K20D Is it easy to remove the focus screen?
...Sounds like a good idea. If Katzeye aren't willing then I expect readers of this forum will come up with suggestions of how to black-out the screen yourself.

Second Body Advice
Hello everybody! I've had the K10 since december 2006 and my photography seems to increase in volume, so I am seriously thinking of buying a second body. My first K10 lasted about 10 months, and then it broke, and was immediately replaced by pentax (With a new K10) . Now I shoot a bit more th...

Second Body Advice
If a camera packs up while you are in the middle of a shoot, it's nice to have an identical back-up camera. So get another K10D, and the money saved can go towards the 31mm Ltd. Or the 77mm if you like to shoot portraits. You have enough zooms. G

K100D Super focus screen
I was told it was possible to change the focus screen on the K100D Super so I bought one on eBay and followed the instructions to remove the default one and can't get the spring clip to move. Have I been misled or alternatively is there a special method of doing it (different from doing it on the...

There's the effect of a small sensor to consider too; the sensor in the Panasonic is much smaller than that in the K20D meaning that the depth of field (area in focus) is much greater at any given aperture. If your focus is off by a small amount then it'll be quite obvious on a DSLR whereas compa...

I am using my k20 in auto mode so perhaps I should try some custom settings as you have suggested. I will have to sit down with the manual and camera and try some settings. It's a long time since I have used a SLR, back in the 35mm days, so it may take me some time to get used to it. Many thanks ...

Auto mode. Sorry, what I ment was that I was using the K20 with the exsosure in GREEN MODE (Auto) and the focus set to AFC (Auto). I assume that when using these settings the camera would make basic adjustments taking into account the conditions but I realise that with more exsperence, I will mo...

AF-C focus mode is really meant for moving subjects, as the camera will continually adjust focus, and fire the shutter if it's got good focus or not. AF-S will lock the focus, and only allow the shutter to fire when it considers focus is good. So if you're taking a pic of a flower or whatever, ...

Thank you George!.....I know it is a sophisticated bit of kit,I have it set up the same as my Previous camera but it is still short of the mark.Nothing the matter with the Tamron ,it is a superb lens and still produces the goods on the ds!....I still believe that the K20 on bog standard settings sho...

Okay Ken, here are your pics! :wink: K20D, 90mm, f/8, ISO200 (according to partial EXIF data, no shutter speed) Above pic resized to possibly be about the same amount of resizing applied to the sharp shot below. *istDS, 90mm (EXIF not present - Ken?) My first impressions are th...

Actually 4 pics from capabilities. Strangely, no shutter speeds showing (under file info in P.S. Elements) with these either. :? Back in a minute or two. Dan

Not a problem at all, they're fine. Just doing an email back, and then will post something here. Dan EDIT: Shutter speeds do show in the full EXIF data (advanced), but not on the summary (Camera Data 1) window. :?:

I really think issues with the focus should be separated from issues with the lens and issues with noise. As always, 'real-life' pictures are hopeless for finding out exactly where the camera is focusing. Download the , set it up properly, with the camera on a tripod, eliminate shake by usin...
