Another K3 mk.III thread
First impression is that coming from a K-1, it is tiny :), even the K-3 feels chunkier. The extra weight vanishes because of the ergonomics of the grip and thumb step on the back plate. Viewfinder is a tiny bit brighter than the K-1 and just luxurious to look through, it picks up just enhances the ...

K3III focus point illumination.
Think this was commented on here? Found this https://youtu.be/ZiSukXLfgwE The comment by Kobie underneath the video explains the problem, the focus point does not light up in tracking mode while firing the shutter so it's fairly difficult to photograph moving objects with any real precision. T...

K3III focus point illumination.
Is it not a menu item ? The K1 can be selected for the points to light up or not.

K3III focus point illumination.
I can see the focus confirm easily enough in AFS in dark conditions, it is red and if you're expecting it, will see it.

K3III focus point illumination.
I can see the focus confirm easily enough in AFS in dark conditions, it is red and if you're expecting it, will see it. But not in AF.C apparently?

K3III focus point illumination.
Haven't gotten that far in my discovery. Working up to AF.C, not my usual type of shooting :oops:

K3III focus point illumination.
Correct Mike - it lights up in AFS but not in continuous AF. In theatre rehearsal shots last week I reverted to letting the camera automatically choose the focus points in AFC as it was too dark for me to see them in the viewfinder - and to be fair it did a good job so I think I just need to learn ...

Lack of K3 - III specific postings
Another NHS worker here and love the camera. That said, I’m currently seconded to the national team coordinating COVID testing capacity across NHS labs in England, so the time to use it has been rather fleeting….it is however by some margin the best dSLR I’ve used. When/if I have some images w...

Neo Camera review of K3 mkIII
Good spot! Thank you for the link. I've only had a quick scan but it seems a very thorough and informative review and over all very positive. I'll get back to it and read it properly when I have a bit more time (coffee break over)

Image Synch won’t connect
I have no trouble at all with it on my Android phone. What does enrage me is that it immediately starts to download every last image on the card. It goes on and on and on and you can't stop it. If you just want the wi fi facility for one session make sure it's a clean SD card! Also, unlike the Flu c...

Image Synch won’t connect
All you get to use for focus positioning is the fat ball of your (very inaccurate) finger. For any sort of precision work, it's next to useless. Have you tried a pointer/stylus rather than a finger? My wife uses one for her phone, she finds it much more accurate than a finger. Cheap and available f...

AP publishes a full review of the K-3iii
But ever since digital cameras arrived, hasn't the undercurrent always been the same "Pentax is doomed" message? And yet, here we still are and Pentax are continuing to produce excellent new product, as well as revamping the old as well. Not everybody wants a mirrorless camera, and Pentax may yet...

USING A K30 WITH APERTURE BLOCK FAILURE
I think the percentage of defective cameras is low or in line with other manufacturers, but when they do go wrong, you tend to hear about it on the Internet forums. I like the K30 and using it as effectively a digital back is not the end of the world as it is well suited with a good viewfinder and f...

Ks2 light on / camera not working
Hello, I got absolutely soaked today in Iceland, as i got caught in bad weather during a trail - i was carrying my 5 months old baby and couldn’t care less for my DSLR which my wife carried - we had heavy wind and rain - like soaked to underwear level. I had a non WR lens on it. When we arrived (...

Thanks, it turns out I’ve found someone with a similar problem, I was given advice to put my camera in a sealed back full of rice, after 2 days it works again :)
