don't make a client, or anybody else watching (possible future clients) worry about whether or not you're getting the job done! focus on the e...

I think Pete meant that manual in the term manual focus instead of the book? I could be wrong but that's how i read it?
