I've broken my K10d
What a shame it isn't back for Christmas. I hope you have a reserve camera to capture your daughters first Chritmas. Pentax still seem faster than Canon, and they communicated with you. When my OH sent his Canon back for repair he was without it for nearly 5 months. It took them a month just to ...

I've broken my K10d
To some degree it's a matter of expectations as well. A professional user might expect per return service, loan cameras, whatever, and an amateur may be in a long line of others waiting. Not all parts may be in stock, postal delays may occur and all sorts of things can and do happen. Some repairs...

I've broken my K10d
Well I finally got my camera back 18 January! Only slightly after Christmas that. I didn't get chance to use it for a couple of days so it was Monday before I got too set it up. It was then I found that they have butchered it. Just above the SD card slot someone has used a screwdriver to prise...

I've broken my K10d
Well I've finally got the camera back. Well actually it has been replaced since the damage they have done to it is not repairable. I'm still not happy as I have not had use of the camera for 8 weeks and I have had nothing in the way of an apology, except a message left on my answer machine. I was...

a button for continuous drive mode on k10d
Does anyone know if there is a trick to get the continuous drive activated by one of the buttons on the back of the k10d? I think this should definitely be accessible by pushing a button rather than having to navigate through some menu options. Surely, if you need to switch to continuous drive m...

Sandisc SD
As risk of incurring much derision from those here that do do all this, I don't. I am not surprised that you haven't had any problems. The whole point about 'eject the hardware' is to take into account disk caching. I once turned off a 300Gb USB hard disk without ejecting and when I switched it back...

grip shutter release unreliable
Just as a thought, have you tried cleaning the contacts between the body and grip. One of these must be the one to activate the focus, so it might be that there's a bit of dirt fouling the connection. Worth a try. :roll: Dan

grip shutter release unreliable
problem solved! :D I bought the Camera locally in Plymouth at the London Camera Exchange, so I went back and asked them what they thought the problem was and after trying a new grip to make sure it wasn't my camera, they just replaced the grip on the spot. They are a 'Pro' dealership so they cou...

K10D dynamic range (DR) in JPEG's
Have you tried using RAW? This sometimes allows you to pull back some detail in shadows and highlights.

K10D dynamic range (DR) in JPEG's
I have tried using RAW but I am afraid I am a novice. I don't even use the MANUAL mode on the k10d yet! When people talk about RAW conversion and getting the sharpest pictures if goes right over my head. How does one judge sharpness?? I have the 50m 1.4 and people keep saying it is not sharp below 2...

Help K10D Needs Repairing (Fixed)
My K10D suffers from AF misalignment and will not focus correctly with any lens. I thought it was my 50-200 which was at fault originally. Then I got the Tamron 90mm macro and it was even worse. Finally with the 16-50 it was the last straw. I couldn't possibly have all defective lenses. Placed them ...

It's not just a matter of reverting to earlier firmware. You then have to use a hidden menu in version 1.1 to recalibrate the focus. G
