K-5ii - Live View and Manual Focus
Well I'll be hornswoggled! The INFO button! Thanks very much for that! I discovered the use of the INFO button last year for some completely different feature (that I've never used since, so I'd forgotten about). Like most camera manuals they're a heck of a read and I'd found an alternative pdf v...

K-5ii - Live View and Manual Focus
I learned a new word today Geoff ! Hornswoggled ! Keep them coming. Using LV with manual focus is a fantastic tool when you zoom at 100%. It beats all the digital focus tools the camera offers in my opinion. Especially useful for those of us who use the old manual focus lenses.

K-5ii - Live View and Manual Focus
The rear E dial controls the level of zoom, having acquired it with INFO. Just to add a further level of user friendliness, the K3 uses the OK button for LV zoom! Finally, everyone moans that the *ist series doesn't have a 'green' button, thus making it impossible to use M and K style lenses other ...

K-5ii - Live View and Manual Focus
I don't have the K-5ii, but presumably it has an option for focus peaking? Very helpful for rear screen focusing, especially if used with image magnification. The fixed screen is a limitation, but I have heard of a mirror attachment which enables viewing of rear screen for awkward angles. Unfor...

K-5ii - Live View and Manual Focus
It doesn't have Focus Peaking in the way that Sony has (which looks, on screen and in viewfinder, very similar to the under/over exposure areas) but there is a focus indication in Manual Focus mode.

Pentax K1 ii vs Sony a7iii?
What are Sony offering ? Well for 'one thing' or should I say 693 things! A massive array of 693 focus points covering 98% of the field of view, vs 33 in the Pentax. Very good & rapid AF performance + eye detect AF which by all YouTube reviewers seems pretty amazing. For a reasonable comparison...

Pentax K1 ii vs Sony a7iii?
What are Sony offering ? Well for 'one thing' or should I say 693 things! A massive array of 693 focus points covering 98% of the field of view, vs 33 in the Pentax. Who chooses which point is used. It would take quite a while to cycle through 693 focus points manually! If its the camera choosing...

Pentax K1 ii vs Sony a7iii?
I'm well embedded in Pentax but I can honestly say that if I was starting from scratch again tomorrow I would still go for the K1 mkii over any other camera. The cropping I can get from the larger sensor is superb - I can crop heavily and still get a high resolution image at large print or viewi...

What are Sony offering ? Well for 'one thing' or should I say 693 things! A massive array of 693 focus points covering 98% of the field of view, vs 33 in the Pentax. First thing I did with the K1 was reduce the default focus points to 9. I often switch to single when out shooting. i want to be i...

Pentax K1 ii vs Sony a7iii?
The Sony's now have eye focus, which seems to work pretty well. And although the camera isn't 'psychic', the focus system actually does seem to do a good job of keeping track of moving subjects across the frame. Pentax aren't going to go full mirrorless but there's a lot of tech that Pentax co...

Pentax K1 ii vs Sony a7iii?
I think no matter what innovations each company may evoke in their cameras Sony is prepared to spend to market their products in a far more serious way. Creating a greater awareness and bigger market share. That has placed them way above Ricoh. While Ricoh have a fabulous product in the K1 vari...

Pentax K1 ii vs Sony a7iii?
I wouldn't say Pentax Autofocus tracking is non existent, I agree its not as good as Canikon, but decent shots can be had with experience, Back Button Focussing ( BBF ) does help with the keeper rate. I shoot a fair few jets on the Mach Loop and when the target is small, light grey and coming str...

Pentax K1 ii vs Sony a7iii?
Sometimes things do become "received wisdom" whereas they actually change all the time. I've used Pentax lenses that were stunningly fast to focus and Nikon and Canon ones that were funereal in their pace, but also the other way round as well. There is also a cost factor and some lenses are so e...

Stub said [quote:3496ace15f="stub Ive not looked at the Sony offering. But its my guess is that it has fast auto focus and takes a decent video.[/quote] With regards video capability it captures 6K video, with pixel binning to reduce it down to super quality 4K video, so in that regard it’s mi...

Pentax AF is much better than Sony's. It's the photographers that who are incompetent and only any good at moaning and spreading FUD :shock: :lol: Stub has a "guess is that it (Sony) has fast auto focus" :shock: :oops: Sony's AF hardly works below about 13M see the Chasseur d'Images graph at ...
