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...

remote and K10D autofocus problems
Is the main problem that the remote does not cause AutoFocus? Or that the camera does not focus where you expect? There is an option to turn on/off AutoFocus on remote - [C Custom Setting] Menu. Make sure that is on. [Edit] I guess that is also what Classvino referred to, but I misread the fi...

How do you useAF-360Fgz wireless with K10D?
Just bought the AF 360FGZ for my K20D. Not certain pre-flash is working (?) LCD states P-TTL. Can the two flashes be seen? What is the time lapse between them? You can see the red eye pre flash OK as a separate flash when its set on the camera. Pictures look OK even those taken in complete dark...

No, it's not normal. Was this a new machine, or second-hand? Whichever, send it back. G

Pentax K10D
Hi, I have not been here for a while. Mainly as I had some bad luck in 2007. I had to go bankrupt and in the process had all my camera equipment and other Items taken to pay creditors. I am now slowly getting back on my feet. Just after Christmas I was offered a Canon 400D at a really good pri...

Check out http://www.srsmicrosystems.co.uk/index3.asp?id=622§ion=Pentax+K10D&set=4 for an indication of new prices with 2 year warranty. I'd say you got a reasonable deal, as long as it is as good as the sellers description. I'm glad the Sigma lens has "full auto focus". I ...

I'm glad the Sigma lens has "full auto focus". I hate those half auto focus lenses. It's the unbelievably good one, George.

Pentax K10D
It's the unbelievably good one, George. Did you mean the Sigma 28-200 I have just bought. Can you elaborate please. Sorry, it was just a reference to the eBay ad that referred to it as unbelievably good that made me giggle in the context of George's reference to full (as opposed to half) auto focus....

It's the unbelievably good one, George. Did you mean the Sigma 28-200 I have just bought. Can you elaborate please. The rather effusive Ebay description describes the Sigma as being "full auto focus", (which, of course, is meaningless gibberish), and it is also apparently "unbelievabl...

Pentax K10D
I know nothing about that particular lens, but I've had a manual focus Sigma 28-200 for many years, and it's given me excellent service. Any lack of optical qualities it may have had were more than compensated for by its convenience. I'd never sell it. Sorry I missed this. I will just have to wait a...

Pentax K10D
Just wondered if I got a bargain. Bit out of touch with prices. The extra lens looks nice, but can you tell me if it is any good. That's a good price if the camera really is in excellent condition - which I would expect. However, I would not expect the Sigma 28-200mm to be particularly good or us...

Pentax K10D
snip . . However, I would not expect the Sigma 28-200mm to be particularly good or useful, so I would sell it to get some cash back to put towards another lens. If you do sell the Sigma, and perhaps one of your kidneys, then why not get a rather than the cheap manual lens that George suggested. ...

First K20D delivered in Germany
Pass the time reading the handbook - I've posted a link to the download in another topic. I've already read it through, front to back, twice ;)

First K20D delivered in Germany
The ridiculous part of it all is that the cameras come into Rotterdam and are distributed through Europe from there. Because we have to rely on Beukelaar the cameras go first to Belgium and then back to the Netherlands. :roll: Rabbitmountain will post it to you if you are desperate enough or maybe...

Buying equipment in Nepal
Within a month I'll be travelling to Nepal, a friend of mine wants me to buy some glass or even a DSLR in Kathmandu. Is it a wise thing to do ? I know there can be problems with warranty. I've been in Nepal several times and stayed in Kathmandu, I've never seen 'reliable' stores for photographic...

K20D handbook
some neat new features there, especially like the look of the HDR setting. AF adjustment might come in handy too if you're unlucky enough to have front/back focus problems. Aperture ring coupler is still conspicuous by its absence but no great surprise there All in all, very nice looking body ...

Thanks for this info guys. This is amazing info and I thought I'd read my K10d manual cover to cover! I wish I hadn't bought that ND8 filter a couple of weeks back now!
