Camera purchase from internet - any international manufacturer's guarantee?
My first Pentax was bought on holiday in the US. The guy in the shop was very helpful and arranged with Pentax in Golden Co. for me to get an international warranty sent to a friends house where we would be ending our trip. It was waiting for me when we got there. I returned the US warranty papers t...

Strong flare "effects" in polluted environment
"whenver a spot-light or a street-light is in the picture, if the light they radiate is strong enough, the spot-light or street-light replicate itself somewhwere above its location. Usually it looks as if there were a bulb hanging from the sky. I never got more than one of these luminous spots, but ...

Downsides to Shake Reduction
I have yet to see any difference in shots taken with SR on or off when the camera is mounted on a tripod, other than the data saying stabilized or not ready. :shock: Well said, sir. Delving into my murky memory banks, I seem to recall that SR uses something called "Fuzzy Logic" which actually cre...

Downsides to Shake Reduction
If they had only said why we wouldn't have a debate! Indeed. I would soooo like to give the guy that wrote that part of the manual a good slap for that omission. :) Turning SR off would save power, however insignificant. Turning SR off would save unnecessary wear on the SR mechanism. Ther...

Cant open utility 4 for my new KX
Use the System Restore function - it will roll back the registry to the pre first install settings. Just choose the appropriate restore point. It will NOT affect any documents or images just systems and applications.

K-7 long exposure bug?
I think I had a similar K20D problem: I was trying to take long time night shots of a star configuration, in the hope of showing star trail effect of our worlds rotation within the universe. I had left the shutter open via bulb release cable and a power pack (transformer) for approx four hours in th...

eye piece for k10
The trouble is that anything that puts your eye further back will make it harder to see the whole image at once. Instead you have to move your eye around to look at only part of the image at once.

What a fantastic camera!
so satisfying to hold and "fondle"... My Mummy told me to watch out for people like you... . The noisy shutter on my K10D is positively embarrassing at weddings :) The camera virtually jumps off the gorillapod on multi-frame with a remote. I've only ever hankered for a K20 for noise control and ...

What a fantastic camera!
A good camera deserves a good lens. You won't know how good it is until you get a better lens. G totally agree, George. Working on that. Any good suggestions? Thanks! :-) Depends on what you shoot James. Might be worth going back through images you have taken with your current lens to see wh...

What a fantastic camera!
I'm not into all the bell's and whistles!...the only way I would change my K20 would be if Pentax produced a camera with better image quality.....as yet they haven't,so I'll stick with what I have.....:D My little review////////it is not as pleasing to look at as the K20,it is very "Square" at the b...

k7 settings?
Pictures naturally won't be as sharp on a pixel level because the camera has higher resolution, but they should look sharp as a whole. Personally I like to shoot RAW then process on my computer, but you might want to try +1 or +2 Sharpness with JPEG. Better to leave contrast at medium because hig...

It wasn`t relevant Amin - I was merely pointing out that I had had some discourse with him over the fact that he and she were "coppers" and that I had had some good conversation with him regarding both the "job" and cameras. It would be nice to think that if I "stopped contributing" someone might...

Am loving my new k7, but I did notice that the pictures aren't as contrasty or maybe not as sharp as what I had achieved on k2000? I know the default setting is on "bright", but is there adjustments you K7 owners make to sharpness and contrast? Or is this a preferable way, and make any adjustments...

Dave, In my humble experience and please do take this with a pinch of salt as my expertise are nowhere near as good as some members here, but I can tell you with a fair bit of certainty that if you develop a bit more your processing skills you will notice a huge difference in your final results. ...
