shutter problem on ist ds
Have you tried using a remote (IR or wired) on it and does it tnen function properly if you do. If so you could do this on a temporary basis until your K10D is back and then send the DS to the same place.

shutter problem on ist ds
Ok, so if I press extra hard on the shutter it fires. It seems like a simple job for someone skilled enough to be able to open a digital camera but there doesn't seem to be any repair shops in York that don't send the camera to someone else for repairs. I'm hoping there's someone that can fix this w...

Jammed lense protection
Hi, My 18-months old son managed to reach the camera (Pentax Optio 750Z) and poked the lense protection, with the result that now it doesn't open up properly when you switch on the camera. I think it should be quite easy to fix for someone who knows his trade, but in Sweden you are directed to the ...

Pentax K100D - Shutter won't release
You didnt get it wet by any chance :?: So i assume you are getting some electrical responses out of it :?: If its still under warranty it looks like a trip back Pentax. If you can try resetting the camera back to its default settings. But i am just clutching at straws sorry

Pentax K100D - Shutter won't release
If it is only a week out, I would take it back to where I bought it and demand a replacement rather than a repair. A repair would be fair after a month but not in a week. Kim

OPTIO 50 & LAPTOP
Clarky, you need to download the Pentax Remote Assistant Software, then use the USB cable to connect camera and computer. Even with Remote Assistant, you can't see what the camera sees without making an exposure. You can see what it took, on the computer screen, and if you save it, it ends up on ...

OPTIO 50 & LAPTOP
Big advantage is that you see it the size of the computer screen rather than the screen on the back of the camera. :wink: Kim Even with Remote Assistant, you can't see what the camera sees without making an exposure. You can see what it took, on the computer screen, and if you save it, ...

8) Thanx folks, just to clear-up the why. Tis true that I don't want the extra 'work' of shuffling back and forward between PC, Card & camera. With the camera hooked up to the PC I see the actual (size etc.) picture that the 3rd person will see on the internet... We got snow yesterday... yer...

Allow shutter release when focus not locked
At times I would dearly like to release the shutter when focus sas been unable to lock. After all the depth of focus at moderate apertures can more than handle the small error. I have read the manual and searched with Acrobat as well as the original Mark I human eyeball. I give up! Can any one pl...

Allow shutter release when focus not locked
I'll check the manual properly later, but why not use manual focusing in these circumstances. This is what the manual recommends on Page 65.

Allow shutter release when focus not locked
You can also do that if you switch to the continuous focus option, though the risk of an out of focus image is much more likely.

Allow shutter release when focus not locked
Which camera??? If you're talking *ist-D/Ds/K10D etc then I have the following setup: * In the custom menu, disable the AF-on-halfpress * (For the K10D) make sure the custom function for the AF button is set to "Enable AF" Then, you focus with your thumb by pressing the AF button o...

Bad Experience
If you've had a problem it's always a good idea to go back to the people concerned and tell them about it so they have a chance to put it right. If we don't do this then nothing is learned from events as suppliers can be blissfully unaware that anything is needing attention. Just a thought, bu...

Bad Experience
I have lost count of the number of repairs that Robin has done for. In just about every case, I have been delighted with the results. There was one case (I think it was an ESII) that started to misfire on the odd occasion about 2-3 weeks after ir came back. I gave Robin a ring, returned to camera an...

Angle Finders
The finders on the Spotmatics and K series were larger than the one introduced on the M series. If the finder says nothing else, it is likely to be one of those. More info here http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/misc/focus/index.html Kim
