"catch in focus"
also it is not as clear as on my computer as flickr will let me only upload to 1/4th of the original size for whatever reason. Because you don't have a pro (paid for) account. Once you start paying you get all the display options.

"catch in focus"
Ah ha! I figured out why my catch-in wasn't working. I like to use only my thumb AF button for focus, and so I normally disable the regular shutter from activating focus. And apparently for catch-in to work, I must be using the shutter button for focus. Well I wish it weren't that way, but ok....

"catch in focus"
EDIT: Do Pentax cameras have a toggle for Frames-per-second-priority versus focus-priority? I know some cameras do, but I can't find that in the options here. K-5 does but no previous Pentax DSLR has (afaik) Anyway, anyone know if the "catch in focus" will work with Pentax M lenses (or M42 lens...

AF.C reliability on K10D
In my (limited) expirience you would be better of using the Canon. Whenever I try to take a photo of anything moving - even slowly - with my K100D or a friends K10D all that happens is that you hear veeet,veeet,veeet as the lens tries to focus followed by cursing as you have missed the shot, agai...

AF.C reliability on K10D
i have taken pictures of moving rally cars before but that was before Auto Focus. Then i would pre focus on a point on the road and pan with the car in shot until it arrived at the focus spot. Maybe worth trying with the K100 set to Manual Focus

AF.C reliability on K10D
Has anyone had good results with the lever set in AF.C position? Not me. It's not one of the camera's best features. The lens will track from time to time as the subject moves out of focus, but not truly constantly. Hope it doesn't put you off the camera that is otherwise very good.

AF.C reliability on K10D
It's not one of the camera's best features. The lens will track from time to time as the subject moves out of focus, but not truly constantly... I couldnt have put it any better myself. Its coming to a point where the ability (or lack of) of the AF module to track things is peeing me off. I wa...

AF.C reliability on K10D
AFC is OK once the focus has locked and the subject does'nt stray too far, otherwise the AF will tend to hunt again. As Peter said, start saving your pennies for SDM lenses, there quicker and extremely quiet.

AF.C reliability on K10D
I agree it can be frustrating when the camera does an end to end focus lock when trying to capture a moving target. Taking pictures of aircraft in flight this summer I found that it was an advantage to have a lens with quick-shift focus, in my case the 55-300. I could manually shift it near enou...

Not enjoying this K100D
When using auto lenses the left hand is redundant apart from holding and there NOTHING for it to grip! Everyone's hands are different I suppose. My left hand finds a nice purchase around the lens as though I was going to adjust the ring or manually focus (which I often do anyway). This provides a ni...

Not enjoying this K100D
...perhaps you can throw some light on what makes this particular black plastic blob so different to you...(??) Well, the one I saw at Cameraworld was white. ;-) I tried one in there the other week, just to see what it felt like. Compared to my K10D, it did feel small, but it obviously is compar...

Not enjoying this K100D
My nearest pentax dealer is currently trying to get the SAME over the top price for BOTH km AND k200...!!?! a Staggering £350 when Jessops down the road can offer Sony a200 for effectively £230....and km is suposed to attract beginners to DSLR's...?????? Just had a look at the Cameraworld website (...

Not enjoying this K100D
Dan, thank you for your thoughtful message. My local pentax 'pro' dealers are in Waltham Cross shopping precinct,...I can't remember their name as they turned out to be much more 'am' than 'pro' and I won't be going back. I was there last weekend and km was sat there beside k200 with exactly t...

Not enjoying this K100D
The irritating thing about pentax is that they seem to offer promise and have had put their head above the parapet with k10, but their lens choices have been poorly conceived (still no decent moderate wide in f2)and their marketing is flaky. Pentax chooses not to throw away millions on ad campaigns....

Disable Flash
Just push the flash back down - the button on the side just releases a catch to let it spring up. When it's up the camera selects when to use it; when it's down it's off. :wink:

K20D batteries
Anyone else aware that the battery for the K20D is shared with several Minolta cameras? I took a look at the NP-400 battery (the Minolta name for it) and found this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Online-MINOLTA-NP-400-BATTERY/dp/B000V7HBT0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1230849859&sr=8-1 I...

will SDM lenses work on k200d.
Quote from FAQ for that camera on Can the SDM autofocus system be used? Yes. When mounted on an SDM lens to K200D, the focus mode is automatically switched to SDM autofocus system.
