Banding
Its very strange .. If I view the file with Faststone I see the banding but load it into lightroom and there is none. Edit the file and save as a jpeg .. view with Faststone and it's back. :roll:

Local stockists of Pentax?
Perhaps someone could usefully drop a line to the website and tell them that there are some things that need attantion and what, specifically, these are. IMHO that would be useful and constructive. If the Pentax PR lady is still viewing - and was pleased to see she posted here again today - I feel s...

Local stockists of Pentax?
I was in the local PC World/Currys today, and they had a Pentax K-r on display, and that's about the only thing Pentax I've seen locally in recent weeks. Even some of the local camera shops, which advertise Pentax stuff as being 'in stock' on their websites don't actually have any at all when you go...

Local stockists of Pentax?
Apologise if this has been posted elsewhere, but this is Ned Bunnel talking about Pentax's strategy for getting Pentax gear into brick and mortar shops in the USA. Bottom line, Pentax absolutely want to get their gear into bricks and mortar stores, but this will require slightly higher pricing (poli...

Local stockists of Pentax?
Interesting thread this. One thing I do know (knowing the Manager at Jacobs in Manchester). They had a nice stock of Pentax lenses on display. Not the full range, but some nice kit - 55DA*, 200DA*, 17-70DA, 300DA* and various bodies. However, when Focus was on at the NEC, Jacobs themselves had to p...

Local stockists of Pentax?
When I bought my K-x 2yrs ago, I had a look on Pentax website and found that there was a Pro-Centre at Bourne in Lincs. When ringing them for a price for camera with a 55-300 he said that he would match WEX price and chuck in a card and batteries. So living equal distance from both thought what the ...

(Hyper Program) Mode - P
Program Mode on my KR remembers any changes you make to settings when you turn off then on again such as ISO or AF and metering settings. Otherwise it is automatic. Full auto AUTOPICT on my KR forgets any changes on restart you make so perhaps makes a good panic setting. I personally have my c...

(Hyper Program) Mode - P
I was taught in film days to always preset your camera to improve your chances in a hurry. This of course also meant setting focus to about 20 feet back then I still do I've worked out what changes when I twiddle the manual controls, but still don't see the advantage over other modes. Or is it...

(Hyper Program) Mode - P
If your using the K10D Bernard I would forget the previous three replies, TAv relies on either very good light or good ISO performance, I've only used this mode since getting the K5. Stick to trying Hyper Program, it was my preferred mode until they made the buttons programmable, it's a fast easy...

(Hyper Program) Mode - P
... but on the green mode when it's packed in the top of my rucksack. That way it's generally ready for something if I have get it out quickly and the second shot can be done with a bit more thought. P mode with program line set to high speed might be the better option; that way you can be more su...

(Hyper Program) Mode - P
Many thanks to thread starter and the contributors, I have used Program mode often since I bought my K5 five months ago, without fully understanding it and its relationship with the green button. But now, finally, I "get it", and I agree that it is exceptionally useful. I use it most of the time,...

(Hyper Program) Mode - P
PS I admire people that can put the camera back to a default setting after a bit of use. I often end up with ISO 3200 or 6400 when I grab the camera for a quick shot :( I set the camera options to restore everything to my defaults when I turn the camera off, i.e., ISO to 200, no bracketing, no expo...

(Hyper Program) Mode - P
By green mode I for one was refering to the option on the rotary mode dial. The green button on the upper back/right of the camera is as yet another ongoing mystery which seems to do something sometimes, but not others. Does it need setting up or something? Bernard

(Hyper Program) Mode - P
Since replacing the DS2 with a twin dial K10, Hyperprogram (P mode) with manual ISO control has been my preferred mode of operation through subsequent K mounts, with occasional dips into manual and (on the K5) TAv. It's pretty intuitive and the thing I miss most when using other cameras where I hav...

K5 - Exposure bracketing for HDR
JAK, sorry if I didn't make it clear. I was using exposure bracketing (not the in-built HDR). Thank you, your suggestion of using Av mode works. I had wondered if the exposure compensation behaviour varied with mode. Apologies for being too lazy to experiment before my original posting. A note in...
