don't know how to explain
Just a thought, but it could be the aperture on your kit lens is faulty. When you compose your shot the lens is held 'open' ie at the widest possible aperture and it only contracts when the shot is taken. If it has developed a fault it could be not opening correctly. If you take your kit le...

K5 glitches
Happened with my K7 and my K5. If it doesn't pop out far enough push it back in and give it a quick 'flick' to get it to popout further. ;)

O-ME53 Magnifying Eyecup vs KPS
I'm just getting into manual focussing, and often struggle to see clearly the focus indicator on my K100D. And I'm too deaf to depend on the beep. As I understand it, the O-ME53 fits all models, so as and when I move up to a K-5 it would still be useful. The KPS has been favorably mentioned here bef...

His and Hers K5s
They arrived safely today, first batteries are charged and Sue has beaten me to it with a faultless shot from the TV screen. We've both set up the cameras the same, so when we work together every shot will match as well as possible. All very nice and smooth, ultra-quiet shutter, and an effect...

K5 came today
You'll love it! Takes me back to when mine arrived. When you actually have the thing in your hands the last thing you want to do is read the manual. I solved that by reading the entire thing in PDF format (twice) before I actually got the camera.

K-x Raw or Jpeg?
I shoot RAW, but fps does suffer. I once tried JPEG and found quite a few images with blown highlights that I could not recover. In RAW this is hardly ever the case. So, I'm back to RAW. My bugbear is that I cannot continuously shoot. The K-x is supposed to do 4.7 fps with a buffer for 5 RAW imag...

K-x Raw or Jpeg?
I tend to fall back to the old skills used while shooting film. I tend to be able to judge EV compensation situations. If it's a "critical" shot I'd shoot 3,5 or 7 frames with EV comp presets. That function could or should also be removed from the camera if we all shoot RAW as why have any photog...

K-x Raw or Jpeg?
It is very much courses for horses, and this whole endless debate is pretty pointless. The race car on the 20mph road is a bad analogy really. A better one would be if you had the chance to drive on a racetrack at 200mph the race car would be the best choice, but if you had to drive on a Romanian "...

K-x Raw or Jpeg?
clearly we need to thoroughly try out each to the point of overindulgence. In the name of scientific research of course.... I'll start with a pitcher of lager and a bucket of wings, then try a pint or two of ale and some ribs... I'll get back to you when I'm done studying!:P If it wasn't for keepin...

K20D
At 800 mm you need to use a tripod, or have a high shutter speed. Do not push the ISO over 400 unless there is plenty of light. Sharpest images on most lenses tend to be a couple of stops smaller than maximum aperture. Unless it's a mirror lens (fixed aperture). In which case you just have to wai...
