Exposure points - daft question
I expect it to lock the AE reading to a set value at the same time that it locks the focus. That's what happens with "AE-L with AF Locked" but not "Link AE to AF Point".

Stuck in Replay Mode
I have a K100D which takes great pictures. The problem I have is that when I view a some pictures in replay mode, the camera seems to freeze up. When this happens, I can not edit the picture or change modes. The only solution is to turn the camera off and back on after which I can resume taking p...

Fifthed except K7 body, fully articulated 3" screen a la G1, and IS and dustbusting a la Olympus, visible focus points in the viewfinder, my menu, no increase in pixel count necessary thankyou. Just a tip, the K-7 does have a very similar dust busting technique to Oly (Ultra sonic vibration of the ...

Using a K10D. 1.Better iso, without banding, 3200 like 800 now. 2.Taller so my hand fits better. 3.Focus setting for different lenses, no bf/ff issues. 4.MLU 5.5-10 fps 6.100% viewfinder So really not much some money wouldn't sort out :P Want to lend me hand? :lol:

oh I thought of something else, somehow link the AF system to white ballance so the AF is accurate under all lighting conditions. It's irritating that it goes funny under tungsten light, right when you want to be using f/1.4 because it's dark so don't have the depth of field to accomodate out of...

for me the previously popular faster af, faster burst mode etc etc, but I'd be most happy to see an articulated flip out lcd screen (or better yet a detachable (even if wired though wireless would rock) lcd screen that also works as remote) but touch sensitive with "Spot focus" and "Spot metering" s...

) but touch sensitive with "Spot focus" and "Spot metering" so you can touch the screen on the point you want in focus or to meter.... . that would be pretty snazzy, though you'd have to be able to disable it so as to avoid nasally operated AF and metering

Erm... I actually really love my K20D. Me too - in my original post I was thinking about how I'd want to improve on it if I replace it, and I could only think of the screen, mount and 100% VF (and I've already bought a Katz Eye split screen). Maybe full-frame at some distant date if the bulk can b...

K-7. Better detail in RAW - needs a lot of sharpening to extract it. More reliability . Mine has been to the Dr. twice. Firstly because front e-wheel wasn't working, got it back to find the AF was on the blink. OK now. Greater dynamic range. Less noise at higher iso (>800).

For my K10D .....Now I have knackered my back carrying too much kit everywhere I'd like Pentax to make a high quality rotating/right angle view finder so I don't have to bend down so much! I'm hoping that Pentax are looking at all your suggestions so that by the time I upgrade the next model w...

K20D: - non-crippled KAF2 mount - TTL flash compatibility - quieter shutter - better battery level display ( >50?% + < 50?% is laughable, give us 4 levels at least in top LCD and % in Menu ) in that order. The lack of the 1st 2 is almost inexcusable as the development work was already in...

- replace EvComp, Iso and RAW buttons by custom buttons (green button already serves as a custom button, so that's ok). - Enable Av mode on PK-M lenses, using one of the two following alternatives (could be made a choice in "Permit A ring use" custom function): * stop-down the lens on half-press...

Be gentle...I'm new here..Focus confirmation Q
Hi, I have just picked up a K100D plus a Pentax-A 50mm 1:1.7 and a Beck 135mm 1:1.28. Now from what I have read [and remember I'm new to this] they both should give a focus confirmation beep/red dot/symbol at bottom of the viewfinder. In reality when I fit the A 1.7 the camera asks for i...

Be gentle...I'm new here..Focus confirmation Q
Welcome Andy and nice camera choice ! No idea why the 'Beck' is not asking for focal length confirmation. You have to turn off the camera, make sure SR is 'on', fit lens then turn on. The focus confirmation is a green hexagon at the bottom of the viewfinder. The red spot in the middle is just co...

Welcome to the forum :D You need to permit manual aperture you can find that option in the "custom" menu, that should do the trick. hmm that's this option from you link. Under Menu>Custom Setting, make sure “Using Aperture Ring” is set to “2 - permitted”, this is OFF by default. Like said ...
