Group Focus
If the kids are set in rows, focus on the middle row, and use an aperture of f:8 or smaller. Everything should then be in focus.

The Kr. Better then an M4/3rd?
One thing I consider a must is a good viewfinder as I just can't get used to using the rear LCD and holding the camera away from me to frame / take a shot. Ditto, because the m4/3 feels like the old rangefinders, I find myself holding it up to my eye and then getting annoyed that the electronic vi...

Noise and the K7
Oh thanks for that Andy, i've never been in to the camera to set anything because i was worried i wouldn'tget back to factory settings, i mainly use manual mode and manual focus, i think i need to study the camera manual more. Maria

Electronic level innacuracy - how long to fix?
Thanks for the general chat guys. My second K5 had an accurate level and I do use it. The whole point of this and the auto horizon feature is because rotation in software causes image degradation. Also, I paid £800 for a camera and this is one of the features that swayed it for me. So, back to the q...

Anyone had it fixed by Pentax or do I send this one back as well? So, what have you done ? Davex

Electronic level innacuracy - how long to fix?
So, what have you done? Nothing so far, if I had more time on my hands I think I would be back trying out other bodies, but to be honest I have had a bit of a week so far. I was going to wait till after the next wedding in October and then send it in for service under warranty between then and my tr...

Electronic level innacuracy - how long to fix?
So, what have you done ? Still nothing :wink: but I have just discovered that in portrait mode, the level on my camera is accurate, who would have thunk it! As this is the orientation I have more trouble with, I am tempted to leave it as it is, rather than lose the camera for a month or two and have...

Electronic level innacuracy - how long to fix?
I spoke to Pentax UK - answer was that there's no fix available and none for the foreseeable future so it looks like we'll have to live with it According to that is not the advice Pentax were giving a couple of months ago. I will be sending mine back for recalibration after Oct 15 (I don't trust t...

Do you have the camera set to AF-C? This setting will cause it to continually focus.

Do you have the camera set to AF-C? This setting will cause it to continually focus. Not quite true John. Even if set to AF-C, you need to at least half press the shutter button to activate it, and the OP stated that focussing seemed to occur "without touching any buttons".

Do you just put up with it not working quite right?
The K5 went back when the stains came to light. I think I would put things like the electronic level down to engineering tolerance variation. I think maybe the example you give (JR v Mike-P) is a wrong one. In that you'r not talking about an equipment fault but what some people perceive as a flaw in...

Do you just put up with it not working quite right?
I haven't voted I'm afraid. My K-5 went back for stains. It was very obvious on mine. I don't have any other niggles with the new one. If I did it would depend on the problem. I can live without the level, I couldn't live with a sticky shutter. I can live with a dust bunny or two, I can't live...

Do you just put up with it not working quite right?
I've been following the various 'gear not working right' threads with a bit more interest recently, since I'm now quite close to taking the plunge and getting a K-5. Many of them make for quite depressing reading, and have put me off lashing out the grand or a bit more for the body and something ...

My first K-5 went back because of the low light AF fault.

Do you just put up with it not working quite right?
The level in my K5 is way off and utterly useless which is a major disappointment especially as the one on the K7 was spot on. However, living in Doha means I would be without a camera for a long time if I send it back so I live with it. It is extremely annoying though to have such a useful feature ...

Do you just put up with it not working quite right?
If I'd spent £1000 on a new body I'd want it to work right. There's always a little give and take, I can't get straight horizons on my(now old) K200, that's down to the sensor floating around and me not standing straight, but if that had been a setup/production problem the body would have gone ba...
