SFX DISPLAY AND LOCK UP
The LCD indications and flash ready light sound normal and I would image that the battery power will stabilize at around 5.8V. Obviously, there's a bigger problem here if the battery level continues to drop and there's no functionality from the camera. If that is the case, I doubt very much if yo...

SFX DISPLAY AND LOCK UP
Thankyou for setting my mind at rest re. the focus motors - mine is obviously working as it should :wink: Page 4 of the SFX manual states: "When you attach or detach the battery-loaded grip, all the indicators will appear on the CENTIC display panel, and the flash-ready lamp will also lig...

Pentax90-WR
Help! I have been taking some important pics and on picture number 17 I accidently hit the open button on my camera. It just popped the tab and I closed it immediately. The problem is the camera now indicates I'm at picture number 1. I don't want to lose the pictures I have. It didn't sound lik...

Pentax90-WR
The counter resets to zero when the back is opened and you'll still be able to fire off the last few frames but they'll most probably be the only ones that will come out - all the ones you've taken so far are likely to be fogged! As far as I know the 90 WR, like most film cameras, rewinds the film...

Pentax Optio 33LF turns itself off
Yeah but, no but, yeah but, no but...... I've got similar but worse on my Optio 330 (long out of warranty). I switch it on, lens pops out then lens pops back in and it powers off. Not batteries - can get green battery reading on view images (which still works) and have tried two fully charged...

Pentax Optio 33LF turns itself off
Maybe yes, maybe no :P The focus mechanism in the Optio range of cameras is novel, and we found it can get stuck in an "off-limits" position. In that state the lens extends, the camera beeps and retracts it and powers off. The "mic" setting (audio record only) worked fine, as ...

Shutter Button problem
Try checking that you're not using a manual focus lens with the camera set to AF - the shutter will only release when the camera thinks it's in focus. There is probably also a custome setting that only enables you to press the shutter release when in focus. This needs switching off....

Shutter Button problem
Well I got my DS back from Langley on Friday. Despite it being out of warranty they fixed it free as "good will" :D I complemented the receptionist on the speed with which they turned it around, and she said that it was often quicker to bring it in, as items sent by post tended to...

cleaning sensor and focussing screen on DS
Interesting topic. Here’s my 2 cents worth. I am a subscriber to Luminous Landscape's Video Journal (a quarterly DVD photographic magazine) and in the latest issue - #14, there is a tour of the Phase One medium format digital back assembly lab in Copenhagen. At one point it shows a woman preparin...

cleaning sensor and focussing screen on DS
:shock: so i take it that using say a kenro or simular compressed air duster is not a good plan then (not had to clean a ccd yet) you could also safe gaurd against dust by changing lenses in a more dust free enviroment ie turn your back on a race track and change with your camera inside a coat in...

cleaning sensor and focussing screen on DS
Dust does get in. Generally it doesn't affect the images, but if you try this you'll find out just how much dust you have (or haven't): * Point the camera to a cloudless piece of sky (if you can find some :D) * Put to manual focus and set to a close focus point * Set the camera to f/22 (or sma...

Slide scanning issues
LOL @ Liam :) Philip - when you scan with Vuescan, set the Media type to "Image" - that will capture what you see in the slide best of all (if you tell it that it's slide film it will try and colour correct for you, trying to get the colour of the actual scene - which is probably not wh...

hope you don't mind another member from across the pond. i've been lurking here for a while and i've been impressed with many aspects of this site. i was really impressed with the threads about taking lenses apart and fixing them. that's the reason for this post. i recently got a A70-210 f4 from e...

thanks peter for the links. i was hoping someone would come along that has experience with this particular lens. i've taken the front lens off of another 3rd party zoom and it was very easy. roll back the grip and remove 4 screws and the front barrel w/lens came off.. roy

I do have the same lens, but not with me. I've just had a look at http://kmp.bdimitrov.de/lenses/zooms/long/A70-210f4.html and it doesn't look to me as if the front element has the bezel, found on most primes, which you unscrew with a rubber cup tool. I'm not a lens repair expert so do wait for o...

well the question is rather moot now as the seller finally responded and is going to credit me as soon as he gets the lens back. including all shipping charges. he's in the UK also.. this lens did have 2 small holes drilled in it at the filter ring. evidently someone else wanted in also. anyway, i...

LENS TROUBLE ON ISTDS!
We need a bit more info. Does the lens have an 'A' setting on its aperture ring ? If yes, set it to 'A' and use the lens normally in manual focus, setting aperture on the camera body. If no 'A' setting, set the mode dial to Manual and use the DOF preview switch to turn on metering and facil...
