K5 focussing issues spoiled the day.
I too have found that if the lens I amusing (usually Pentax 50-300 or Sigma 150-500) loses focus it's impossible to regain it quickly. What I usually do is quickly refocus on a terrestrial object such as maybe a very distant tree or some other high-contrast distant object. I can then regain the ai...

K5 focussing issues spoiled the day.
The K-30's Expanded Area AF definitely works in AF-C but I haven't yet had the chance to try it for real at an airshow. It should help to not lose focus when the target briefly moves off the AF point. The K5II has this also. If it isn't up to the task then the best method I reckon would be to u...

WTB: DSLR for a novice!
I had a K-x and the lack of indication of the focus is annoying. The K-r fixes that. Both have a good sensor. I'd avoid the K-m, that is the most dated of the three and sensor-wise of a lesser quality. I do agree with the K10 recommendation if you have enough light because that sensor needs light to...

WTB: DSLR for a novice!
I recently bought a k-x on eBay with twin kit lens for £200 and I love it, they seem to go for fairly decent prices! It's easy to use but I agree does sometimes take a while to focus but its easy to learn to use. I think the lack of ability in low light put me off the k10, I also wanted video and h...

SD XC card
i don't have a card slot on this PC (that's why i had to use my son's laptop - it read the card okay, which suggests the card is okay). I always just hook the camera up direct. if i put my old Sandisk 4GB card back in the K5 the PC reads that okay. The 64GB card is a

K5ii focus selection and continuous shooting
On my k5ii when in selection focus mode I would like to shoot continuous. However sometimes when I choose the directional menu button which allows me to access the continuous shooting hi/low mode it just moves the focus selection points around. Can someone help or is the continuous shooting mode o...

K5ii focus selection and continuous shooting
Press and hold the OK button for a second or 2 to enter the direct key menus, a quick double click of the OK button will return the keys to the focus point selection mode.

K5 in Pc mode
I agree with Gamka's suggestion, Malcolm. Hook the camera back up to the pc, then click the SAFELY REMOVE HARDWARE tab (you'll find this near your clock on the bottom-right of your screen).

K5 - Exposure bracketing with contant aperture...again
I think you've put you theory into practice very well - these don't shout 'HDR' to me. The air museum shows a nicely expanded visible DR - the detailing on the surfaces looks natural I think. Your camera JPEG of the church has a muddy green cast which has been balanced in the HDR version, alth...

K-30 ta buy or not ta buy
As a long time Nikon user [from the D70 to D300s] I had a D7000 for a while but ultimately preferred the K-5 and sold it. For me, the only real advantage with the Nikon for long range stuff is the availability of fast and fast focussing lenses. Been out with my K-30 and 55-300mm today and certainly ...

K-30 ta buy or not ta buy
The k5 is nicer looking, and has more external controls. But testing the two side by side, the k30 af feels quicker, especially in live view. The lcd seems slightly better and live view was much better. And focus peaking is handy for manual focus. I also preferred the grip. Image quality seems a was...

K-30 ta buy or not ta buy
I had a K7 (same body spec as the K5) and moved to a K30, the only body control I miss is the metering mode switch (spot, centre weight, matrix). I don't miss the top LCD like I thought I would, the only other button missing from a K30 is the focus mode and I use centre focus point 90% of the time...

K-30 ta buy or not ta buy
I used to own the K5 and I sold it to get the K30. The AF of the K30 is much faster then the K5 which tends to hunt in low light. The K30's AF was quicker to focus and its output is sharper.

I've not used a K-5 but I've seen a lot of comments that AF-C wasn't too brilliant. The K-30's Expanded Area AF actually works quite well with AF-C and the 11-AF point option. If you have an AF lock on say the centre AF point and the target briefly slips out of that AF sensor's area, then if a...
