K3 cancel AF problem ?
As a workaround, would you achieve what you want by using the back AF button exclusively to do the focusing? Yes Chris, there is a couple of ways around the problem, I suppose it's just me being fussy and not like being told there isn't a problem when there is :x I've had the problem confirmed by...

mille19 : ;-) i wasn't talking about you ;-))))) "I still think there is a bug though, on my K5 I always have catch-in-focus on and it doesn't effect the Cancel AF button/continuous shooting" -> I agree with you but same time not ;-))) Very happy you can so work ... with c4-25 Off : rear af of...

K3 cancel AF problem ?
"There again, does that me I can now use the catch-in-focus with my DA 100mm macro, on my K5 the catch-in-focus doesn't work with AF lenses even if you had AF turned off" I agree, on k5 it works with lenses that have a AF Off button or manuel lenses ... On k3 i didn't check with others ... but...

CIF issue. Look here; Also, here for further information (includes link back to link above); Never tried CIF, so no idea whether this will work, and in any event the first link is back to a 2010/K7 post, but...:D

K3 cancel AF problem ?
I've had another reply (see below) from the Pentax/Ricoh support team they've acknowledged there's a problem so fingers crossed for next firmware update Dear Mr. Miller, Thank you for your enquiry. I finally found out why I was not able to recreate this issue. This only happens if the cat...

K3 cancel AF problem ?
Mine is a related problem to above (?) K-3 continuous shooting mode did not work after short time after I went into the menu trying to tweak settings and then I went on vacation and walking around with a K-3 for several days and let it go. But it did work in full manual mode. Someone's posted dir...

K-3 glowing review
I have high hopes for the 120ish-360ish zoom, hopefully a Dc motor with a bit of zip. Wonder if they will just HD the DA*s or re design them all, a quicker motor would be good and maybe an in body focus limiter like the Sony A99?

K-3 glowing review
Where these reviews are saying that it has fast AF, is that using the internal body screw drive focus? I seem to recall that's a lot faster now on the K3? And are the lens internal sdm type motors the same speed on the k3? That kind of makes sense I guess. Could someone clear that up pleas...

K-3 glowing review
Screwdrive is faster but SDM is the same but bites better IMO (It locks and holds focus with more confidence).

K-3 glowing review
Right, so screw drive lenses should benefit from the k3s faster internal screw system, but lenses with their own internal motors are going to be limited to about the same focusing speed as before? Yip! They do seem to aquire and hold focus better, just not quicker, my 16-50 still does the little dou...

X5 Freeze problem
Thank you all for your advice - I have decided not to send the camera back but as a computer user, I realise that cameras like computers sometimes get themselves into a freeze state!

Shake reduction and tripods
Take a look at this I would take anything that article says with a big pinch of salt, given that it says this: If you shoot with a camera that features in-camera IS ... and plan on using a third-party lens that also features an IS system, turn off the camera’s IS system and rely on the lens’s...

Shake reduction and tripods
In this instance, the avoidance of misinformation I would take as following the instructions. If in doubt, read the instruction book. Sure. But the instruction books (K-5 and before, I don't know about more recent ones) do not say that having SR on causes shake. That's just people's interpreta...

Focussing in Live View
Starting to get into my recently purchased K5 after upgrading from K10D. So far so good! One thing that seems to be strange is when using the camera in Live View mode the focussing seems to be really wired. With a Pentax 18-250 zoom it is reasonably quick in 'normal' TTL mode but when you switch ...

Focussing in Live View
To an extent what you describe is 'normal'. The contrast-detect AF system in live view is by design slower than the system used during viewfinder operation. It will be worse on flat surfaces or areas of the same tones. Try moving the square around using the 4-way controller first and place it ov...

Another good review for the K-3
There's not a lot not to like about the K-3. There do seem to be some differing opinions about the AF though. I agree with this one that it's fast, but AP seem to think it's not slow but not that fast. However, they were trying it with generally slower lenses. I think also it may well depend on t...
