Former Leica M user's first impressions of a Pentax K5
Surely if the camera is on af-s and you auto focus with the shutter release then if you keep the shutter release pressed you can quick shift all you want? Then full press for the shot. We're probably getting a bit too complicated for the OP now, but I also have catch-in-focus set, so if you focus an...

HD video recording with no sound
Hi. I mean there is no sound when I play back on the camera. If mic function is this poor, this video function is not usable. I can use sound track pro or imovie. Thanks for your reply.

HD video recording with no sound
If the video recording aspect is similar to the K-r (and I believe it is), whilst the internal mono mic isn't great it does an OK job of recording audio to the point you should be able to at least hear the recorded audio. Have you tried to play the clip back on a computer? At least the K-5 has optio...

Cheapest K-5 out there?
I hope anybody buying the cheapest they can find doesn't come back on here saying that the retailer doesn't want to know about these XYZ faults what should I do? :shock: Buy from a Pentax Pro Dealer like SRS..... Service comes 1st :mrgreen:

remote or cable release for K5
Try that well-known Guernsey emporium. Wireless remote, or cable remote, each for under a tenner just a few weeks back - both work fine. Tried their el-cheepo IR remote - rude word. That's the way the biscuit breaks! Geoff

What on earth is going on here?
I always bang on about this but if you are looking for advice you really must leave the EXIF data intact. Apols, I've only just moved over to a new computer, and I'd forgotten to set 'save for web and devices' to include the Exif. This is what PhotoMe exports: Camera: PENTAX K-5 Lens: Tamron ...

Pentax K-R,K-X or Nikon D5000?
I suppose the fact that our company deals in the Chinese sector is part of the reason why I'm loathe to buying from there - no real recourse for faulty goods, you see. It's different if I'm actually over there on business - I'm then able to make an informed decision about my purchases, as opposed to...

kr focusing
Hi, you might remember I posted on here a while ago about the kr front focusing, well I did send that back and, not being able to afford the k5 decided to give something else a try. I bought a canon 550d yesterday and that is front focusing even worse than the kr! and not just in tungsten light eith...

kr focusing
Hi Jacqui I have the k-r and have never had any problems with ff using kit 18-55 or da 50-200 even in mixed lighting. The only lens ive had a problem with in regard to ff/bf is the fa 50mm 1.7. Despite spending ages with it and playing with focus adjustment have resigned myself to selling as I get b...

kr focusing
Give the K-r another chance whilst prices are still good. If you get a fault, get it seen to under warranty or if the time scale is short enough get it exchanged. Buy from SRS to ensure good after sales attention. Another thing to beware of is expecting to see an error. I'm not saying you woul...

kr focusing
Hi, thanks for your replies, Yes I think I will give it another try, Ive always preferred pentax cameras so I think its worth another try. Yes I agree John about being over anxious about a fault, I never used to do focus checks or anything, but after buying these cameras with problems you tend to lo...

kr focusing
When I got my K5, the next weekend I set up a focusing test chart. Adjusted my 3 most used lenses. All required adjusting. Went had a cup of coffe. When I came back I checked and adjusted again. All three required adjusting again. Back to zero :oops:

kr focusing
Front/Back focussing is not uncommon. as we now have the ability to look closer at our pictures we are more aware of than in the days of film. take a look at this article it may help.

kr focusing
Hi everyone, thanks for your replies, and the link Steve :) I did get the kr yesterday, it was cheaper than the canon too £449 for twin lens kit so I had to make up the money by choosing some more stuff, (because it was on finance) so I now have a kindle which I have wanted for ages too! :D Although...

Best Pentax DLSR and lenses for travel/street/reportage.
I'd like to buy a new (D)SLR as i'm moving from film to digital. I've sold almost all of my film gear, except for my LX (open to sensible offers) and a few lenses and i'm looking for a digital replacement. What do I want to use it for? I want to use it like a rangefinder eg Leica M9, with a coup...

Supplementing my K-7 in low light; K-r or K-x?
I've just done what you're contemplating and I am amazed how much better the Kx is at high ISO than the K7! I have no experience of the Kr but I did try the K5 at 'Focus on Imaging' last year.....WOW! I don't think you'll be disappointed if you go for the Kx, I did see a Kr kit on e - bay for £3...
