RAW+JPEG WHERE??? HOW???
Yeah, I heard this wonderful analogy for Raw files a while back. Imagine a kitchen. The data in a Raw file is the ingredients(flour, milk, etc), the recipe book is the code within the camera, and the final image is the scrumptious cake we're making. Many people are fine letting their camera bak...

RAW+JPEG WHERE??? HOW???
Even as a hobbyist, half-assed programmer I can tell you: that would be a ton of work even for a team of super-geniuses! Man, what a hassle that would be! Actually, not THAT difficult ;) All the code is contained in Dave Coffin's dcraw package. It's a single C file that is easily understood and ...

RAW+JPEG WHERE??? HOW???
A RAW file is not an uncompressed JPEG. Pentax RAW's are 12 bit, and JPEGs are 8. Technically that's not quite correct, JPEG files are 24 bit, 8 bits of red, green and blue per pixel whereas a RAW file is 12 bits per pixel and a pixel corresponds to only one colour. Getting back to the question...

RAW+JPEG WHERE??? HOW???
All the answers were good up to Drewski then it got complicated. TIME? SPACE? E=MC2 or something like that I'm glad I could help? :( I didn't see the OP anywhere, so I thought I was all clear to go on about any old topic. Heh. Whoops. Hi OP, Welcome back!

Any tips (settings) for taking photos of Runners
Thanks, I am thinking of using the TAv setting and manual focus as you suggest. Then I can preset the depth of field and let the camera adjust the sensitivity......I knew there was a reason why I purchased the K10D!!

Any tips (settings) for taking photos of Runners
You might consider using MF and pre-focusing on a spot and firing as the runners reach it Actually, thats the perfect set up for a "focus trap" if you have a manual lens. once you prefocus, you just hold the shutter button down, and when the runners snap into focus, the camera will take ...

Any tips (settings) for taking photos of Runners
So, I tried to switch to Manual Focus on the Body and use the Autofocus Zoom in this 'Manual' mode but doesn't seem to work this way. Will this only work with a Manual Focus lens. (No Manual setting on the Autofocus lens) :(

Any tips (settings) for taking photos of Runners
A further explaination please from Pentaxian450 on this method. I aways shoot with manual lenses, I prefocused on a spot, TAv mode set, but my K10D is happy to take pictures out of focus, it won't wait for things to snap into focus and then do its thing automatically. I guess it's me doing someth...

For this technique to work you need to use a manual focus lens but set the camera on autofocus.

Any tips (settings) for taking photos of Runners
re: trap focus... my experience is this: the camera uses it's af confirmantion (with mf lens) to fire the shutter. any shots where contrast or light levels would cause an af lens to hunt, will miss the shot, in trap focus mode. get as close to the action as your "oficial status" will a...

For this technique to work you need to use a manual focus lens but set the camera on autofocus. And specifically AF-S.

Any tips (settings) for taking photos of Runners
I took some pictures at my young daughter's school sports day using my K10D on continuous auto focus. I stood looking down the track from the finishing line and, using multiple exposure, just held my finger on the shutter release for the duration of the flat race. Used the tighter end of a Tamron 18...

Setting AM or PM in K10D?
I have the proper city selected, and the date and time filled in correctly, but it tells me it is PM when it is AM, and AM when it is PM. The cursor will not move to the AM/PM to select and change it. Does anyone know how to make this change? Are you sure you haven't just set the time 12 hours wro...

Anyone having trouble with the raw button K10D?
I set the custom settings so that the raw button should stay active until you press it again. In spit of that, it turns off after one or two shots. If I set the custom settings like that, I can take several shots in RAW+ with no problems. However, if I leave it between shots long enough for the ...

Pet Portrait Critique
Hi Gywn Firstly Merlin passed away a few months back and it has really broken my heart I had him 12 wonderful years. Having no children he has been a huge huge loss but I have some wonderful images and memories. Yes I agree the background is a bit distracting. I might use blur methods in PS ...

Using CR-V3 and RCR-V3 batteries in Pentax DSLRs
The main problem with the Pentax DSLRs that used AA is they try to guess what type of battery you have :roll: So, you put in very well charged NiMH and it thinks you've got dying alkaline batteries in there... and the charge appears to disappear until you power off and back on again (and it goes ...

Using CR-V3 and RCR-V3 batteries in Pentax DSLRs
Hi, DB. Small world. Here are 3 shots of a Li-ion RCR-V3 battery pack: Use end, from the back. Note depression and flat key stop. The use end goes downwards in the battery hatch and contacts the camera electronics. Voltage here is 3.3V - at least on this Moby Power-brand version. Some other br...

remote and K10D autofocus problems
My remote seems to work pretty well with my K100D. The lens usually focuses pretty well before the shutter is released. I am finding that even though I set in the custom settings to autofocus before the shutter is released, the K10D is not doing a very good job of that. I have been doing some s...

remote and K10D autofocus problems
If your camera happens to lock onto anything else to focus on, you're pretty much out of luck - I always either set mine to spot (if the subject is central) or pre-focus and turn the AF on remote off... (there may be better methods...) When you're not looking in the viewfinder, if you're on a mo...
