Cropping
I have a K1 ii and I am attempting to crop a photo within the camera. Either I have forgotten how to do it or the camera has. I am zooming into the area which I want to keep (using the scroll wheel at the back of tha camera) and pressing "OK" and nothing happens. Am I doing it incorrectly, that is ...

To beep or not to beep?
I've very recently acquired a new K3iii. Today I went out for the first time to try to do some serious bird photography. Although I generally do not use the autofocus achieved 'beep' when in the proximity of birds, I do find it useful when further away. Anyway I could not get any beep with the a...

To beep or not to beep?
My K3iii beeps on focus confirmation via the viewfinder, I suspect yours either has a fault with the AF mechanism, or it's a menu setting that needs switching on. Kind Regards David

To beep or not to beep?
My K3iii beeps on focus confirmation via the viewfinder, I suspect yours either has a fault with the AF mechanism, or it's a menu setting that needs switching on. Kind Regards David Interestingly enough, SRS said their demo K3iii beeped in live view, but not when viewfinder was used! My origin...

This Should Be Obvious
I primarily use my Pentax KS-1 for so I guess my lack of knowledge on this should be no surprise. How do you disable autofocus? The AF button does not turn off autofocus in any obvious way. I am doing panoramas behind my house and plants between me and the snowcapped mountains are grabbing foc...

This Should Be Obvious
Thank you. I was press the button labelled AF/AE-L on the right rear. The AF/MF control on the left front, I have never previously noticed. The AF/AE-L button is dual purpose. It can be set to operate the AF, the same as a shutter half press, and this is known as back-button autofocus. It can also...

Right angle viewfinder
Thanks GGP, does anyone know if the eyepiece is the same on all later DSLRs? The physical size of the eyepiece hasn't changed since the M series film cameras. What you can see, however, varies from model to model. I have a magnifier on my K-3 which obscures parts of the view on the magnificent viewf...

Why not flip the back screen and use Live View?

Right angle viewfinder
Walkeja, I have been doing that trying to photograph snowdrops and normally that works ok, except for some reason using a 30 year old lens the autofocus in live view doesn't work; even using manual focus I like to half-press the shutter to get the focus alert as my eyes are not as sharp as they once...

my fix of the K-30 aperture problem without disassembly
Hi there A few days ago I got a problem with my K-30. Until now I didn't knew, that this seems to be a common problem with the K-30 / K-50 series. Pictures I have taken were totally underexposed. So obviously there must have been an error with the aperture control. Also in live view an underexpo...

K1 ii Shake reduction.
Thanks all. I had the drive mode set to remote. All fixed. I remember I was trying to check out some remotes that I hadn't used for a long time and didn't change it back. All good now. It's good to have some clever friends. Thanks again. CHEERS Vic.

Having suffered from the dreaded K70 aperture solenoid failure I have finally plucked up the courage to replace the failed solenoid with a white solenoid I managed to find on Ebay. I found a very good step by step guide on the internet, bought a temperature controlled fine point soldering iron and ...

K70 Aperture Solenoid Replacement
I'm pleased to have the K70 back working and all for a £25 replacement solenoid. I do like the flip out screen for those awkward low shots and the built in flash is handy when you need a bit of "fill in" light and don't have a flash gun with you, both things I realise how much I miss when I use the...
