TCSTV Review of the KP
The subject of this thread is a review of the KP, so a good idea to get back to that I think.

TCSTV Review of the KP
Going back to the original review, on the same site is a comparison of unmodified PDF images taken by one camera from each manufacturer (Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Sony, Olympus, Pentax K70) all at factory neutral settings, plus iPhone. In a blind test and purely subjectively the K70 came last, however the...

K1: the good and the bad.
I took the K1 in to the studio today for the first time, in one respect it's absolutely awsome but in another it's absolutely frustrating. This shot the was taken while setting the lights, as you can see it's severely underexposed: Gave it a wee tweak in LR2015: and this is what ithe K1 ...

K1: the good and the bad.
Surprised that this has come up, simply because in a studio environment I ,and not the camera, would always choose the focus point

Surprised that this has come up, simply because in a studio environment I ,and not the camera, would always choose the focus point That's what I do too but I alway refocus between every shot, if the subject moves either sideways or back to front that can make the difference between in/out of focus. ...

Cameras work in different ways, so it might be possible that different techniques are necessary. For example, the Pentaxes have no difficulty focusing on say a single large grass against a background of water, whereas another marque body steadfastedly refused to do so. Therefore for the other cam...

K1: the good and the bad.
Yes this is odd. On K5 and K3 the focus point glows red, on the K1 it is merely a black square. Very difficult in poor light. I was photographing some dark skinned children in a fairly poorly lit room the other day and it was hard to see the focus point. Thank you Philip, I was begining to think it ...

K1: the good and the bad.
I choose a focus point which will allow me to focus on the eye, and still keep the model framed how I like. So I always know which focus point I am using. Thought everyone would do similar, which is why I didn't understand why it would be a problem. Like everything else, people have their own techni...

Just for fun here is one of the reject shots of the day which I like because it sums up the perils of working with kids. Ryan bored to tears and longing to get back to his football game while Nicole dribbles down her jaw. :D

Moon with pixel shift resolution
I dont think it is in focus. For the moon i would suggest you try again but use manual focus, in live view with 100% view. You may need to turn down the lcd brightness setting (fx2 button). Also enable electroninic shutter to reduce any shake. Here is the moon with my k1 and DA* 300mm (ignore the...

Setting the metering mode to spot works on my camera, even if I'm using full manual mode for my actual shot. ...

Updates for our system cameras
My Xt-10 is 380g and the XPro 2 480g ( not that I own one) whilst my K3 is 715g, so there is a significant difference. At the moment I use my XT10 with legacy lenses via adapters and it is a joy to carry it a round but as we all know, no camera system is perfect and Fuji have there own problems, ...

Updates for our system cameras
In terms of long term support it's hard to imagine any manufacturer who has been more supportive than Pentax, surely? The K mount has served brilliantly for 50 years and lenses from all that period can still be used without adapters or any inconvenience. We can even use, with some reduction in conve...
