MZ-S grinding noise?
Unexpected grinding noises don't bode well, but I wonder if the film sprockets are properly engaged or if something is jammed in the film chamber or path? I would take it back before something drastic happens and get a replacement if you can, or a warranty repair if that's the best that can be do...

MZ-S grinding noise?
Just a follow-up. I got the camera back from Pentax and the rewind "noise" is back to a perceived normal level. I am not sure what the technicians did, they suggested it only required an "adjustment" but is definitely an improvement over what I was experiencing. Al

MZ-S grinding noise?
Another folow-up on the MZ-S rewind... Erratically, over the last few months, my camera failed to rewind the roll completely. A couple of times I caught it and had the roll removed in the dark box at the photo store (and a couple of times missed it). Of course, after one of these incidents, the...

Focusing Problem - MX
Hello All, My MX can not focus correctly at infinity. I think the mirror needs adjusment. Is it correct ? How can I fix it ? Any advice would be appreciated. ridwan

Focusing Problem - MX
Hi, Does this happen with all lenses? If not it could be a fault with the lens. If you take a photo with the lens at infinity of a distant subject and the photo is in focus, it is likely to be the mirror. The usual cause is a breakdown of the foam which acts as a mirror damper. This is the likely c...

Option 430RS sometimes just won't focus OR take a picture
I have had this camera for about 18 months and over the last 12 it has shown very random problems with its use. I am aware of the half press to focus and full press to take once the green brackets appear. However, even with this done sometimes I can be holding the button down for 5-10 seconds an...

Buy a new one. Sorry but you got a piece of junk, even if you repair it there's no warranty, and with cameras so cheap today, repairing it will be more expensive than gatting a new one.

Optio s4i
I have just purchased this camera (as a replacement for an S4 which was faulty) and it has problems with autofocus and macro/supermacro modes. The macro modes won't focus at all, and at times the camera refuses to take any picture in these modes. When the focus should be set by half depressing the s...

Espio 60V driving me nuts
I have an Espio 60V that I got(new)in June this year and it is driving me nuts. I took it to America on holiday and used 5 rolls of film(Kodak Gold),(ASA300). Out of every 36 shots it would mess up around 7 and the rest were ok. Most times it would"lose"some and out of 36 I would get 20-25 the re...

Optio 30 - won't focus
My husband was "fiddling" with our Optio 30 the other night :roll: and now it won't focus. Everything in the LCD screen stays unfocused, and any pictures we try to take are very blurry and unfocused. I've "fiddled" with the settings myself, and even resorted to perusing the user's manual, but to ...

Optio 30 - won't focus
Same thing, different continent. We're in Canada and have an Optio 30 that won't focus (focus box stays red, never goes green.) All the menu text in the LCD is clear as a whistle but the photos are not clear (holding shutter button halfway never focuses) Please comment!

ist D metering mode
I just got my Pentax istD camera back from Pentax repair. When I turn the dial for different metering mode, spot, multi etc. it works. But when I look at those pictures in Pentax Browswer ver 1.11 they all say multi meter. They didn't do this before the repairs. What's the problem? Shirley

ist D metering mode
Either the camera is incorrectly reporting the metering mode, or the switch is failing to change modes. My guess is the latter. Either way, take it back to be sure. George

Does any one know where lens spanners can be purchased?
I've successfully cleaned fungus from 24, 50, 135 and 200mm using a set of smal screw drivers, i've never had to remove every element since the fungus has only affected the front and rear elements. Its not something I'd recomend just to remove a few specks of dust because things can go wrong, I neve...

Does any one know where lens spanners can be purchased?
Lens cleaning can be very hazardous to your health and wallet!!! I have only tried it on an old 50mm lens and like I said the results are still sitting in a drawer somewhere with a small part that didn't make it back inside! I have now collected about 10 lenses that are uneconomical to have profe...

Does any one know where lens spanners can be purchased?
Hi again, I had another thought. About 6 months ago I got a "K" series wide angle for about £8 because it had "a lazy iris". I decided to have a go my self. Removed to 5 0r 6 screww on the back, cleaned to linkage of the excess oil and the lens worked perfectly. A 5 min job - well that bit was! I t...

Optio 330GS focus problem
My Optio 330GS suddenly decided it doesn't want to focus on anything, veiwing shots taken previously is OK, so it's not the LCD. Lens extends & can take a photo, but picture is 'pixelated' & fuzzy. Anyone have similar problems?

Problem with Optio S/Computer recognition
I have a Pentax Optio S. I purchased the USB connector for it and it has worked fine, without any problems for months. After coming back from taking some pictures the other day, I plugged the camera into the USB port and the computer displayed a message that there was a "power surge on the USB po...

Now, you may think I'm not gonna be much help here....but hear me out. I've had my S for just over a year now and quite early on, I got similar problems to you when trying to connect my S to my PC (less than a year old c/w WinXP). I tried completely uninstalling'n'reinstalling the software, trying a...
