K5 - Exposure bracketing for HDR
Thanks flat4. You've put it so much better than me! Logically I'd have expected TAv mode to fix the exposure time and aperture value, and vary the ISO. Thanks JAK. Excellent information again. I've just tried the 'delayed action' mode and that seems to work. I notice that the mirror still flap...

K5 - Exposure bracketing for HDR
...I've just tried the 'delayed action' mode and that seems to work. I notice that the mirror still flaps between shots but I guess the delay is applied after each mirror flap. Does the mirror flap between exposures in order to do another meter reading and/or to check focus? Do you know I hadn't e...

K5 - Exposure bracketing for HDR
Like Smeggypants I too am impressed at the inherant dynamic range of the sensors in these cameras. But there are very real limits to what even these sensors can capture of the everyday world. This whole question of whether to shoot bracketed exposures for creating an HDR output is surely related...

M lens and earlier, what settings ?
Most manual lenses overexpose wide open so it's hardly surprising that you can stop down to f/4 - f/5.6 and still be within an acceptable limit :shock: You need to go back to basics :wink: I've never thought of auto ISO, but I expect that might work with an 'M' lens that has had the apertur...

M lens and earlier, what settings ?
I think it must do, because it hasn't opened up the aperture. It's just a pre-set really. No problem focusing with any lens stopped down to f/5.6. With a 28mm the lens can be taped up at INF and f/8 and Av used..... everything from about 3M to INF will be in focus :shock:

M lens and earlier, what settings ?
If you look inside the springs directly under the 135mm lettering near the top of the pictures, it's very dark on the 1st. On the last it's so light you can see inside the spring indicating that it has been pulled. The DOF looks similar in each one to me only 5 links of the hanging chain in f...

[quote:3496ace15f="JAK"].... Auto ISO will not work with non A lenses. John I think this is incorrect ? I have auto iso working in TAv, Av and Tv with my M85/2. The lens stays wide open of course. Pete Set the camera dial to TAv. Turn the camera on and look at the info screen. What mode does t...

The DOF looks similar in each one to me only 5 links of the hanging chain in focus top and bottom. The original of this shot was just BLACK, but it pulled up quite easily. https://www.pentaxuser.com/photo/nuthatch-30599/large - Take your point, Algi, but there are several points on the m...

K5 Cashback May 2012
A curious idea, let's put prices up £100 so the dealers can offer £50 body only or £80 off with a lens. It's not he dealer that offers you £50 off though its a cash back deal, so the offer is with Pentax. At - £50 = £690.41, so price is lower than before price increase...

K5 "dead"?
Help! I have just removed my SD card to transfer pics to my computer - successfully - but upon re-insertion into my K5 the camera seems to be completely dead, picture-wise ( i.e. it does switch on a take a picture but I cannot look back at it, no Menu or Info etc ). Any ideas please?!

How long will your battery last.
I will need to go out one day and switch everything off and see how I get on. I am not very good at hand holding the camera as a lot of my pictures appear blurred. For the long exposures I have a 10 stop ND filter and with live view you can at least see what you are shooting and it will focus as wel...

keep the tripod. If you have AF lens try the selectable focus points. I use them occasionally but mostly use centre focus and recompose. If not using the ND you can up the ISO which may help reduce exposure times and hence shake. I seem to be at ISO800 mostly, dropping down if its bright. Fol...

How long will your battery last.
I really wish I could work out what I'm doing wrong. I hardly ever use LiveView, video even less, I chimp a bit but not excessively, have the LCD brightness turned down, and most of the settings that control the display time for various things set to the default or less. Yet, with a Pentax bat...

Continuous focus? Flash? (Power Zoom lenses? ;) ) I have instant review set to 3s auto power off 1 min rarely use live view single focus (or manual focus)

What lenses are you using could it be the Lens antishake system or constant auto focus using the power? Clearly something is wrong. Regards David

Just to clarify in the case of of the Pentax battery I am fairly certain terminal "T" is a thermistor temperature feedback terminal. Yes, based on a number of articles I've found this appears to be so. I took the Hahnel battery off charge this morning (OE Pentax Charger) and the terminal voltage...
