Kx and Star Photography
Merge the exposures, set this as a layer over any one of them, mask out the blurred stars from the combined exposure to reveal the original non blurred stars below. Then go back and fix the gaps between exposures. And then realise that you probably could have just drawn the resulting arc ove...

Post-Capture Image Adjustments in Recording Mode
I assume that most people, like me, now choose digital preview over the alternative of depth of field preview (both activated with a right turn on the on/off switch ??) No, my workflow is quite different. I don't use the digital preview at all, opting instead to take an actual shot and review it....

K10d Operational problem?
Hello all, I'm hoping you good people can help me; I have this K10d which takes good imges, my problem is, that when I raise the built in flash it seems to deactivate the "half press" functions and auto focus (and just about everything else) and no matter what setting I have the camera dial set to,...

K10d Operational problem?
Thanks again folks, for your suggestions/advice, here is my current "status"; I should say at this stage (and you'll probably say it serves me right!), that I bought this camera on ebay.................I know, I know, but I thought at just over a ton, it was a decent upgrade to my K100d, which I ...

K10d Operational problem?
Okay, final note; I have returned the camera and received a full refund; there were other, none technical issues with the camera, and when I did get to compare image quality, with that of my K100d, there was a marked lack of "sharpness" to the K10 images. That despite gradually "maxing" the in ca...

My new Pentax K-S2...
Stu62... yes of course.... I'm having a slow brain day. I will put the card in my K5 ii and yes I'll buy a reader as a back up.

How do I do time lapse K5ii
Go into recording menu (2) and choose the "interval shooting'' item. Here you choose the number of photos and time interval between them. When ready scroll up to ' start shooting'' and press ok. The camera will fire the shots as per whatever settings you had made prior to activating interval sho...

How do I do time lapse K5ii
Having just shot a timelapse of the Solar Eclipse using the "interval shooting" feature of my K5, here are my time-lapse tips (not astrophotography related): - Use manual exposure and expose for antipated extremes of exposure. - Use manual focus. - Set manual white balance (I always forget this...

K-S2 & MX-1
Yes I've seen the differences as cons thing quite a bit. There are cheaper cameras that shoot more fps than the K-3, but I doubt that's listed as a con on the K-3. The top screen is something I find really amusing now, in that I find it quite unnecessary, given there is a much larger screen on t...

K-S2 & MX-1
The K500 has gone and is not succeeded because its target user market does not really exist any more. They are now either smartphone shooters or will be attracted to the K-S range. I can't agree with that. The only difference between the K-50 and K-500 is lack of weather sealing and no illuminated...

K-S2 & MX-1
The biggest clunk and bump on mine is the noisy autofocus! - that aspect of the new kit lens really appeals to me. A camera at its heart is an image capture device. Pinhole cameras didn't make any noise and you didn't look through them. All cameras capture light, and make a saved image out of...

K-S2 & MX-1
You're saying it has ' mechanical' sensor shake reduction in video? ?? Pentax might be getting at least one more customer soon!:D Can we get this verified folks, if so it signifies an excellent step back !

K-S2 & MX-1
hmm i am not an expert, all i can say is that the camera was on a tripod so static, but the image was moving when filming, following my movement, i've used stabilisation for image in softwares and i can tell you that this is much more efficient - don't know how that would be a step back?! i have n...

K-S2 & MX-1
Camera store review video comments are completely fair, and pentax continues to offer the same generic video mode they've had since the K-30. Poor bit rates, no focus peaking during video which is when you need it most, no 60fps in 1080p mode, no real stabilisation.

K-S2 & MX-1
... pentax continues to offer the same generic video mode they've had since the K-30.. There seems to be improvement. The K-S2 has far less aliasing (almost zero jaggies) than the K-01/K-50 in this example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46S7yRGvu2I On the whole that does look quite a bit better....

pixel-shifting
Actually, that's an interesting patent... shows that Olympus must've licensed the patent for their cameras using exactly that technology. As a side point, I'm coming to the conclusion that the MX-1 is largely Olympus - the tilt screen mechanism is identical, and the optics appear the same. It may...

pixel-shifting
It's a long weekend here in WA due to Anzac Day. So yesterday I was pixel shifting. A total shift of around 700Km between home, Margaret River & Leeuwin Lighthouse. It looks like the technique works as I'm pleased with the results. I will be shifting them again today up to the Pinnacles and b...

Initial thought on new K3
I admire your lateral approach. The OP complains that the camera is too heavy, so you suggest making it even heavier. It's perhaps a good thing that you are not a captain on a Philipine ferry. "Sir, we have 400 passengers on board, and the ferry is only licensed for 180." "Good point, No. ...

Initial thought on new K3
As far as stability goes then then the benefit stems from the increased points of contact that the larger surface area provides ... More skin to camera contact equals more movement feedback, and higher tactile response ... It enhances the man-machine interface by deepening the physical relationshi...
