K-5 number 2 after 1000 shots
If it was a tv or something from currys that is what would happen Not if it's outside the 30 day limit it wouldn't. If your camera is faulty though approach the supplier and they will sort it out. If you are in the UK and want to check your rights then: http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/ I just d...

k-r Focus Screen
Hi all, Just bought a Pentax k-r, my first DSLR, and was a bit confused about the plain focus screen, having only used a manual focus film SLR before. Having looked into it a bit more, I can see I'm going to have to replace the focus screen if I want to focus manually (and I don't want to have t...

k-r Focus Screen
Hi Dave, I also have the K-r and an old film slr with a split-ring focussing screen. It took a little while to get used to this one for manual focus but it is certainly possible, and i believe you also get a confirmation hexagon in the bottom right hand corner of the viewfinder to confirm the foc...

k-r Focus Screen
Thanks for your reply. I was reading up about the autofocus settings in the manual this weekend and came across the 'in-focus' hexagon you mention. I can't get it to appear in manual focus though - did you have to activate it? I get it in autofocus, and I'm using the kit lens, so that shouldn't be a...

k-r Focus Screen
When you think its focussed half press the shutter then keep it pressed while fine adjusting the focus and you'll get it. P.s I only found this out by messing about with manual focus! It'll beep when in focus and you will also see red dots in the viewfinder (as you do with AF) to confirm what you've...

k-r Focus Screen
Got it. Tried a few different settings before I realised that I had to change the AF mode - I had it set so it didn't autofocus when half-pressing the shutter button, only when I pressed the AF/AE-L button. I'll see how this works for me before I consider changing the focus screen again. Thank...

Jpeg on K-5
Problem solved. Just found the 16GB Samsung card I mislaid a while back. Lost it months ago, then when looking through a box (I had searched 3 times already) for a card reader it just fell out. Thanks everyone .. it's back to raw for me. :D

Jpeg on K-5
Interestingly the Canaries are EU members, being part of Spain, but they have special status within the EU. So whilst they are correct in saying you can buy duty free to take to the Canaries, they are wrong in saying they are not EU. And for Norway it is cheaper to buy at their duty free when you...

K5 vs K10D - a question about their respective designs
I thought exactly the same thing but after using the K-7 for a few weeks it felt so much better than the K10D/K20D. The larger hand grip means I can walk around with the camera and fairly large lens and not worry about a neck strap at all. It feels that safe. So much so that when I went back to m...

K5 vs K10D - a question about their respective designs
Already have a K10D and a K100D. Added K5. First impression when I handled the K5 in the shop before buying: the mode dial is flimsy. Second impression: that camera is quiet. Later impressions: charging of battery takes long and green button is not where I expected it. And although I hardly u...

Mirrorless rumours
Would like to see a mirror less Pentax with the K Mount, I've been considering a Sony NEX but would prefer to be able to use lenses across both my SLR and Compact so I would be more than up for buying one of those, especially if the rumours are correct about it using a Sony Sensor as the NEX series ...

Mirrorless rumours
I've been playing with the kr for days now and to be honest I won't be shopping for another slr for a while now...:wink: one can argue that the kx is old for entry d-slr standards, but look up dxo mark's ratings on the kx vs samsung nx, sony nex, and panasonic 4/3's and you'll see the kx can kick E...

Help! Sensor cleaning made it worse.
My sensor was showing a few spots of dust - not surprising since I have been changing lenses outdoors a fair bit. I purchased a Rocket Blower and a VisibleDust Arctic Butterfly SL700 sensor brush to attempt to rectify the problem. After a few blasts with the blower and a once over with the brush - a...

K10 questions...
I've just taked delivery of a (new to me) K10 which is going to be I hope a reasonable step up from my K100. Just a couple of questions, is the latest firmware version 1.31? I will be mainly using it with my 16-45 and one or two manual primes, but mainly the 16-45. Do I need to somehow calibra...

K10 questions...
I believe you have the latest update. As for focus adjustment, their is a hack available, search the forum, if you cannot find the hack by searching then perhaps you should leave it alone anyway :wink: Personally i would take a few shots with the 16-45 on af and then decide. Enjoy the K10. Dave...
