KS2 dark images with Live View
LV is slower focussing than through the viewfinder. How much longer does it take to focus ? Random dark images sounds like aperture block failure.

There are various things you can do. First off, wipe gently the contacts on the back of the lens and on the camera mount using a dry, soft, lint-free cloth. A microfibre lens cleaning cloth is ideal. Then I would do a factory reset of all the settings - you'll find the reset button in the menus. ...

K-3 focus points
In the viewfinder of the K-3 are some thin black lines, including two curved lines indicating the centre of the frame. I noticed today that the central focus spot, which shows red when you are using it to focus, is not in the centre of the area indicated by the those lines but off to the right. I'...

K-3 focus points
Hi both. The diopter adjustment is on maximum where it always is so I can use the camera without my glasses. All the various focus point selections work fine. I usually have it set to a single focus point and select the one nearest to the point I wish to focus on. The centre one is still inside the ...

K-3 focus points
Has the camera had a knock recently? Are the other focus points absolutely symmetrical or offset in the same direction as the centre point? It sounds like something is out of alignment. My K3 centre focus point is dead centre and always has been. Steve

Why does everybody say "impact" when they mean AFFECT?

The lines are I think marked on a detachable focus screen mounted above the mirror, check if that has moved slightly but be VERY careful as it is too easy to mark with scratches and fingerprints.

Why does everybody say "impact" when they mean AFFECT? If you impact something you have an impact on how it behaves, or indeed you also affect it. English is a very rich langauge with many ways of expressing the same ideas.

Hi. I have had the same "fault", but it was a user fault, I had, chosen a a focuspoint that was not in the center. I dont remember exatly how I did it. When you have all the focuspoints you can chose a point outside the center and then it will focus there. Check where your focuspoint is. Hope th...

Sounds like the focusing screen has been knocked a little out of where it should be. I'd have a look, gently open the little brace that holds it in place and close it again to see if that helps.

Yeah that’s a hot shoe to standard 1/4” male tripod thread. Onto which you can mount anything, and in that case it’s a GoPro mount and then onto a cell phone holder. Funny thing is once you go tripod then there’s much less need for an optical viewfinder. Personally anything tripod (at night or...

I can’t tether my K1 to my smartphone for some reason but it will work with a mini iPad, the most useful aspect of which is selecting a focus point by just touching anywhere on the screen; if the new camera does that with the rear screen it will be a bonus, especially if the touchscreen is automatic...

KP vs K1 Image Quality
Hi all, long time since I posted on here, hope you're all OK. After owning a K-5iis for 8 or 9 years and and K3 for 7 years, I've recently acquired both a KP and a K1 (still have the K-5iis and K3, but probably will sell the iis). There's no doubt the K1 is a beast of a camera, a pleasure to u...
