Changing lenses
If you have a lens on the camera that extends either while focusing or zooming, air and dust is sucked into the body. So not changing lenses while outside to prevent dust inside is a bit of a waste of time. I've changed lenses as and when needed, with the body facing down and my back to the wind,...

Pentax k-1 Backscreen Issue
That sounds like one unlucky event. It is very surprising that the back screen is not worth replacing but then perhaps it depends on whether the water entered the back panel or got into the camera itself and so stopped the screen working. I have used my Pentax gear in all sorts of weather with no ...

Pentax k-1 Backscreen Issue
Definitely get it back, why do they want to keep it - for spares?

Pentax k-1 Backscreen Issue
as someone said before put it somewhere to dry out properly, rain got in behind mine on K511s but it did not take it out just made it look a bit weird . left it over a radiator and some gentle hair dryer treatment and it came back ok apart from some dead pixels over the battery indicator.

Pentax k-1 Backscreen Issue
Thank you all for the Replies. That's the amount that JPSERVICE SOLUTIONS wanted for a replacement camera: £1,491.60. I bought the camera three months ago for £1,599. So I asked them to send it back. By the way, I also contacted Pentax UK for them to look into the case. They gave me a Case Nu...

Pentax k-1 Backscreen Issue
Absolutely, gosh, if I ever got a K1 I think I would be so careful and worried about it that I wouldn't ever take it out of the camera bag, perhaps just occasionally to place it on a very soft bed to have a look at it and perhaps give a gentle wipe with a non abrasive cloth on the body surface. :wi...

Pentax k-1 Backscreen Issue
Coming back to the initial question: How functional is the sealing on the K-1? Pentax talk about 87 sealing points. But if this cannot resist what the lens (that is even older) stands how effective is such a sealing? Pentax always highlight the camera as being 'Dustproof' and 'weather-resistant...

Pentax k-1 Backscreen Issue
So I do not know what kind of "sustained pressure" the camera would have been under at max 20cm. That's 8" of water on top of your camera, doesn't sound a lot does it! Now go and fill a milk bottle with 200mm of water and rest it on the back of your hand - now you get an idea of the "pressure" a di...

Pentax k-1 Backscreen Issue
To be honest I reckon the camera's weather sealing has done you proud as you are still able to take photos with the camera. It doesn't sound as if it is totally bricked. I'm wondering if in your accident the rear screen got bumped somehow, it might be just a broken wire or dislodged connector but ...

Pentax k-1 Backscreen Issue
Even when I try to get us to focus on the point, it looks like we will still get some distraction here. It is the Backscreen that is affected and therefore questioning the effectiveness of the sealing of the camera would be, in common sense, redirected to this part of the camera. Regards,

Pentax K1 Live view - how to change focus point
Hi all. Apologies if this question has been posted before but I couldn't find the topic on searching the forum. My question is how can I change the focal point during live view? Currently it is set at the centre and I have not found any way of moving it to another position. Your help would be gr...

Pentax K1 Live view - how to change focus point
Thanks Barrie. It worked but it wasn't very straight forward. I first had to press the 'AF Mode' button on the side which gave me various choices, which I selected by turning the rear wheel. Once selected that way, I then pressed the little button above the 4 way controller and was then able to mov...

Pentax K1 Live view - how to change focus point
I think both live view and view finder focus selection points are set by the AF mode i.e. if you have spot focus selected it's the same for live view as for in the viewfinder.

I think both live view and view finder focus selection points are set by the AF mode i.e. if you have spot focus selected it's the same for live view as for in the viewfinder. No, just checked. Even if you have 'focus point select' turned on, once you go into LV, you have to make the choice again.
