New K10D user - soft images (maybe)
My wife has just told me that she feels that isn't razor sharp as well. But given the lens it is pretty sharp and I'm sure the 35mm F2 would have been far sharper. I'd be interested to know what the OP thinks - are his images much softer than that? I did apply sharpening at RAW conversion stage ...

New K10D user - soft images (maybe)
Maybe I don't understand what is meant by 100% crop then. From camera RAW To PS Crop an small area to about 1024 x something or other Save as JPEG If I've done it wrong then apologies I can be quite dim sometimes. The main reason I get less than clear images is camera shake (too old and ...

New K10D user - soft images (maybe)
Your photos are also very sharp, is the last one really at 1:1 pixel ratio? :shock: Yes. It's a lovely lens and it isn't really the sharpness that makes it so. DarkM - Your example looks sharp enough to me although at that size it's hard to tell. Have you applied sharpening throughout its life fr...

. Advise needed. Cleaning the mirror
Hi Pete, have you got a lens fitted when looking through the view finder? If not the focus screen will look a bit fuzzy / noisy. With regard to the spot why not take it back to the shop and ask them the rectify it, presumably it was sold to you with some kind of warranty? Cheers :)

. Advise needed. Cleaning the mirror
The best advice about cleaning mirrors is - don't. The whole mechanism can be put out of alignment very easily, after which all your images will be out of focus. I would just take it back to the shop, get a refund and buy something else.

spoke to the shop, who said they had cleraned the camera , then retracted it when I told them what i had in the viewfinder. They are sending a courier round to pick the camera up and take it back. cheers gents.

hmmm i have the same problem in the viewfinder (even without a lens), it's probably my fault as by trying to clean it i seem to have added some more! it also seems to be on the rear side (where i put my eye, on the screen side) and not on the mirror (which is clean), any thought on how to clean ...

What also needs to be taken into account is the resolution and size of the PC screen. You could have a small 10" screen, or as a friend uses, a 42" widescreen. You can still get very 800x600 LCDs up to 3500(ish)x2160 ... Everyone will have a different result. We're talking about the screen ...

If you read the whole of Tel's original question --- which I'll admit wasn't very well phrased (sorry Tel) --- you can see that he wanted to know what zoom level on the camera is equivalent to looking at picture at 100% on the computer screen. Most of the rest of the thread has been discussing exac...

What we are all trying to get at --- I think! --- is the simple issue of how far to zoom into the preview image to check the focus of a picture. Best wishes, Kris. This was what I was asking:D KRIS No offence taken:wink::D --------------------------------------------------------------- The d...

Woahaa! This is getting controversial!! :P I thought of creating a JPG image with a fine 1-pixel striped image (black-white-black-white etc) and viewing on the camera LCD. Trouble was I couldn't get the K20D to playback any JPG I'd messed with. :roll: I tried Photoshop and I even tried IrfanVi...

In practice, I normally view at around 11x to check focus - and that's seemed to work well (and at least agree with the 13x suggested here). Matt If your checkin' for focus and sharpness then x16 is where its at. At x13 you could be missin' stuff and goin' home with unsharp images at 100%. The...

This is interesting as I've never used the camera screen to check focus. I use the viewfinder to see if it has snapped into focus at the correct point. I use the screen as a quick check for closed eyes on portraits and maybe to see if the composition is right. I've never found camera screens g...
