K-7 shims
G'Day Lance! That's quite a saga. It appears from your description that it is AF that is in issue here, not focus per se were one to do that manually? Also (knowing you had a K10 and K20), did you discover shims in those bodies as well? It's certainly interesting (and I'll be checking mine la...

K-7 shims
I've been through similar travails with my K20D. i spent a while looknig for genuine shims, but couldn't find any. SRS referred me to Johnsons who completely ignored my two emails. I ended up using some strips of post-it note, which seem fairly close to perfect but not quite there. Would lov...

K-7 shims
A most interesting thread! I'll have to check my K10d to which I have fitted a KatzEye with split image in conjunction with my 50mm f1.2. Since I also shoot a 500mm mirror lens - manual focus, of course - and a Vivitar 100mm f3.5 macro lens, also manual focus, the KatzEye was a logical purchase. ...

K-7 shims
Hi, I have fitted a Katzeye screen and had manual focus issues using the split screen. Rachael Katz was very helpful in trying to resolve the problem and advised obtaining shims for the K7. I received the following email from the UK Pentax Service Agent: Hello. Thank you for your enquiry reg...

Lens correction feature on K7
My understanding is from a K10 perspective - it only has one, universal adjustment for all lenses. I also understand that it affects only the autofocus, and in the K7, the individual lens adjustments only work if you shoot in jpg mode. Thus, there are likely two allied solutions: first, shoot in...

Lens correction feature on K7
I think you are talking about different things. " An innovative in-camera Lens Correction function that electronically adjusts for Distortion and Lateral Chromatic Aberrations to maximize image quality with DA series lenses." Read more: http://digital-photography-school.com/pentax-k7-dslr#ixz...

Pentax K-7 Flash Problems
archie what im saying is that the camera is not usable using out iso. try using in apature priorty mode, say f8 using flash i expect it will use 160/sec set the iso to auto 100 to 1600, with mine it will just be way over exposed. as far as im concerned the flash should be usable in any mode when u...

Pentax K-7 Flash Problems
Just a few thoughts before a full info (although excuse this very long reply! :lol:) : * The K-7 isn't a point-n-shoot ;) * Flash isn't a "magic bullet" - it can't cover all lighting situations automatically. A lot is left to the photographer (but it isn't hard once you know how!!) * I suspect ...

Pentax K-7 Flash Problems
That's definitely odd - because I've just tried everything I can think of to make it go wrong.... and every flash exposure comes out wonderfully! (Much better exposure compared to the K20D and prior). I picked P mode, Auto ISO 100-2500 (Fast) and tried all kinds - both near and far - and I just c...

hi matt original focus screen also matrix metering and using the kit wr lenses also flash power output is set to normal middle. I will try do some more test but i still think it bumps the iso up with out needing it especially in tav and manual mode. Using auto iso

Pentax K-7 Flash Problems
Ok, I've tried this out some more and can add the following information and descriptions ;) As I hinted at before there are ways to tell the camera how to balance the ambient light with the flash lighting. Depending on the flash modes you have set, the camera will obtain an exposure for either th...

Pentax K-7 Flash Problems
You may want to do a "Reset all settings" on the K-7 to get it back to factory default... There is a simpler way for that, when you go into the "cutom menu" you would have the option to remove the custom settings you made by "unchecking" the first box. It's not a reset but if you find that didn't m...

If it does have to back you'd be better sending it to Johnsons Photopia directly since that is where SRS will have to send it. Save a bit of time.

4!!! I've got only two (4 and 5) and they are pretty efficient in the chaos dept., so I cannot even start to understand where you still find the time to grab your camera! My photo allocated time slot is usually between midnight and 2 (pretty hard to find interesting subjects!). [EDIT : I just read ...
