LCD Screen Zoom.
Ok... I'm going to throw a REAL spanner in the works here :P :D First of all, I found out how to get an edited JPG back onto the camera so it will display it! Woohooo! 1. Go here: http://www.panasonic.com/business/projectors/ss_software.asp 2. Download "JPEG Converter [exe]" and install 3. Thi...

The black blob goes silver...
Because the CCD is what, 5mm thick (especially with SR), then there's the LCD panel which is probably another 4 or 5mm thick that has to sit on top of that - and that's without the electronics :roll: And for film you have maybe 3mm for the film and transport back. Yes, the K10D/K20D are huge i...

K10 PEF's or DNG's
Hi Stefan, PEF also holds the metadata even JPG does that. So I'm sorry but I don't see your point, LeBleu. Yes it does! But in a separate file, commonly called a sidecar. The name of the file is the same as the PEF file, but has an xmp extension. I use Idimager to create metadata in my i...

K20D AF questions
Rbubbly, Have a look in the manual on autofocus. The red square indicates which of the eleven focus points the camera is using to determine the distance. In the menu you can choose between automatic selection of focus point, manual selection or centre point. Personally, I prefer to use the cen...

K20D AF questions
It is a dial rather than a menu setting for the K20D. Rbubbly already has it set to SEL. Sounds like the point is being changed by pressing the 4-way conroller by accident. Be more careful with your fingers or use the centre point mode [.] instead. By the way, the red square does effectively c...

A few simple K10D questions
I'm using Hama (I believe) and they work great so far. Never really used auto since I focus manually mostly or I use selective autofocus. Screen protection... I've never used it and I don't have a scratch on it. The sceen protector gets far more easly scratch then the screen itself so you keep...

A few simple K10D questions
Sorry if these have been asked before, couldn't find the answers on here, so please bear with me. Batteries - any issues with "compatible" batteries? Recommended suppliers? (Have used non OEM batteries in other devices without problems, so presume OK with Pentax?) Auto select AF point - is thi...

A few simple K10D questions
AFAIK, the dSLR will pick the point with the greatest contrast for auto AF selection. My wife uses her *ist-Ds on auto and has very few issues. Personally, I opt for either Centre only or SEL because I like to know exactly where the focus point is going to be ;) Matt

A few simple K10D questions
1. I use third-party batteries, from B&H, and have not had a problem or noticed inferior performance. 2. I use center-point or manual focus. To be honest, my eyes aren't good enough to manually focus well with digital viewfinders. 3. If I carried my camera in a camera bag I might not worry abo...

Right angle finder for K20d
I have a generic eBay purchased version that has adapters in to fit most DSLR's by a slide in plastic reducer. Pros - Easier to compose shots Can have 1.12 or 2.5 magnification to assist in manual focus Adjustable eye piece Cons - Loose fitting so can wobble around a bit Have to change f...

Right angle finder for K20d
when using the angle viewfinder I am looking for the yellow confirmation signal that I am in focus. I cannot see this in either magnification. Should I be able to see this?

Right angle finder for K20d
when using the angle viewfinder I am looking for the yellow confirmation signal that I am in focus. I cannot see this in either magnification. Should I be able to see this? Just checked on mine and I can see it at 1x and 2x. Just the corners and a bit left and right get cut off at 2x. shim

Firmware
I have an eight gig card and (a) it has not failed yet (b) I have only filled it once and (c) it has made me terribly lazy about remembering to delete files off the card when I have downloaded them. When I am travelling and cannot easily back up the files on my laptop I like to leave them on the ...

Auto Focus and Remote Control
I have been trying to use a Pentax remote control with a K20D and various lenses, but it does not focus before the picture is taken. I presume this is correct, but is there any way around it?

Auto Focus and Remote Control
You can set in the menus for it to AF with the remote control. Can't remember off hand where exactly - somewhere in the User list I think.

Auto Focus and Remote Control
I presume this is correct, but is there any way around it? Not unless you read the manual :P :lol: :D It's a custom function - see page 126 the note and page 74: Set "[AF in remote control]" to "[On]" (point 16 on page 74) Matt
