Adjusting iso with K-r
Just been having a play with the K-r in manual mode. I can click iso on the control pad and use the wheel to adjust it, but the iso value is not displayed in the viewfinder so have to pull back and use screen. Not the end of the world but seems an easy feature to have been implemented (you can chang...

K100D Super queries
Two questions:- 1) I recently got water into my K100D (in the nav keys and also the SD card) but after some gentle heat from a distant hair dryer (hand-warm) it seemed to solve the problem. However the next day I discovered that while the camera appeared to work normally, all images were offset ver...

K100D Super queries
While probably highly irrelevant, I had a point and shoot kodak V1253 HD which got some sand into the front lens assembly and wouldnt pop out when started. Hardly worth sending into a repair shop. As you, I am an avid DIY person and have been for some time. Over the years I have accumulated quite a ...

K-7 or K-5?
Hey Everyone! It is official, I have placed an order for the K-7. Hopefully it will come sometime this week =) Good. At least it's not an impulse purchase, looking back you can honestly say you'd given fair attention to the pros and cons. .R.

sigma HSM on Kx, manual focus only??
Hello, Trying out a second hand sigma HSM lens, it has a AF/MF button on the lens, whatever setting I use I can only seem to use Manual focus. Even when I put the camera on AF and the lens on AF my autofocus is not recognised by the camera (it says MF on the screen). Am I doing something wron...

sigma HSM on Kx, manual focus only??
Try to clean the contacts. If that doesn't help contact Sigma and see what they say.

sigma HSM on Kx, manual focus only??
thx for the tip, cleaned it, it wasn't working and then all the sudden it worked! i'm a bit worried it might stop again..? is that a common thing? otherwise the AF is fast and silent, i like it!

sigma HSM on Kx, manual focus only??
Don't know never had a sigma. I do know that dirty problem caused some of the problems with SDM/HSM so that's why i suggested it. It's the bottom contact (info contact) that's important for that.

sigma HSM on Kx, manual focus only??
For burnishing contacts like these, is the old computer tip of using the eraser on a pencil safe for camera contacts as well?

For burnishing contacts like these, is the old computer tip of using the eraser on a pencil safe for camera contacts as well? They are more like bearings though so be carefully that no gum comes in the fitting for the rest i don't see why it should be a problem.

is that a common thing? otherwise the AF is fast and silent, i like it! It's relatively common, but equally easy to fix each time it happens.

Catch in focus conundrum
Hi Guys, How come if I have AF set on half press (K100D on M80-200) the cif works ie: only releases shutter when focus light lit... but when I set enable focus on the OK button, the shutter will release whether the focus light is on or not ? cheers Pete

Catch in focus conundrum
When you select the OK button to do your auto focussing, your shutter button just has one role.... to operate the shutter. So the behaviour you describe seems normal to me.

Catch in focus conundrum
Yeah same to me, i'v actually put the AF away from the shutter for that reason. With quick-shift you have manual focus lenses unless you press the OK/AF button.

Catch in focus conundrum
I thought "Catch in Focus" refers to the customisation of the setttings to actually automate the shutter firing when the subject comes into focus. I was taking pictures at a horse showjumping event when I first got my K20D. As you can imagine when the horse starts to move, time is running out an...

Catch in focus conundrum
The problem is technique. If you prefocus on the jump, where you know the horse will be, just release the shutter a fraction of a second before the horse is there. There is a slight delay before the shutter releases, so you need to allow for this. You can use manual focus. Catch in focus is where...

Catch in focus conundrum
Pete, I realise this is an old question of yours, but have you tried pressing the "OK" button while you press the shutter button? Does the camera still fire the shutter even if nothing is in focus?
