Have tried setting it to ON - the custom list indicates this with a "2". But it still does not work!

...haven't got my Pentax CS105 with me at the moment to check... Are you using a genuine Pentax cable remote CS105, or some other remote? Does custom option 14 (AF on halfpress) have any bearing? Matt

Using the wireless remote. It seems as though it works on AF.S but not AF.C I'll try some more later. Thanks for the pointers from you all.

Using the wireless remote. It seems as though it works on AF.S but not AF.C That is correct. If you choose AF.C then it will trigger straightaway as you press the remote button. If you want it to focus first then you must select AF.S. Amin

Remember to use the viewfinder blind to prevent stray light entering and affecting the exposure.

Remember to use the viewfinder blind to prevent stray light entering and affecting the exposure. Would you mind explaining how stray light can reach the sensor in this manner?...sorry, this might be a stupid question.:oops: Presumably, there would be a reduced risk when looking thru the viewfinder? ...

It does not hit the sensor, but the light meter and will result in under exposure. Your eye/face is normally adequate to stop stray light entering. Try it out - take two successive pictures, one with the viewfinder open and another with it closed. It will be worse when you have bright sunlight...

I just shade the viewfinder with my hand. I find sliding that little thingy on and off too much of a pain. Never a problem with the LX of course... :D

Robin, It is because of the light path in an SLR - happens with all brands and models and has always been the case.

When snapping with my newly discovered Centon 500mm mirror lens yesterday, I observed camera shake,:evil: when carefully looking thru the viewfinder, camera on tripod...using self timer, 12 secs. This is a function of mirror vibration. For those of you who are not aware, the solution to this ...

Error Message PC01
Sounds like a bad USB connection to the PC. Was everything working perfectly? Did it only let you take a few shots and then lock up? and the be OK when you switched back on. RA doesn't get on with all USB chips. My laptop works perfectly, but my desktop doesn't, so I bought a Belkin Hub and the d...

New SLR rumours?
I've heard that the part of the M62 Motorway, that used to be the runway for the American USAF airbase at Burtonwood is being turned back into a runway, because that was the agreement, they could re-open it for flights to America whenever they needed to. The American carrier Fly-Low Airlines are go...

Pentax repairs .. return times?
My K10D really needs to go back to Pentax so that I can get a mark looked at on my sensor (Too heavy handed with my rocket blower). It may need a new sensor or maybe just a clean but can anyone tell me what their turnaround time are like? Thanks.
