I'll buy it if it has a hyperfocal distance focus mode. EM

Q Hands-on TheCameraStoreTV
Apple was on the brink of bankruptcy, when Jobs was called back. Now probably the most valuable company in the world.

Q Hands-on TheCameraStoreTV
Oh come on Smeggy he means the Q could do for Pentax what the iPod did for Apple - ie turn the fortunes of the company around (more market awareness, more market share, more cash). Don't think it is going to happen.... Not wishing to be pedantic :) but the real back-from-the-brink product was the...

KR fine focus adjustment.
Hi all, I was taking some test shots with my new Sigma 50mm Macro (on a tripod)at various apertures, and whilst they were high quality I'm convinced they could be sharper (or maybe its just me), and as I didn't get a user guide with my used KR, what is best procedure for 'tuning' in lenses using ...

KR fine focus adjustment.
http://www.pentax.jp/english/support/download_manual.html for the manual Menu C page three item 21. Only one global setting on KR though. Did you turn the shake reduction off (info screen push two top right) as it won't work on a tripod?

KR fine focus adjustment.
I sure did.

KR fine focus adjustment.
There are some calibration installations you can make or buy where you need to focus on and fine tune the focus. You can simply test the focus with a tripod by first making a shot with the normal AF and then one using the liveview contrast focus, that one bypass all the calibration errors that ca...

Flash not firing on KR
Hi, I dont know if anyone has any advise but my popup flash does not seem to be working anymore. If I pop it up the auto focusing doesnt work either and I cannot take a picture. If I put it back down the camera works fine. I have tried resetting the camera back to factory defaults but that didn...

Battery problem? K5
Hello, I am a first time Pentax user and bought my K5 back in August and have been using the original battery and one from VHBW via amazon throughout an East-African trip. I figured one change of battery would be sufficient given the official life given (taken with the obligatory pinch of salt!)....

Battery problem? K5
for the first cycles, a battery will not have 100% capacity, end of. Live View also really eats batteries - staying away from reviewing, I have well in excess of 700 shots from one. Video will kill a battery inside 3-4 hours. The bar behaviour is *not* an idiosyncracy. The power available is so l...

What if the Q had been made by a different company?
I've really enjoyed monitoring all the forum discussion on the Pentax Q. It, more than any other recent Pentax product, seems to have divided the Pentax faithful. Some people see it as just the model the Pentax line-up needs, whilst others are concerned that the price is to great considering what...

No exterior manual controls though? Both models have them on the back, rather than the top. They are limited and are fairly simplistic.

What if the Q had been made by a different company?
If I were to travel (a rare occurrence these days), that would represent some of my best photo opportunities. There's no way I wouldn't take my best kit or just reserve it for mundane back home stuff. If space were tight then I might consider a few compact primes, but I wouldn't sacrifice IQ. The...

My first K-5 question...
I went to SRS in Watford today, and came back with a K-5, an 18-135 and a credit card that was whimpering quietly. So the battery's charging (and will be for several more hours), and I already have my first question... How might I - non-destructively - remove the D-ring (and flexible protector...

My first K-5 question...
... and while I'm hoping for the collective forum genius to come up with something, I may as well mention the secondary requirement. Which is of course to be able to get it back on again so that in a few years time I can sell it again! (I know, I don't ask much, do I.)

My first K-5 question...
WOO - done it. And remarkably easily, it turned out. It occurred to me that what I needed was something thin, made of plastic not metal - so, inspired by Carl's suggestion, I used the plastic handle end of a nail file - :) Held the camera on my lap, and gradually inserted the file handle ...
