Any idea what I did (so that I don't do it again)?
It's an interesting point - what the camera should do if it encounters a file already on the card that clashes with the numbering it expects to use... I suspect there's some logic going on inside! At a guess, I suspect that if there's more than a 5000 count difference between what's on the card a...

Awww... You guys are truly inspirational. I'll try a couple of things over coffee in the morning and report back.

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. It did indeed. I then put another card in, with image numbers lower than the o...

Stop-down metering on the K-5
It is a FACT that the K-5 no longer recognises 'A' Series lenses and you have to manually input the focal length for SR in the same way as you do for M42 and 'M' lenses :shock: PhotoMe doesn't seem to be able to find the name for the lens either. The K10D doesn't recognise the focal length of A-seri...

Stop-down metering on the K-5
The strange thing is that the camera (K20D read by PhotoMe) already has all this info, including the lens name, min. f stop, how many f stops etc. Manual focus A-series lenses? Are you sure???? I'd have thought that the old MF A lenses were all made long before EXIF information even existed, so ...

Stop-down metering on the K-5
This page is quite interesting. It has a lot of EXIF decode information. In particular, the . Note that the old A-series manual focus lenses ('2 0 x') are not differentiated. So I'd like a bit more information about how your lens decode was actually done. Incidentally, PhotoMe has...

Stop-down metering on the K-5
I stopped using the M 135mm f3.5 in the 1970's partly because of the f/3.5 aperture, but mainly because of it's poor close focus distance. I had previously used a Soligor 135mm f/2.8 on the Spotmatic which was sharp, but of low contrast. I still have the M 135mm, but I moved over first to a Su...

Stop-down metering on the K-5
I don't see the problem if the stop-down metering is a bit out. Just look at the histogram and adjust the shutter speed or aperture. The exif data for the lens on the other hand would be nice to have. The SR setting is the only clue to what lens was used. If you manage to work out how to get t...

Stop-down metering on the K-5
I don't see the problem if the stop-down metering is a bit out. Just look at the histogram and adjust the shutter speed or aperture. Of course, if you have the time to repeat the shot. This was always the case. On the K10D it's not a bit out, though, it's miles out, especially at small apertures....

Shake reduction and focal length
But surely the SR requires a focal length input only to calculate the approx magnification and hence the shake? This would be more with extension tubes, teleconverters etc so why isn't more SR needed in the algorithm calculation when they are added? For teleconverters, yes, more SR is needed, since...

K5 - all rear buttons/LCD freezing after shot
My K-7 does a similar thing if I have all the corrections on in the menu. Lateral CA and Lens correction seem to take a while to complete. Try setting your camera back to default to check.

K5 - all rear buttons/LCD freezing after shot
Mine froze completely whilst on holiday last month, LCD and back screen illuminated, but nothing responding. Had to pull the battery out to get it back working. Last week exactly the same thing happened again, twice within half an hour of each other :evil: There were no common traits, all rand...

Error Message on LCD Screen
I assumed the 'F---' flashing means, that the camera doesn't know what aperture is set. Normally the display would highlight the selected aperture by displaying the f-number. With no communication between the camera and the lens (as the lens is either old/manual or the contacts are not functioning) ...

k-r remote flash
Hi - so, have been using a Fujifilm s7000 for a while now and have decided to up my game and get a DSLR. I had an ME-Super back in the day, so would really like to purchase Pentax and keep away from the The Big Two. Have flipped between k-5 and k-r, SO many times, but think I'll get the k-r, build o...

Pentax istD Problem
Thanks for the quick reply. I can still use the camera (auto focus works, etc.) with or without the card inserted. I had thought it would be an issue with the card (or slot) but found it strange that the menu functions were unavailable too.

Low light 'catch in focus'
Am I right in thinking that 'catch in focus' will not work in low light? I presume that the af assist lamp doesn't work with manual lenses:?: Regards Chris:D
