50mm/f1.7A aperture ring problem
I opened mine too and soon realised what a mistake I had made!. Luckily I was able to put it back together in only two or three hours with the aid of a big illuminated magnifier and lots of extreme bad language. Definitely a job for the professionals.

50mm/f1.7A aperture ring problem
Thanks for your replies. Unfortunately, I took the back off and tried to fix it myself (I wasn’t going to pay again) and lost a microscopic copper-coloured spring. I think it fell inside. When I tried to find it by unscrewing more parts another spring I hadn’t noticed got bent and broke off so it wa...

Lots of people successfully take lenses apart. Not so many put them back together again. I speak from experience. G

mz-s camera back flexes and squeeks
I have a 2 year old MZ-S. The camera back has developed a bit of flex and squeeks noticeably. This is with moderate usage, no dropping or hard knocks. There doesn't seem to be an impact on image quality, but it's very disappointing, considering the quality of the rest of the camera. Has anyone e...

mz-s camera back flexes and squeeks
I was hoping that someone would at least suggest a certain screwdriver to tighten the back. My post has been out there over a week and not one comment.

mz-s camera back flexes and squeeks
People are usually quick to respond here if they know the answer. The lack of a response suggests that none of the regulars have experienced the problem. In your place I would try tightening any screws that appear to be loose. Firms like Draper make sets of jewelers' screwdrivers which don't co...

Compatible SD cards for S5i
Ermm, no offence as I don't know your knowledge level with memory cards. Have you tried formatting the card once it's in your camera? I only ask as I made a similar mistake a couple of years back trying to use an SD card in my camera which was previously used in a PalmOne. I got the 'memory card ...

S40 record time with 512Mb card
I was testing out my new S40 with a 512 Mb memory card to video a squash game that I was playing. When I switched it on it said that I had 18+ minutes of record time. It appears that the camera video'd about 16 minutes and then switched itself off. When I switched it back on it said that it still ha...

750Z Doesn't Lock Focus Under Low Light Conditions
I have installed the flash biox upgrade that was supposed to correct this problem. It did not correct it. When I say low light, I'm talking about indoors with artificial light from table lamps and outside light through windows. The camera hunts and hunts but can't lock focus. Letting up on the sh...

Pop-up flash on MZ-5N
I'm suprised no one has got back to you yet, I've no experience of this type of servicing I'm afraid but was wondering if you are able to lift the flash manually whilst pressing the button. If so, then at least it would be usable and you may be able to see inside for anything that might be fouling ...

Pop-up flash on MZ-5N
I think this is a fairly common problem on the MZ series - it happened to my MZ-3 in the warranty period so I sent it back to Pentax, who apparently fixed it (but the camera was 'lost' in transit so I got a replacement bofy).

Focussing problem with Penatx Optio SV
It takes about 1/2 a second thereabouts for theh autofocus to work before the shutter operates. As a result, theose instantaneous moments are lost as by the time the picture is taken, the subject has moved. The camera set on auto-focus. Is there some other setting that should be set?

Focussing problem with Penatx Optio SV
Digital cameras ere getting much better in this respect, but there can be a shutter delay that takes a little getting used to. The best method IMHO is to allow the camera to focus, hold the half pressure on the relase button and then finally release the shutter. Most of the delay seems to be on the ...

Focussing problem with Penatx Optio SV
I agree with John - get an autofocus lock and hold your finger half way. Then the time lag from half-press-to-shutter is much shorter. All compact digitals have this lag - they are using the information from the CCD sensor itself to work out the focus. This takes quite a while. Digital SLRs, on t...

MZ s woes
Hi Kevin... Your problems struck a chord with me - I had a problem with one of my MZ-S's earlier this year and guess what the prob was - noisy and unreliable film transport! Went back via my dealer and was back with me 6 weeks later (after waiting for parts). Everything appears to be fine now and...

Optio 50 Power-On problem
Check the batteries again. If you are SURE they are OK, and in the right way, then it's back to the shop and ask for a replacement. G
