k10d sudden overexposure problem
Take the lens off and check that the aperture is moving freely and not stuck wide open :?: Just move the little acuator on the rear of the lens back and forward and see if the aperture is opening and closing freely.

k10d sudden overexposure problem
You might have accidentally dialled in +2ev compensation. Press the +/- button on the back of the camera and check that the top plate LCD shows 0.

K200D how good is the battery life in reality?
I am looking at the K200D for my fist DSLR mainly because from my youth and O level photography, I still have a few K mounts in storage. With my way of thinking this will initially save me from spending silly money on a range of new lenses. I currently have an Optio which is ok but shutter lag is a...

K200D how good is the battery life in reality?
Well bought the K200D and waiting for the battiers to finish charging. I'm saving the Lithium batteries that came with the camera for emergencies when I am on holiday. I'll report back as to the operating life when I know more.

Well bought the K200D and waiting for the battiers to finish charging. I'm saving the Lithium batteries that came with the camera for emergencies when I am on holiday. I'll report back as to the operating life when I know more. It's unlikely that you will achieve maximum battery life after only on...

K200D how good is the battery life in reality?
Why not alkaline batteries? I have used them numerous times in my K100D with good results. I think the main reason is that standard AA batteries can give a varied usable working life. This is mainly due to the voltage drop off curve, but this also applies to any battery as such, but with rechargeabl...

Remote shutter release Cable / IR remote
I have both a Pentax cable and also a so called compatible IR remote for my K10D. Neither suits my needs.. The Pentax cable is only about 2ft long so although good for slow shutter speeds and steadying my larger lense it is no good for setting up the camera for wildlife shots as I still have to b...

Remote shutter release Cable / IR remote
You can auto focus with an IR remote. There is an option somewhere in the custom menus that you can toggle on and off. You don't have the half press to focus option though, just hit - focus - takes shot. There are also wireless remotes available on eBay that act like a 100 foot cabled remote,...

Remote shutter release Cable / IR remote
Ok without sounding ungrateful :D I rushed out this morning and bought the 2.5 jacks M & F.. Guys these are too big for the K10D socket. I also tried the IR Remote again and turned the setting in custom settings to 2(on) and that didnt get the camera to focus so I shall no doubt stick with the sh...

Remote shutter release Cable / IR remote
Er, I think you can't? When the camera auto powers off it cannot be brought back from 'sleep' mode with the IR remote, but can with a cabled one (which should include the radio one, as the camera detects is as cabled).

Remote shutter release Cable / IR remote
:lol: I extended mine to about 82 feet in total, in 3 seperate lengths (2 foot, 20 foot and 60 foot). Not as convenient as a wireless, but each device has it's own benefits. I'll go back and read the rest of the thread now. ;-) Dan

Remote shutter release Cable / IR remote
Really unfriendly portrait sitters! :lol: Yes, I use it for wildlife, mainly for birds in the garden to be honest, but also some mammals, the first was this Yellow Necked Mouse, that used to come out to the peanut feeder in my garden. He'd always pause in the same spot, so I prefocused, set up t...

viewfinder question
Hello, wonder if anybody can help. Own a DL2 that I have been using for a couple of years. I recently decided to run a film through my old Contax 137 whilst out and about @ the Goodwood festival of speed and this reminded me how much I dislike the viewfinder experience of my Pentax. With the cont...

viewfinder question
Well, I'm not sure about the difference in size... I've only had a quick go at using my brother-in-law's *ist-DL and it was horrible in comparison to the *ist-D/DS pentaprism. The Pentax viewfinders (pentaprism) are among the clearest out there. As far as I know there is no way of making it large...

viewfinder question
Just been Googling about it... The Pentax one is the O-ME53. There is also a Nikon one that fits - DK-21M which gives 1.17x magnification. However, I have read that some have probs when wearing specs - ie not being able to see the whole frame and LED info :( Clarky, I presume you don't wear ...

Autobracketing + self-timer in K200D ?
The pentax K10 did use to Auto Bracket using the 2 or 10 second timer but after one of the firmware upgrades it didnt - i guess they forgot to put it back in. The K20 does auto bracket using the timer or you can do what i do with my K10 buy a wired shutter release works fine.
