Just make sure the wall is out of focus so you can disregard marks on the wall itself.

Welcome back Stephanie. If I remember correctly you are quite young, 12 or 13 I think? Congratulations on owning your first DSLR, and you've picked a good one. Your lens range covers the focal lengths from 18 - 200mm, that should be enough for now for most of your needs. Use them to the full ...

Have fun with the new camera and your lenses and don't think of buying anything for a while! Learning to photograph is more important than being a consumer. But when you do, I recommend a fast 50, so you have new options. Maybe even a Pentax A 50mm f/1.7 which will force you to use manual focus b...

Try focusing on the edge of the paper before cafrefully re-composing the shot. you will obviously have to keep the focus locked by holding the shutter release half pressed.

Use manual settings or set the approriate menu item to "release priority" instead of "focus priority".

If your doing the test to see if there are marks on the sensor it would probably be better out of focus.... i.e. focus set at infinity.... you don't want to pick up any marks on the paper. I've not got a K-5 but I presume you have to set it to MF.

K5 Poll
I am planning to get a K5 when I'm back in the UK over Xmas. However, the issues with the sensor have got me concerned. I thought it might be useful, for potential buyers, to get some idea about the scale of the problem by starting a poll here. More detailed observations (how serious the sensor m...

K5 Poll
Contacted Mifsuds about it and have asked for a replacement, for some reason they don't seem too impressed. :D But do you think that it's because you got it at a silly price...? ;) Don't think it was a silly price (about £100 less than it should have been) .. I just took advantage of their mistake. ...
