Dropped K10D?
Yup, I vote insurance too. Your camera may be fixable but it doesn't sound as if the lens & grip are. You'll be less out of pocket paying your excess & increased premium than replacing all that kit. As the others say, you may be lucky & get a K20d instead. If they insist you relinquish the dam...

K100d not sharp!
My experience was exactly the same when I started to use the K100D. I think what is required is practice, practice, practice. - Obviously, I believe you have the Shake Reduction switched on. - Autofocus needs a contrasty area to focus, especially in low light. - Have you tried manual focus? - ...

K100d not sharp!
- Obviously, I believe you have the Shake Reduction switched on. Yeah it was switched on from new - Have you tried manual focus? I have but AF should focus sharply surely. - Do you see the green hexagon confirming in-focus before pressing the shutter? Yeah it always says it is... - Do you wait...

K100d not sharp!
The SR symbol is the green hand to the right in the viewfinder. Sometimes it may take a little moment before appearing. BTW, when the camera is on the tripod, SR should be switched off, according to some experts on this forum. Also, when using a tripod, you should use a remote release, or use the...

K100d not sharp!
Have the Focusing Area (AF Point) set to Centre or Sel rather than Auto, so that you focus on what YOU want rather than what the camera thinks you want. Keep an eye on the shutter speed and make sure it doesn't get too low when hand-holding. The old rule of thumb, though conservative now, is stil...

Impressed with K20D
Storage is getting cheaper per gigabyte all the time, but file sizes and the variety of stuff to store is increasing all the time too. Space efficiency has always been an important part of computing, and I think it always will be. A 1 TB drive may be only £73, but you need another one to back ...

C G & H N Y toU all
Geeezzzeee, Nathan! My head hurts when I try to read my lowly K110D manual! What are you trying to do - kill me!?! :P Ow! I've printed it off to hand out to some 10 year olds - I'll get back to you........ :lol:

3 new K's next year
Reverse engineering is taking something apart to see how it works and then making your product to interface with it. That doesn't sound like the way two commonly-owned companies would operate. The collaboration between Tokina and Pentax and indeed Tamron and Pentax probably works in many ways on ...

Pentax announcement
GPS in cameras has been a bit controversial because in some cases the police have been using it to track where pictures were taken, which makes some photo-journalists a bit wary for their sources etc. There was an article about it in one of the camera magazines a while back. Best wishes, Kris.

Pentax announcement
GPS is not so accurate as to pinpoint a house anyway. I use a GPS logger when I'm out with my camera, and add the GPS info to the jpegs. I like it, and found in invaluable for my holiday photos in the US, and will doubtless find it so again when (if) we go back to Tanzania. All very well knowing yo...

Pentax announcement
Back home I have a sales brochure for the Pentax 110 system which shows a lady at various stages of the day with the thing attached to her wrist. It is quite a hoot. I'll scan it when I get home in January and post it for the amusement value. BTW, the white camera is almost as ugly as the gold L...

Infra red filter?
I've learned a bit more about IR conversion since my last post here. The cameras filter can be replaced by an R72 (IR) filter so that you can use the viewfinder/metering normally, but only IR light reaches the sensor. It is also necessary to move the sensor rearwards during this conversion to cater ...

Infra red filter?
A few months back I had the idea to take some shots with my K10D and a IR filter from my P-system. As you probably guessed - it never worked out very well ;) The K10D sure seems to block all IR light.

my first k200 had a mind of it own and i was always slightly out of focus to.

dust
Nope. Funnily enough, my dust alert entry in the menu is grayed out. Haven't got round to look in the manual why that could be. I had once used it, though, and it just came up with some specs that I had previously identified in some small aperture shots. The Arctic Butterfly now get's rid of dust ...
