Birds in flight shots using K-50 and Tamron 70-300mm f4-5.6 lens.
And another 'good luck' wish from me ! Hope the treatment goes well and you are back at the camera controls as soon as possible. One extra point that may be helpful .... a few of the recent photos you've shown are overexposed, in my opinion. This is just the result of the particular way the mete...

Birds in flight shots using K-50 and Tamron 70-300mm f4-5.6 lens.
ISO 1250, 1/200, f11, @300mm. ISO 1600, 1/1600, f11, @240mm. I hope that there are two pictures above. I made a separate post because I've already made a mess of the first. These shots were taken earlier this morning, using the TAV mode. I found it a little easier to manipulate using t...

K-30 Aperture failure- Pentax step up to the plate
My K30 failed with the aperture motor problem last month - about 6 weeks outside my 2 year warranty that I received from Clifton Cameras who are a Pentax Pro dealer. After a sympathetic phone call to Clifton Cameras, I sent it back to them at my expense, pointing out that this was a known problem an...

K-30 Aperture failure- Pentax step up to the plate
Great result. Since getting my K30 repaired it's been back to its excellent self! Shame this problem has marred Pentax and the K30 which apart from that has been a brilliant camera.

Pentax K70
But it does mean you can't use the camera for the time it takes to charge via USB, which is usually much longer than charging a battery via AC charger. Charging via solar would be awfully slow and only possible by day which is likely when you need the camera for photography. Good sales pitch, but...

Pentax K70
My view to that is focussing is best done by the photographer, not the camera. What's the use of a photo of a pin sharp branch when the bird you want to photograph is sitting on a different one?! Any AF system is a compromise whatever the camera brand and requires the photographer to make critical...

Pentax K70
Interesting comment from JAK.. I never had any AF problems with the K-50. I could certainly focus on a bird among branches without the camera deciding otherwise. by , on Flickr by , on Flickr by , on Flickr

Interesting comment from JAK.. I never had any AF problems with the K-50. I could certainly focus on a bird among branches without the camera deciding otherwise. Looking back I've had similar shots over the years with the K-30 and K-S1 also. Personally my biggest issue with AF has been around...

Pentax K70
The water drops where the birds were do seem to be in focus so its down to the shutter lag between pressing the button and the shutter firing. It had been in focus a moment earlier! This has always been the Achilles heel with all SLRs. Lifting the mirror and firing the shutter isn't instantaneous...

Pentax K70
Just to add, the trailing bird is more in focus than the one in front and from your original image it might sharpen up quite well.

Disappearing rear screen information, has anyone had this problem?
You're right to check that the other lens works or not, but it will only take a moment to find out. F-- indicates that the camera can't read the lens aperture. One reason is poor contact, but the simpler reason can be a lens with an aperture ring where the ring is not set to "A". If the Tamron ha...

K5IIs and K3 Write speed.
I'm using the K5IIs & DA300 as my main combo and the K30 with the Sigma 70-300 as "back up" when shorter focal length is required or when the K5IIs is refusing to fire until it has finished processing data. I have checked the most recent sd card reviews and tried some cards to get the best out of th...

K10D OMINOUS FEEL AND SOUND OF HEAVY OBJECT MOVEMENT INSIDE BODY
Thank you both Unfortunately the thunk occurs when switched off and when switched on and with SR on and off. I noticed it the first time I tilted the camera from landscape to portrait while taking pictures. Testing it again now it is doing it when tilted on its axis in the same plane in use. I...

K3 Focusing
I have read that the K3 has faster and more accurate focusing than the K5. I have also read that this is dependent to some degree on which lenses are used. Most of mine are the screw type. Just how much better is focusing in general and focus tracking in particular with the K3 as compared with th...

K3 Focusing
I've had a K-5 previously and still own a K-5iis and a K-3, with a variety of lenses both screw drive and in lens motors. Here are my thoughts: In order of focus speed and accuracy, K-3 is best, then K-5iis, then K-5 K-3 is only faster with screw drive lenses, with in lens motors the speed is...

K3 Focusing
Thanks for that David, any improvement in speed and accuracy is welcome. My specialist subject is trains and I have been pre-focussing at a point on the track and waiting up the loco gets there which works well. However, if there is particularly good exhaust I may want to re frame and focus at the ...
