Info screen on K200D question
Evening all Real noob question for 200 D owners. With my Canon cameras the rear panel info is on all the time unless you switch it off. This allows me to see what I'm adjusting - I always shoot full manual so need to see if exposure is right or how much over/under. I mostly shoot with my camera...

Info screen on K200D question
the back screen doesn't stay on and the LCD panel is not illuminated :( Meh nothing is perfect - I'll use top LCD when light enough and peer through the viewfinder when not. I do like the camera lots and the Image quality is top drawer :D

Weather Sealing Failure
I was very sad to discover that after some light rain my new K-5 failed to turn on. It had the 18-135 mounted but the lens was not zoomed in the rain as it does pull air into the lens. The lens had no signs of water ingress and was completely dry inside. There was no water ingress at the lens mou...

Weather Sealing Failure
I remember the GX-10 being thrown in under a running tap with the DA* attached to it, so I'm thinking what you got was a lemon in terms of the K5 considering that the K5 is several generations newer. Nice to hear you're back on track!

On Safari with my new K5 .....
..... well, in the back garden at least. Flushed with enthusiasm after my first few shots with the K5, I toured the garden on Friday looking for wildlife. The following is a selection of what resulted. So far, I wonder whether I should have used f22 instead of F16 for a little more DOF and I will ne...

K10D Focus issue in electrically dimmed lighting
Following what JP describe as a Main Board replacement, and firmware up date my K10D now locks up solid (fairly sure with mirror raised or part raised) when stage lighting clearly within frame. When near the same position and lights still in the frame the camera works OK and Ok just about all other...

K10D Focus issue in electrically dimmed lighting
From a very helpful Matt I received the following: Hi Howard, I'm not sure I can add much, but I don't fully understand the issues you have! I feel you might be experiencing separate, unrelated, incidents and 'joining' them together... perhaps. Some points: * Hunting in low level light ...

K10D Focus issue in electrically dimmed lighting
Re: K10D locking up repeatedly when stage lighting in the frame (at one particular angle) Thanks Matt. I'll copy your comments to Camtronic's Customer Services Manager, where the K10D is now. Besides physical faults, as you suggest, I understand Camtonics are also considering further main bo...

K20D Northern Lights
How does one set up the K20D for best capturing the northern lights? Is this a good way to start: 1. Manual focus 2. White balance: cloudy 3. ISO 400 4. Lens wide open 5. Exposure start out with 8 seconds, adjust 6. Manual - mode, check histogram *TRIPOD:D Which lens should I take...

K20D Northern Lights
I used B when I photographed them. It took a couple of goes to get the timing right but for me it was between 15 and 20 seconds. Set the focus (manually)to infinity, the lens to wide open, as low an ISO as you can. Do you have a remote? If so use it. With a remote you can stand next to the came...

K5 sensor stain or something else
Could it be on the back element of the lense rather that the sensor?

K5 sensor stain or something else
It definitely looks like a fibre on the sensor. Invest in an Arctic Butterfly as the dust shake feature can't clean some things out as they will just come back eventually.

RAW headroom?
I think it means that highlights can be clipped, and can not be pulled back in RAW as easily as with some cameras. The information is gone, and cannot be retrieved. Rather than allow it to clip highlights, you can dial in some negative exposure compensation, and lighten the dark areas in your RAW so...

K5 something loose inside!
K5 something loose inside! When composing a subject ready to take a picture in landscape I then change to portrait before take the picture, something inside my Pentax K5 appears to slide from one end of the camera to the other. If I reverse the scenario the same happens with something inside slidin...

K10D to K5 upgrade?
Thanks for the replies and I think I will bite the bullet and buy one.I am disabled and all the photos I take are from the car or from a reserve hide (RSPB Saltholme is just 10 mins down the road).Apart from the obvious AV ISO speed etc are there any other camera tweaks and setting you could suggest...

Any idea what I did (so that I don't do it again)?
Ok, so I wanted to have the image numbering on my new K-5 match the shutter count as closely as I could, so when I got it home, I carefully proceeded as follows: - went to 'Memory', and switched off the saving of File No. - went to 'File name', and did a reset. - went back to 'Memory', and swit...

Take a picture and put the card into your computer/reader. Change the number on the file to the whatever is reported by Photome as your actuation number and then put back into camera. It should carry on from there.
