K-x wired remote

K-x wired remote
While I agree that a wired remote is ideal, I don't follow Edradour's arguments fully. "Dodging back and forth" must be an exagguration, I would think that stretching one's hand slightly in front of the camera would do it. As for multiple shots for stitched panoramas, I wouldn't consider a remote...

K10d with stuck autofocus & lens lock
Request them to write down what exactly was the cause of the malfunction. If you can prove that it was not your fault but that it was a factory defect you should be able to claim back the repair cost but it might be hard to prove though :?

The next >K7 spec sensor?
Do you know it's back-illuminated CMOS sensor? There is some news Samsung was busy making one.

Olympus/Pentax fit?
+4 on keeping it, I've never used an OM1 but they have a good reputation so stick the 50mm on the front, some film in the back, and laugh at yourself every time you take a shot and go to check the histogram (thats what I always do with my ME-F!!)

Kx and K10 for football pics
Hi Guys Over the months I've had some great pointers form folk on here. I now use both a KX and my older K10 for shooting action pictures at various amateur football games. The K10 is normally used in TAv mode and centre point focussing. I tried this with the KX and found a greater numbe...

Kx and K10 for football pics
Hi Giofi I also have the Sigma 70-300 which i bought at the same time as my K10. It has the advantage over Pentax 50-300 in that it allows for some macro work. On balance I prefer the Pentax zoom. Seems to be a little sharper at the 250-300 mm end. Maybe others have experiences which will h...

Are Pentax getting carried away with coloured cameras??
Given that some people don't like change, which is perfectly understandable, it's remarkable how little complaint the coloured Kx cameras have triggered. It must basically be a universally acceptable idea and if so it's amazing that it hasn't been tried before. It has been used on a small scal...

Are Pentax getting carried away with coloured cameras??
I'd just like a black KX, with those little red focus point indicators in the viewfinder. Regards

Photo Recovery Software for Raw Photos
Sandisk do RescuePRO and it's very good, pulled back loads from my cards in the past, also it runs direct from a CD so no need to install on PC.

Pentax K-X and continous shoot in sports mode...
Setting are correct. Set for JPEG. 12mp. Tried again... First 3 are taken fast then about a second lag before shoot 4 is taken and likewise for the 5th etc... I formatted the card via camera. Same result. I did a full format on PC. Same result. I'm awaiting delivery of another memory card (same s...

K7 AF problem
My K7 has just developed a problem with the AF. SDM and HSM lenses focus very slow and sometimes stick, non-SDM seem OK. I've tried the SDM/HSM lenses on my GX20 body and they work OK so problem is definitely with SDM/HSM on K7. I got my K7 from SRS in February so it is still under warranty, has ...

Fixed aperture exposure problems
with these lenses you won't get Pattern metering, the camera can only do spot and centre weighted without electric contacts. If it's set to pattern, it'll default to centre weighted. My guess is that you're looking at some pretty small apertures with the lenses you mention. I find that the camera...

Fixed aperture exposure problems
It's a limitation of the system, and even the instruction book warns that exposures may not be accurate. It's really a matter of the amount of backwards compatibility that can be expected. You can use almost any lens going back over 40 years and some working around is only to be expected. Othe...

The K-M: Any sound advice?
Hi chaps! I'll be owning a K-m later today (when it arrives!) to accompany my K20D, for situations when a hulking beast of a DSLR with grip can be more cumbersome/akward/dare I say it - innapropriate. Not that I don't love my K20D of course!!!!! But, I've had my K20D for some time now - well o...

The K-M: Any sound advice?
When I have my K-m I used to keep it on AF-S, centre point only, focus and recompose as necessary. This, for me, bypassed the issue of illuminated focus points. In terms of ISO, I generally kept it at 100-400, as I find with most cameras in Av mode they will tend to adjust the ISO before the shut...

The K-M: Any sound advice?
The K-m will work perfectly with the same settings - I tend to let mine roam between 100-800 ISO in Program or Av, or dial it in manually in M mode. I have never noticed the lack of indicated focus points, mind you I pretty much went straight from a P30T to mine so you never miss what you didn't...
