Official K-5 specs !!!
Well at least with the K-5 it now auto aligns the 3 pics in camera so there is less need for a tripod. I cant get on with the HDR feature in the K-7 as even the smallest movement messes it up so take my 3 pictures and then come back and do it in software. Another strange feature on the K-5 : it s...

Official K-5 specs !!!
Based on the picture Mike embedded, how effective is the WR likely to be with that double barrel extension? Am I being dense, or will water not end up intruding via the two joins when the lens is retracted? EDIT: If 'DC' does indeed represent some new flavour of SDM (one that works, even) then it...

Official K-5 specs !!!
I've just come back from a week in the Lake District, and there was a lot of bright cloud about. In many cases, bracketing like crazy, it was impossible to get anywhere close to usable exposure for the hills without burning out great swathes of sky. It drove me nuts. I'd like to point out that thi...

Official K-5 specs !!!
I have found in many situations that making sure the highlights aren't blown is enough and then using the "fill light" slider in Lightroom pulls up the dark areas. I couldn't guess how many times I have shot bracketed shots for HDR and then found I could get away with carefully editing one of the e...

I think your complicating this far too much especially bringing in audio. The number of colours you have does not increase the dynamic range. It might make it possible to measure it more accurately, between the lowest and highest, but who's interested in measuring the DR to 0.00001 of a stop anyw...

Here's a recent example. In this image the difference in light intensity across the frame was enormous. I had to pull the exposure down 1EV or so and then bracketed three shots +-/1.5EV. I had no tripod and so rested the camera on the railing you see in the foreground bottom. (In other cases I have ...

catch in focus with M lenses
I'm sure that I have used non 'A' lenses before. Could someone jog my memory please, can't get it to work on my K200D. Regards Chris

catch in focus with M lenses
You need to activate the custom function "using aperture ring" and set it to "permitted" after which you can use the camera in manual mode or Av with stop-down metering. Catch-in or trap focus is where there is a manual focus lens used and the camera is set to AF. The shutter will only release wh...

Thanks John. Indeed, it needs to be in AV mode. regards Chris:D

Indeed, it needs to be in AV mode. Not quite, M & B modes also work. :)

Thanks John. Indeed, it needs to be in AV mode. regards Chris:D Nothing to do with focus, but..... You will only get pictures taken at max aperture in Av mode, irrespective of where you have turned the aperture ring to. You need M mode to use stop-down metering.

K-5 Press Release
Looks like it has most of the answers, but as far as I am concerned, it's the auto focus and sensor quality improvements that are key. Now - who is going to be the first to buy one - test it - then let us all know if it's worth the £££ :twisted:

K-5 Press Release
heard there is some talk of using sensor to "Tune" the sensor position to specific lenses???? does that mean the sensor now shifts forwards and backwards to get rid of front/back focus?

K200D and Powerzoom lens
It might be obvious but, Did you push the zoom ring forward to expose the words "POWER ZOOM"? It was fine on the K-7. I'll probably have popped it back to manual zoom. Might be incompatible .
