How low is low light?
Low light is when it's too dark to really manually focus properly, and particularly the K-5 II and IIs will carry on auto focusing quite happily. So your platform, streets lit at night, etc. No problem: K-5 IIs, 43mm f/1.9, ISO 12800, 1/60s, f/1.9

How low is low light?
Our local pub taken with the KX, focussing looks OK to me. Let me guess ... focus point was that nice bright Eagle & Child sign?

How low is low light?
It looks bright in the darkness but it's designed to illuminate the pub sign, I'm across the road on the car park, the strength of the light diminishes by 4x the distance from the camera. If the camera will focus under these conditions it will focus on a station platform or in a railway yard.

How low is low light?
Personally I would class Alan's picture as low light but it looks like the camera has front focused quite a bit judging from the snow in front of the fox (focus seems to be around the foot prints area).

How low is low light?
Awaldram, I'll have to call that a stacked deck...:wink: You may have lower overall light in your image, but you have a nice bright car to focus on. I focused on the dark car, the dark section just above the wing and wheel slightly to the right of the image. It was centre spot, focus, hold and re...

Why do Pentax lag with autofocus?
Just been out in the lovely sunshine and again found my K-30 lacking in autofocus speed. I've seen an improvement over K-r but not massive.Two ducks we were watching took off so there wasn't a massive re-focus need by my DA* 300mm. Swung round and panned but just couldn't hit the focus. My friend wi...

Why do Pentax lag with autofocus?
I was playing with my K5 today whilst my son was sledging - only using the Sigma 70-300 APO DG macro - so not an expensive item but the af was spot on - no issues at all:D Tracked my son without issue - followed a few birds as well for the hell off it and again focus locked no problem:D

Why do Pentax lag with autofocus?
It is a complicated question and will undoubtedly depend a lot on exactly what is being tracked, how large it is in the frame, which lens and camera combination are being used and, for sudden changes in subject distance, where the focus was in the first instance (e.g. were you shooting at the MFD an...

Why do Pentax lag with autofocus?
I was told by a professional wildlife photographer that when photographing birds in flight (with a plain sky background) to use ALL focus points, otherwise switch to ONE focus point-usually centre. If you think about it, it makes sense. It works for me.:) Although I do agree, Pentax do lag behin...

Why do Pentax lag with autofocus?
I'm no expert at wildlife, but have been practising with bird photography and various lenses. Where focusing is difficult I would maybe focus on the distance involved, perhaps on a tree or whatever, and then just hold that point and capture the bird at the same distance. Or maybe use manual focus...

Why do Pentax lag with autofocus?
After recently trying and failing to focus on some flying Black headed gulls in decent light, I've decided the K-5 + D*300mm just inst up to action shots. Its fine for birds like red kites and a marsh harriers which fly slower, if they are not to close, but the AF speed and tracking cant track fast...

Why do Pentax lag with autofocus?
Could, (and I'll admit that I don't know), "Catch in focus" be an option for the OP. I use this with manual lenses, will this work with AF lenses, but with camera in MF mode?
