mv1 battery cover
Hi, I would be temtpted to remove the bottom plate before trying a drill. If you need a new battery cover try here http://www.nanites.co.uk/Pentax%20Parts%2001.htm As Far as I am aware all the M series caps were the same apart from the MX. I will try mine tonight and get back if this is wrong. R...

S5i digital zoom gives fuzzy images
Hi everyone. S5i arrived a few days ago and seems pretty good except that some images seem rather blurred across the the entire picture - nothing in focus reliably at all. Investigation shows that all of the noticably poor images have slipped past the optical zoom range into the digital zoom ...

Pentax S40 Battery Depleted & Turn Off
Hi I have a new Pentax S40 and intermittently I get the battery depleted message at switch on and the camera turns off. The first couple of times this happened I changed what I thought were low batteries and it fixed the problem. It was only after I got suspicious about high battery use that I rel...

Noisy video playback on Optio MX
I've recently bought an MX. There is an irritating audible zoom/focus noise on playback of video recordings. Is there a way to get rid of this, or at the least, to minimise it? Appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Battery Depleted Message on S50
Hello, I have just purchased an S50 and everytime i try to turn it on it has a "batteries depleted" message. I have tried several sets of new batteries and have the same problem. It did work for one week prior to this. At the moment all that happens is that the camera beeps and the lense opens...

Battery Depleted Message on S50
Hello - I am using normal durcell AA batteries and am still having the problem. How long should they normally last? I will try rechargable batteries before sending it back. Thanks for the reply

[b]Optio 430RS & Compact Flash Cards Compatability[/b]
I thought most Pentax digital cameras took SD cards? But back to CompactFlash - Type I cards are pretty much universal and are slightly thinner than the Type II cards, which are the same dimensions as a Microdrive. Cameras that take type II and Microdrive will happily take Type I as well. If ...

Turn off DEBUG MODE on Optio S40.
Which country do you live in? You should have consumer rights, take it back and demand a brand new one.

Turn off DEBUG MODE on Optio S40.
I would tend to agree - take it back for a replacement. If an item is sold to you as being new, then it should be new. If you have a new pentax digital camera, the first time you switch it on it should go into the set up screen to set the date and time. If it doesn't, it's been switched on before...

ZX-5 (MZ-5) problem.
Hi, I have been using a borrowed ZX-5 (MZ-5) lately which has been great until a couple of times recently when something nasty has been happening. The mirror will sometimes lock up or come back down half-way. This can only usually be remedied by switching off and back on again which all then seem...

LX mirror rests?
I don’t think it’s the mirror rests that go sticky – they appear to be two small lugs on the sides of the mirror cavity, about 5mm from the bottom they don’t have any padding on them. On my LX it was the foam cushion around the focusing screen clamp which had perished leaving a sticky back residue o...

LX mirror rests?
Read your message Kim about Mike Spencer being Good and Cheap! Can you give me his address? Had some repairs done to MX and LX (the famous sticky shutter and perished seals )by a 'Pentax' authorised repairer in Billericay,Essex and NOT VERY PLEASED! Cost £90 for LX seals and about £60 for MX (flash...

Pentax S30 distortion and general quality?
I recently bought a Pentax S30 and have been trying it out, does the picture below seem distorted at all? http://138.251.10.18/~lumo/pics/IMGP0097.JPG To me the horizon seems to be suffering from a cats eye lens sort of effect, falling off quite sharply at the edges. Also the focus doesn...

Pentax S30 distortion and general quality?
You are always likely to get this kind of barrel distortion with a relatively cheap zoom lens at its widest angle. Point and shoot cameras do not tend to have lenses of great quality, and the zoom range is often extreme. If you shoot with the horizon closer to the centre you will minimise the ef...

Optio 330RS macro problem
Hello, I am new to this forum. I work for a small company and we use a Pentio 330RS, for our product quality records, mostly in 'Macro' mode (i.e. the best "close-up" shots). The camera has performed well but recently was borrowed for "home" use by an employee. Now it is back I am having real dif...

zx 50 date model-how disable?
my owners manual tells me to remove the separate date (cr 2025) battery from the back of the camera-i take it that this will disable the date stamp which appears on all pictures. i am in a camera club and cannot enter film that is date stamped. is there any other way to disable this feature without ...

There was an error copying the files
I think that you might be right about a defective card. I tried this on another PC and this time I could see the directory on the camera and when trying to copy it gave: Cannot copy filename.img The parameter is incorrect. Then I tested it on the telly and the photos showed up fine. Then I ...

50mm/f1.7A aperture ring problem
Hi, Don't bin it just yet. It isn't too difficult to get into the back of the lens. I am working on a "how to do it" for another forum member and will let you know. It is a bit time consuming though and can be a bit frustrating. :evil: Where did you get it repaired? £36 seems a bit steep :? ...
