My K10 was showing lots of dust on the censor which the dust removal system couldn't shift so I took it to APM at ...

I would have willingly paid too David and was pleasantly surprised when I was told there was no charge. :)

Pentax KX dark pictures on camera screen.
Hi, If full + on the brightnss setting doesn't bring you back to normal view then I'm afraid your camera needs a trip to the service centre.

Pentax K-30 in the office
Does anyone have any specific questions about the Pentax K-30 that they'd like answering? I really want to know more about the video capabilities, such as focus during video, internal microphone noise and the various resolutions/frame rates avaliable. Also how is the video white balance and apature...

Where's the focus point select switch on the K30? It doesn't have one, you can select the focus point by holding the middle OK button. Or to change the focus mode, you can go into the rear control panel by pressing INFO and then setting the AF Active Area.

Pentax K-30 in the office
The K5 basically offers what my K7 offers, but with the better Sony sensor. The K30 seems to offer 90% of what the K5 offers, but adds some extras like better CDAF, enhancements to the AF system, notably for me, focus peaking, which I really look forward to trying. (The review didn't mention focus p...

Yes, it's just a different way of working that you soon get used to.[quote:3496ace15f="michaelblue"]Where's the focus point select switch on the K30?

I realise this is an old thread but Really Right Stuff still make an L-plate for the K-5 and there are universal ones which fit just fine too. Thanks Gwyn - the K5 plate is on back order at the moment:cry:

Clean inside K-x viewfinder ?
I would have thought condensation from that sort of temperature change would go once the camera warmed up again. I saw the K-x has a mirror system, rather than a prism, and wondered if it was more susceptible to damage. I've only changed the focus screen on a K20 and can not remember what you can s...

How do I "lock" focus on first half-depressing the shutter button?
On my K-5, often I want to fix focus by half-pressing the shutter button, and then I want to shift the framing of the shot. If I try that currently, the camera continues to try and auto-focus. I'd prefer if focus "locked in" on the half-press. Does that make sense and is it possible?

How do I "lock" focus on first half-depressing the shutter button?
Set the switch next to the lens mount (on the left side) on AF-S(autofocus single). It presently is set to AF-C(autofocus continuous).

Want to upgrade from *istDS to K-5...
Thanks for the voice of sanity, Carl. That's pretty much confirmed what I thought. Yes indeed, there were naysayers on the MX way back when you could only get opinions from such august publications such as Amateur Photographer - but the little beauty served me faultlessly for more than 25 years unti...
