catch in focus. How do you do it?
Its crap! Not impressed at all. What about remote triggers that you see attached to the top of some cameras? Are they compatible with Pentax bodies? This is the sort of thing that I would need to get for far off work. The catch in focus setting just doesnt cut the mustard.

Remote triggers are compatible - I have an 'Aputure' one bought from Amazon for £20. It is a superb bit of kit, works reliably up to 120 meters away. Highly recommended. Regards David

catch in focus. How do you do it?
I've experimented...in the past.. given issues like battery life and reliability I really only found two effective uses for snap in focus... one macro shooting if you got a rail or sliding plate on your tripod..... macro shooting if you're using flash..... the only other real use was when me a...

catch in focus. How do you do it?
Works a treat for macro, I sometimes use a 50mm f1.7 on tubes and almost always use CIF. I don't think it would be so good for birds unless they were flying across rather than towards. However so great for larger targets.

catch in focus. How do you do it?
I had some good results using a Tamron 500mm mirror lens and CIF, on motorsport subjects with the vehicles coming almost directly towards me. Better results than I get with trying to use autofocus in that scenario. Kx, though, not K5.

catch in focus. How do you do it?
You have to set Catch in focus to on in the camera menu first,Also if using non autofocus lenses you need to change the aperture ring setting to Permitted. As stated in other replies you need to have a manual lens or an auto lens with manual switch. The camera set to AFS,(The camera will continue...

catch in focus. How do you do it?
I think catch in focus can work quite well, even for birds. I tried it for the first time last week on the K-5 and caught this. I know the composition isn't great and I need to stop down more to increase depth of field, but it's a first attempt. I left the camera on burst mode for an hou...

I got Moire
The odd thing for me is the colouration on the curved edge of the camera body to the bottom right of the 50% JPEG. This is clearly blurred and out of focus, yet it also suffers from the coloured pattening. This suggests it can't be avoided by stopping down to dull the sharpness.

I'm pretty sure it's aliasing. If it's chroma noise at ISO80 the camera's going back!

K5 Auto ISO setting in User 1,2,3,4,&5.
Is that the one where you press the ISO and the green button together- takes you back to Auto ISO?

K5 Auto ISO setting in User 1,2,3,4,&5.
In User 1 it shows Auto ISO 100--12800 and when I go to 3 ISO AUTO setting I can not go below 100 or above 12800. In User 2 it shows AUTO ISO 80--51200 and when I go to 3 ISO AUTO setting it shows 80--51200 all as I want it. In User 3 it is as in User 2 as I want it. In User 4 it is as in U...

K5 battery charger. LED flashing
I've a three-month-old K-5ii, with a three-month-old genuine battery. Yesterday morning I put the battery on charge and the LED started blinking instead of lighting constantly. I tried removing and reinserting it, with the same result each time. The manual tells me it means the battery needs t...

A question for K30 users
Hey peeps, it's been quite a while since I last posted in this forum. But recently a question has sprung my mind. After a few very happy years with the Kx, it decided to die on me with a faulty mainboard; costly and time consuming to fix so I'm thinking of replacing it with the K30. I'm not a pro...

A question for K30 users
I don't think you can do what you want exactly, the closest I can find is AV mode. The back dial adjusts aperture, the front dial does ISO after you've pressed the ISO button. If you haven't pressed the ISO button, the front dial does nothing. The ISO is shown in the VF but it also turns the scree...

Eye piece blanking
I asked a similar question a while back - here's a link to the resulting discussions One question though - further up it was said that in LV you would still need the viewfinder covered. Is it not the case that that in LV mode the viewfinder is blanked out (by the back of the mirror ?) - it go...
