No, but Face Detection could tell which one was Stan...:) Not necessarily, his twin brother Colin worked there too. :twisted: Sorry, couldn't resist it. This thread was irretrievably off topic anyway :roll: :roll:As always drifts off topic then back again, like a ping pong ball.:lol::lol::lol:

should pentax dslrs have face detection added
I don't have live view, but I assume it's the same as the view on the LCD at the back of a P&S? If so, then as an added feature, how about an histogram (I don't like the use of "AN" before a word starting with "H" either.. :) ) included with live view. Dial in exposure compensation before you cli...

should pentax dslrs have face detection added
I have never bothered my head with the question: What the face detection is ? :oops: Or why is it needed at all ? :oops: Does it somehow help to get the face in a better focus choosing suitable DOF ??? Somewhere I heard "smile detection" - what a hell this is ? :oops::oops: Or does it exis...

Pentax Infared Remote Controls
I was wondering, do these remotes focus the camera too? Or do they litterally just release the shutter?

Pentax Infared Remote Controls
I was wondering, do these remotes focus the camera too? Or do they litterally just release the shutter? It does if the camera is set to AF. If you are focussing just on a small bird table, however, and have enough light for reasonable DOF, I would be inclined to use manual focussing. G

Pentax Infared Remote Controls
I was just asking because oftentimes I am the subject of my photo and it'd be useful to focus. I might have a look into these then.

Pentax Infared Remote Controls
I was wondering, do these remotes focus the camera too? Or do they litterally just release the shutter? The wireless remotes just trigger the shutter, but you can set your camera (most models) to focus first. I prefer to get focus and then just use the remote to trigger. The wired remotes operate...

Pentax Infared Remote Controls
If you press and hold the button down on bulb the shutter will stay open until you release it, it works well up to about 3/4 meters, I bought a cheap one on eBay that works to 15 meters. :mrgreen: Edit: the camera will auto focus when you press the button.

Sigma 50-500mm /150-500mm /120-400mm
I've had both the 170-500mm and the 50-500mm. As a recommendation, I wouldn't go with the former and get the Bigma if you can afford it. They're both heavy lenses and the relative difference between the two in weight isn't worth the consideration in choosing one over the other. With the examples I t...

Can't believe how good the GX20 is at low light
I have only had this lens a month a so & already want to replace my Tamron 17-50 with the DA* I love the way the focus locks straight on, it very rarely hunts.

Can't believe how good the GX20 is at low light
Just found out that the Kenko convertors (or any others for that matter) won't allow AF with this lens. Seems to eb the penalty we have to pay for the super smooth/fast focus mechanism. You can't win them all!

Can't believe how good the GX20 is at low light
A friend of mine has a GX-20 and bought it based on reviews which, as you say, tend to favour it over the K20D. Samsung use slightly different processing algorithms for JPEG output which seem to be preferred by reviewers, however, if you're shooting RAW then this will have no effect regardless of w...

Can't believe how good the GX20 is at low light
I purchased my GX20 when Great Universal had the misprice on, I think it was £639 less the 10% commission, then the £100 cash back. I don't think you can go wrong with either Pentax or the Samsung. I do love the strange looks I get from the otehr photographers in the press pits at gigs with their ex...

It is so difficult to break into, I am still doing my day job:( You need to get a portfolio of band shots, these can be anyone signed or unsigned. This gets you experience of shooting in dingy clubs & theatres, this is also an excellent learning curve. Once you have a portfolio of live shots y...

how does pixel mapping work
The lower models of camera have to be sent back to Pentax or a Pentax specialist to be remapped. You might want to find solutions with software instead. Silkypix, for example, automatically virtually fixes the problem with RAW images.
