shake button blues
Cant answer your question Graham but I know two people with the GX10 and BOTH have had the SR lever fall off:shock: one eventually got the body replaced by Samsung for a GX20 (lucky sod)and the second I only heard of last wednesday so I've yet to discover the outcome. As the cameras are virtually...

shake button blues
Just curious.....Is your camera now permanently set to: SR on or SR off.? Either way, did your K10D stop working.:roll: What I mean is this.........The only thing that could break of and would not worry me for a bit, is the SR switch. You can still take excellent pictures with it, you know. ...

shake button blues
I wonder if sometimes all these extras are assisting or hindering the creative process.:? I wonder that too. None of the extras do anything that you cannot do for yourself. They just obviate the need for practise and technical know-how. Personally, I feel that if you do learn to hold the camer...

Question about new Pentax rumour.
Any news what Kodak sensor they will use Amin, the KAF-31600, the KAF-39000 or the new KAF-50100? Don't ask me how I know it will be a Kodak I'll have to kill you too :wink: Also the lens for the 645D are on the roadmap so it isn't that surprising the 645D will come, it will be a Japanese export...

Airshow question
In that case I thank you all and will put the one "OFF" vote down to a jealous Nikon user who's camera doesn't have SR. Only kidding Scott :wink: Of course if the pictures all turn out to be crap I will be right back here blaming the lot of you. (Except Scott).

Airshow question
If my depleted memory banks serve me correctly, When Shake reduction was first announced to the world i recall the term Fuzzy Logic, What i think they said was that the SR worked by creating its own vibration so that when you captured the image it would cancel out you`r own natural vibration. Anyh...

Airshow question
Easier to get someone to throw a stick for a dog. If they can throw accurately, you should have a pretty consistent test subject - 'til the dog runs out of steam or enthusiasm. Maybe do it panning in only one dimension first. Standing by the side (preferably on the inside of a curve - see below)...

Airshow question
I think i`ll stick to plan A!!! I don`t expect to see any difference at the kind of shutter speeds needed for aircraft photography. As for technique, Although i no longer go to Airshows these days, Back in the 70`s i spent most of my week-ends at Airshows or traveling around Airfields and Airpor...

Sticky Shutter button on my K20D
Back to being serious, you could try a product called 'Sticky Stuff Remover'.

Sticky Shutter button on my K20D
Looks like this thread went from series to silly and back again :) Well thanks to the Fairy Liquid my shutter is as smooth as a whistle once again. Thanks for advice. I just put some liquid in a plate with work tap water and soaked clean sponge in it. Than just pressed gently on shutter butt...

Manual focus on GX 10.
I do not use auto focusing very often but, I am at the moment because, I do not know how to disengage the auto focus. I set up the effect that I want, shoot and the camera re-focuses for me. I scream at it but it ignores me. Help needed please! Rex.

Turn the small dial on the side of the pentaprosm housing to "MF" and the job's done.

Manual focus on GX 10.
So that is what that switch is for. I'd forgotten about that one. I got the camera last year and haven't touched it until about a month ago and I must have left the manual in the hospital along with my brain. Thanks yet again folks. I promise that I will improve. Regards, Rex.

Manual focus on GX 10.
There are an awful lot of switches and knobs on these modern cameras. Without constant use it's easy to forget exactly what some of them do. In a similar way, after 35 years of using Nikons every day for my work, I still wrongly align the Pentax lenses each and every ****** time I go to mount the...

if you have a lens with a motor built im ie swm or hsm then you will need to turn that to mf as well as the body Since when Scott? Never heard that before and I have just tried my DA"300 and either switch disables AF.

Manual focus on GX 10.
I still remember how complicated the first affordable slr's seemed to be and I could only afford one because I was living in the far east. I still wrongly align the Pentax lenses each and every ****** time I go to mount them! Is this legal? Do you have special times for mounting them? Lemmy, I ...

50-200 versus 18-55
The time of day that you shoot will also make a difference if you're including a lot of sky in your photos. If you shoot towards the Sun then the sky will be very bright and your subject will be in the shade; try and time your visits so that you capture what you want with your back to the Sun - this...
