Recording live view screen?
Hey, Just wondering if there was a way to record the live view screen with all the icons on so the video shows what I see at the back of the camera? Thanks.

K1 sold on. Just fancy K1ii. My K3ii getting on a bit now. Last hurrah I think it's called. Really must get my sensible head back on.

Apparently, it will allow the use of different focus sensors depending wether the camera is held verticallly or horizontally. It willl also have a 1.7 X crop that will also show up in the viewfinder. The IBIS will also b...

New Firmware update coming up for Christmas. Is it a gift from Pentax?
I saw the announcement earlier, and some questions struck me. Who pans diagonally?? How will a crop mode be visible in the viewfinder of an SLR unless they're activating hardware that's been there since the beginning? As for the focus sensors, I think it's overall an improvement and can be ...

K3 iii + DA300mm
Question for K3 iii users: Is the K3 iii autofocus with the DA300mm f4 (also with 1.4TC) significantly better in practice than that of the original K3? I'm thinking here of (a) time taken to acquire focus; and (b) ability to hold focus during tracking (birds, butterflies etc.). Or is the lens the li...

K3 iii + DA300mm
I own both the K-3 and K-3 III, and the focus speed with SDM lenses is more or less the same on both. Sometimes, what really influence the focus speed is how far off is the focus to start with. I try to "prefocus" more or less where I think my "target" will be, hoping the focus motor will start go...

K3 iii + DA300mm
Thanks, helpful :). It confirms my suspicions about focus speed but I wasn't sure whether that was my imagination or I'd really read it somewhere. Any comment on tracking with the K3 iii + DA300 i.e. once focus is achieved on a moving object does it hold focus better? Steve

Pentax K-x in 2023
Hi all, As someone who no longer uses Pentax as his main camera system but still loves the brand, I didn't expect to be buying any more DSLRs but when a K-x with Sigma MF 24/2.8 popped up on my radar for €40 plus delivery, I couldn't resist. I remember when the K-x came out it was revered as t...

Colour cast with K5
My K5 appears to have developed a colour cast - is this something that happens or am I just unlucky? May have to bin it and go back to the old faithful k10d!

Colour cast with K5
Have you tried a total reset? The reason that I ask is that a few years ago my K5 would only shoot in monochrome caused I think, by the sensor being overwhelmed when I inadvertently pointed the camera towards the sun when I took a shot. Resetting the back to factory settings did the trick. Mind you,...

Small field monitor for K-3iii etc
Nice idea and top marks for building your own but From what I can see hdmi camera monitors are already available on Amazon for around £100-120 so you be up against established competitors. E.g. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Feelworld-Camera-Monitor-Assist-1280x800/dp/B07LFWMY1P/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=2C...

Small field monitor for K-3iii etc
Ok understood. Thank you but just wondering have you tried the Ricoh image sync app and how does that compare as I think it also gives live view and remote shutter release in a small package with your smartphone? Hi I did try the image app and it works well once connected but I found it took a few ...

Me and Bird Photography
Since circumstances changed at home, I’ve been thinking about getting back into bird photography. My dilemma was what equipment to go for, having tried and failed with the K-3ll /150-450 or DA300. I say failed, as compared to a couple of friends with the Nikon D500. I’ve also tried to a certain e...
