Backfocus tests
Is there somewhere I can download a focus test chart? I think I've seen it somewhere on the forum in the past, but I can't find it!

Backfocus tests
I would say it is slightly front-focussing. On your 90 mm, the rear figure 6 is out of focus while the frong figure 6 is still sharp. However, judging from the battery shot, it does not seem to give you any major problem.

K10D battery - NP400 voltage dangerously high ?
Hi All I bought a couple of Power Mart NP400 batteries from eBay as a back up but have not yet needed to try them. Out of interest I thought I'd test the voltage and it is 8.35 .... instead of 7.4. The Pentax comes in at 7.4. I'm obviously now not going to use them but does anyone if that the extr...

K10D battery - NP400 voltage dangerously high ?
I have 2 of them and been using them for a while without any noticable problems. But i will test the voltage on them and get back too you. Have you tested the Pentax original to see what its putting out :?: I have tested cordless drills in the past and found the voltage is always higher wh...

Removing lens elements
But will you get it back together? Lens elements make good magnifying glasses, I have found. No need to tell you how. G

Horrible wavy line patterns
The effect is just visible, but not easy to see at the size available. Is it visible on both RAW and JPEG captures or just RAW? I'm wondering if it is some sort of moire-like effect, but what is causing it is something else. Maybe high ISO, noise reduction, faulty SD card, faulty SD card reader, ...

Horrible wavy line patterns
Update for those who might want to know. Rang Pentax, and they think I have a CCD fault, so its going back to them for them to look at. I'll let you know what happens then. Guy seemed pretty knowledgeable which was a plus. Very pleased to hear that they give a 2yr Guarantee, especially as I di...

Horrible wavy line patterns
I had to send my K10D for repair (Canada) and got it back one week later. Not as fast as what you've had, but still a good service in my book. I'm happy your problem was finally sorted out and fixed.

P-TTL not working with K20D
Yesterday I got my K20D :lol: :lol: but the first tests with the flash(es) AF360FGZ and AF540FGZ were disappointing. When attached to the camera I cannot bring them in P-TTL mode. It seems the camera doesn't "see" the flash as the flash indicator is blinking and exposure time is long (in...

P-TTL not working with K20D
Thanks chirpy for your reply. Yes, I have set the Fn menu to flash on. Whatever mode I adjust on the flash, the camera won't take notice of it ("flashing" flash symbol). If I set it on manual mode the flash will fire but the result will be an overexposed shot. Seems as if I have to ...

P-TTL not working with K20D
Well, I had to send it back and hope that it will be exchanged for a new one. Can you imagine how I feel having had a brand new K20D for what felt like 20 nanoseconds (I had it a week but no time to put it through it's paces; seemed to work wonderful as long as you don't stuck a Pentax flash gun on ...

Tokina lens, not functioníng properly
Ok here goes. Last fall I bought a Tokina 28-70 f2.6-2.8 lens used over ebay. But it have never worked properly on my K10D. When I turn on my Pentax, it asks for the focal length (like it thinks it's a manual lens) The lens works fine until it hunts and the focus ring goes to infinity or 0...

Tokina lens, not functioníng properly
Did you go into the Custom Menu and scroll down to find 'Aperture Permitted or not' : Put it to 'Aperture Permitted' : when I put my manual focus lenses on and the shake reduction lever is 'ON' then the purple thing comes up with the focal length in it and you can change it to what you want.

Aperture 2.1 problems.
Don. I removed all my image files from Aperture 2 that were originally on Aperture 1.5. The only ones on there now are new ones straight from a card, Shot RAW and was making a few adjustments. Like I stated on some images it happens in the process of the files loading to the window. Get same ...

Aperture 2.1 problems.
As it was a gift, you haven't lost much except time. If however the software was purchased as a gift for you, and it is not 'fit for purpose' the purchaser ought to be able to get their money back. If everybody who was having these problems sent the software back, Apple would soon be more incline...
