manual focus problems on k10d
It still won't lock focus correctly at infinity when set to 200mm and seems to be a bit off in other aspects of focusing.

manual focus problems on k10d
A zoom technically means focus is kept spot-on as you zoom. A varifocal has to be refocused at every focal length setting. There will be a point where a cheap badly designed "zoom" is actually more of a varifocal. To be honest, I usually refocus after zooming as a matter of habit. The Pe...

manual focus problems on k10d
It is now two months old, still in warranty. Bought it online and it is a bit late to send it back now. Can still send it to Pentax for repair or replacement, but they may not do much. Is two months too long to send something back (I think it is)? Really don't want to be without it though :( But the...

manual focus problems on k10d
I think that within 28 days you might have been entitled to a replacement, the trouble with web purchases is that you can't get a human being to stretch the rules and do the exchange anyway. But two months is not long, so I'd give it a go anyway. Write a letter putting your case, keep it polite ...

manual focus problems on k10d
But two months is not long, so I'd give it a go anyway. Write a letter putting your case, keep it polite but firm and hope for the best. It is the suppliers responsibility to sort it out in any event, at least in the UK. And I believe that if it's clear that the fault has been there since purchase...

manual focus problems on k10d
No, the Jacobs offer was what I had in mind. Pity, still, even £99.99 is pretty good. I think some of the Jessops clearance stores are or have been selling the Pentax version for around £107.00

Well, I'll email them and see what they say. If that fails then I can still have it looked at by Pentax.

Shutter and lens noise ??
Why is our beloved K10D so loud compared to other brands Everything slr, in it's class and/or it's price range is gonna be about the same. A compact or evf will be much quieter. that's why I have Both! my g5 and Pro one work quiety. Use in good light, and will focus in no light, my slrs work ...

Shutter and lens noise ??
I think you're limited to trying an underwater housing...or building a soundproof box (heard that's been done for tv/movie set photography). I know what you mean though...Gerri works fairly close to the wedding party...I try to use my g5 and pro one as i work near the video cams, and keep my vide...

Hacked off with Pentax supplies
Just to put this in perspective... I think, to correct you Pete, you are looking for Samsung or Sigma units that are compatible with Pentax. That completely changes the tone of your topic header! It's that level of mis-representation that's going to stop people from helping you in the future ;...

The LCD screen on the back and EVF on point and shoot cameras is very poor in terms of resolution. With an SLR you are actually looking at light coming in through the lens. The resolution is almost as good as your eye without anything in front. This means you can focus manually and frame the picture...

Sorry, but is this poster serious? Why as a first camera, let alone a first SLR would you choose the K10D and then expect it to behave like a P&S? Yes the K10D is a superb camera, but it is not a beginners camera. Surely if you are spending a great wodge of money on a camera you do some research...

It's a simple enough assumption to think that the screens on the back of both DSLRs and P&Ss would do the same thing. I think so too. I was surprised when I first found out that live view wasn't standard when my brother got his *ist D. I did a silly thing the other day at a party BTW. I...

For every poster intent on 'shooting you down' there are dozens more willing to offer genuine help. Remember, there are no silly questions, just inappropriate answers. The truth is the K10D can be operated more or less as a point 'n shoot camera (except you don't have live view), just set ever...

Thanks Gwyn... Above all, now we've determined you're not a troll, you're on the way to becoming friends with a couple of hundred people with the same interest as yourself.. not bad for a mornings work really. next question what's a troll? I've already gathered that its nothing to be proud of. ...

K100D exposure
Personally I would use matric metering and set the auto exposure lock to the focus point (see the custom settings). If you also use the centre focusing spot only then it's a simple matter to focus, lock with a half pressure on the shutter release and then recompose before taking the shot. I think...
