Disassembling FA28-70 f4
Looking at the photo, it is difficult to tell what is causing the problem. The next stage is to remove the rear group. The view you show is with the rear group forward. Zoom it back and remove the ring directly around the lens elements. You can see the 3 holes I was referring to. This should unscrew...

*istD with Battery Grip D-BG1
These answers are by no means conclusive, but I've done a quick test of my D-BG1 which may shed some light on your query's. 1) Once the D-BG1 is connected to the camera, does the camera have access to the extra battery power from the D-BG1, regardless of the switch setting on the D-BG1? Or does t...

Oops! I dropped my Optio S5n.
I dropped my S5n (on Christmas day) onto a stone floor in a bar. The camera was switched on and it landed on the extended zoom thing. The three pieces of round plastic casing on it have gone out of shape and will not retract; one of them has split and one has cracked. The black lens cover popped out...

Language settings on *ist DL
scrap that.. I somehow found it. I'm off back to work, so I'll try and work out how I did it later and post it up, just in case anyone else needs to know. Cheers Liam

Language settings on *ist DL
Hi Liam, If the menu system of the DL is the same as on my DS, you could achieve going back to a Western language as follows: open the Menu, then with the four-way controller go to the Set-up menu (next to the wording - in Chinese in your case - are the icons of a spanner and a screwdriver) the f...

timing and shutter speed problems
This camera will work in a variety of different modes. If you want to leave everything to the camera, set the lens aperture to A, and the shutter to Auto. Leaving the aperture on A, you can dictate the shutter speed by rotating the shutter dial to the speed you want. The camera will then sele...

optio 30
I'm not familiar with your camera so I'm not aware of any inherent problems with this model, but you could check the following general items: 1: Does the battery need replacing ? If its more than a year or so old and the camera has had regular use it probably does. Have you replaced the battery? ...

Lost RAW
I'm not sure if reloading the firmware erases any custom/confused/corrupted settings. You might try doing a Reset to factory default. I can't remember exactly where the reset function is, probably at the end of the main menu list. This will set all of the internal commands back to how they were when...

Lost RAW
One more trick you might try is to remove the batteries for a long period, say overnight, and try again next day. Stranger things have been known. BTW: It goes without saying (but I'm going to anyway) that when you finally resolve the issue, double check with Sigma that your item is 100%compatibl...

Newbie with Optio S5Z Problem
I have just got the Optio S5Z and cannot playback the video clips on anything but Windows Media Player. (Downloading them is fine) My Adobe Premiere won't import and Pinnacle Studio say it doesn't support MPEG4??? I use professional cameras in my work (hence Premiere) and use the Pentax for ...

Problem....need urgent help....
Well I can't find any mention of the light flashing in the manual and I've not been able to get mine to do it. The whining noise of the flash charging is pretty quiet and only lasts a few seconds. Are you sure that he's talking about the flash-ready light? If the camera is unable to focus correctl...

... and my *istds (please someone tell me how to say that properly) I wonder what the person was thinking when they suggested that name to the Pentax marketing department? Even better, I wonder what the marketing department was thinking when they said it was a great idea? Maybe this meeting took pl...

*ist-D battery grip: D-BG1 and battery issues
Hi all, I decided to post a new topic on the "*ist-D-battery-grip-battery-issue" problem. I think I have some more information that pins down the problem, or at least some of it ;) Previous threads on this subject and the D-BG1 in general: https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/viewtopic.ph...

*ist-D battery grip: D-BG1 and battery issues
Hi Matt Just noticed your reply to this thread, like you I can't believe that Pentax just put them in paralell, but I don't see them using diode coupling either due to the 0.6Voltage drop, unless they use 'switched mode' PSU's which I'm pretty sure they wont. Thinking further on this it could be th...
