Fine focus adjusted but still back focuses!!!
This was one shot from a few, all focused more on the berries. I focused more than once on the bench end also to try & ensure a focus was grabbed. I thought it was standard practice to focus, keep the shutter button half depressed recompose then take the shot. That's why a lot of folk focus on the e...

Does it look in focus in the viewfinder?

Fine focus adjusted but still back focuses!!!
If you are: getting a red focus confirmation on the bench and not the berries not releasing the shutter half-press once focus is attained not in AF-C mode and not moving when you recompose then perhaps the lens is at fault. Further to the suggestions earlier in the thread about the camera ...

Fine focus adjusted but still back focuses!!!
I've kinda decided that the lens is at fault now. When I did the fine focus adjustments on the 50mm & the zoom different amounts were needed for the 2 lenses. For this reason I wont use the 'apply all' setting. I know that I'll forget to change between the two settings every time I change the lens. ...

Fine focus adjusted but still back focuses!!!
Let us know how you get on once you have obtained it - fingers crossed, eh? As to your current one, have you had it long? Any chance of returning it to the supplier to have it serviced, replaced or refunded given you've determined it's not fit for purpose?

Fine focus adjusted but still back focuses!!!
No, had it too long now. Should have tested it sooner, always managed to sharpen things enough in Photo shop to sort things out.

Do I need the new FA 35mm f2.0?
You lot are a bad influence, I have finally been persuaded to hit that button! Daronl & Grodgeman, I have found that I use a new lens in more ways than I might have anticipated, the Samyang 24mm TS is a case in point where I bought it for the shift but love the tilt function in getting a subject sha...

Do I need the new FA 35mm f2.0?
It’s here, thanks SRS, and will give it an airing this weekend. First impression is it’s very compact and light, would probably feel better balanced on the K50 if I ever get that back from daughter. Holding the camera the focus ring rests naturally in my left hand which is handy for manual focus but...

Which SD Card for K3
Thanks. The concerns I have is the speed it takes to 'Read' a file to view back the last image. I presume that this is due to using a relatively cheap card and only a single card for JPG and RAW saving. Is the speed of card relevant to the 'Read' component? What is the maximum size of car...

Which SD Card for K3
I always get nervous when I read that people plan to use big capacity cards and don't mention backing them up. I have a large collection of small capacity cards. I shoot, remove and backup the card, then store the card separately. I do this at least once per day. I'd hate to find a card fail...

What next Pentax DSLRs?
I thought it would amuse. It states on the support reply page that the case will be open for 21 days if I have any further questions. I doubt I'd get any further. I sent it to be curious and cheeky. This is what I got back. No idea what nationality the 'planed' chap is. I guess its a Google t...

What next Pentax DSLRs?
These are early prototypes of planed cameras, front and back.

Oooops, there goes my camera.
Well it turned out to be a fairly easy fix, pull the rubber away, remove 4 small screws (as usual I managed to lose one but found it wedged in between the rubber) and then remove the rail. place the leg back in and then screw it all back. Works fine now ... had that been my D500 I think it would ...

Can I use my K3 to focus stack in camera?
Hi all, I have never done a focus-stacked image but it's something I'd like to try in the future. I understand the theory and it occurred to me that my K-3 has some functionality which allows various images to be combined and this may allow me to focus stack in camera. Is that possible? Which ...

No you can't focus stack in camera with the K-3.

Can I use my K3 to focus stack in camera?
Focus stacking in-camera is something I mentioned on here in 2011 and it's still not available to us. Some point 'n shoot cameras have it, so why not Pentax ? ? ?

Can I use my K3 to focus stack in camera?
Nothing to stop Pentax users creating stacked images as we all know, just not in camera. website by PU member nass explains all. And thread on the US forum may also be of interest
