Pentax K5 & Q Cashback!
It doesn't really feel a great way to do business though, does it? Agreed - but that is a retailer's risk in business![/quote] If you return your K5 the way you have suggested someone will get your partially used K5.[/quote] The point I was making was that if you receive some goods, don't use...

K5 question re focus point selection
Hi all quick question on selection focus point on the K 5. I was reading a review of the K 5 (pitted against couple of others) tonight and they made it sound like to select focus point you had to press and hold down the OK button and then select focus point - is this the case ? With my 200 ...

K5 question re focus point selection
Mike, I dont have the K5 but I think my K7 is the same. I'm sure one of the growing army of K5 owners will correct me if I'm wrong. You dont need two hands to select a focus point, just one thumb. Once you have set the focusing mode to select, you press the OK button to change the function of ...

K5 question re focus point selection
toner_monkey is NOT wrong ;) On the K200D, you have the Fn button to access certain functionalities like drive mode, WB etc. And the fourway-controller keys are free for focus point selection during normal use. The K5 does not have the Fn button and the default of the fourway-controller keys i...

K5 question re focus point selection
I like the older way with the Fn button a bit better but as I hardly ever use anything but center focus it's not a major issue for me I totally agree with that.

K5 question re focus point selection
It's so awkward using those buttons on the BACK of the camera! I would put some sort of toggle on the front of the grip.

K5 question re focus point selection
I think Pentaxophile has a point. A wee gizmo to shift focus using your forefinger would seem obvious. Wonder why it hasn't been done either by Pentax or any of the other breeds.

I think Pentaxophile has a point. A wee gizmo to shift focus using your forefinger would seem obvious. Wonder why it hasn't been done either by Pentax or any of the other breeds. Canon were supposed to have a system where the focus point moved to where your eye was looking. I've never used anyt...

K5 question re focus point selection
I don't use the focus selection much either, but I think that's more to do with it being very awkward to change the point than it not being useful! If you want to change focus point, it's so slow to change it that by the time your done, the subject has moved. My phone has an optical trackball on the...

K5 question re focus point selection
For many years Sony DV cameras have had a Touch Screen Point to set focus to that point and the points aren't fixed they can be anywhere on the screen

K5 question re focus point selection
I cant see the point of focus points, in the little experience I've had using them they hardly ever focus where you want them to, and specifically selecting one seems pointless when you can simply focus using the centre point then recompose by either the half press method or by using the AF button.

K5 question re focus point selection
There is a fairly sensible reason to use selectable focus points, but to understand why requires a little thought: Camera lenses are designed so that they have a flat plane of focus. If you take a photo looking straight on at a brick wall, the whole brick wall will be in focus. That's fine. Ho...

K5 question re focus point selection
I use focus points and was confused how to use them on the k5. On the gx20 you select the focus point choose then using the cursor buttons select your focus point... fairly straight forward. Its the only dislike on the k5 for me. As Timothyw said above is correct explanation but its also a time i...

K5 question re focus point selection
Thats a good explanation Tim and something I'd not given any thought, next time I'm shooting wide open or with a shallow DoF I will bear it in mind.
