KM Help please - No Auto Focus/Shutter release
It's starting to sound like a lack of communication between lenses and body. I would check all the contacts on mount and lens very carefully - is one damaged on the mount? Also make sure the lenses are clicked firmly into position (firmly but not too much!)on the body as any misalignment in mount...

KM Help please - No Auto Focus/Shutter release
On the K10d there are four raised contacts from 6 o'clock to 7 o'clock, then one recessed and two more raised, for a total of 7 contacts. The recessed contact is distinctly different in style to the others, and looks to be for compatibility with older lenses, as there is no matching point on the kit...

KM Help please - No Auto Focus/Shutter release
For auto aperture the camera needs the info from the Lens that it is an auto aperture lenses so it's a fault between the comunication of the two, it might be the contacts or something else. Try a firmware upgrade then atleast you know it isn't that, if you still have a problem send it back to the s...

KM Help please - No Auto Focus/Shutter release
Really try a firmware update, it will reset all settings and restore the files. it would solve the problem if that is it. If it's a hardware problem it wouldn't solve it though but an update would not change your situation.

KM/K2000
Hi, I was using a Pentax *ist DS, which I was very happy with. But I wanted more megapixels and wanted RAW and JPEG at the same time. So not wanting to spend a lot the KM/K2000 looked good for me. Thought I was a good photographer! Well last night took pictures at my nieces pre-ball function. All...

First dust on the sensor
After more then a year I discovered the first spec of dust on the sensor of my K20D. My old *ist-DS needed a brush with the arctic butterfly allmost every 6 months and it would have quite a lot of dust on it. On my K20D which sees more lens changes it was only a single spec... A single sweep wit...

Pentax KM rocks (literally)
Hi all! I decided to purchase the Pentax KM(K2000) because it was much smaller than my K20d. Since that time, it seems like I'm always picking it up and taking it with me, leaving the poor K20D at home. I even think the pictures are better from the KM, using the same lenses, though I can't expla...

Link AF and AE on K100D
Hello everyone, This is my first post. I hope I can explain this concisely. When using manual lenses on my K100D, I have AF and AE points set to link. So, I presume the exposure is read from the centre focus point, as this is the only point which is available in MF. When I switch to an AF lens I ...

Link AF and AE on K100D
With the modern lens: If you enable "Link focus point and AE" (in the custom menu), the exposure is biased to the area nearest to the auto focus point that the camera selects ( or you select). I dont know if it uses just one of the 16 segments or an average of a few around that area, but it won't...

K-7 shake reduction problem
Hi all just to complete the story here. I got a replacement K-7 from Pentax a couple of weeks back, and I sent my Sigma 10-20 lens off to Sigma to be checked. Sigma said that they could not find a problem with the lens but would change the electronics in the lens (free of charge) because it could ...

Firmware upgrade for K-7
I don't know if it is the same issue but sometimes the rear e-dial on the grip of my K20D stops working as well. Most of the times a power cycle does the job. One time I had the remove and attach the grip to get it back to life again, maybe there was some dirt on the contacts.

Firmware upgrade for K-7
Well, had the grip exchanged, seemed fine at the shop, then started playing up again at the zoo yesterday, so now it looks like it's the camera. Undecided at the moment to exchange or refund, but I'm angry enough with it at the moment to have it fully boxed up waiting to go back as I just don't ...

Firmware upgrade for K-7
I had a couple of glitches with my K-7 today, My battery meter was reading three bars, which indicates full, but I have been using it for a week so it wasn't fully charged, I switched the camera to movie mode and instantly got a battery depleted alert, and the camera shut down. Switched it off f...

Med Format. DSLR
I heard that the med format DSLR was back on. Has anyone heard that it might be as well? If it's true, I will definately be getting one. I can't see Pentax not having an MDSLR.
