Infinity focusing
The first thing to check is the dioptre adjustment on the viewfinder. Point the camera at a blank area (wall or sky) and adjust until the etched guide lines are sharpest. You don't need to focus the lens to do this and it's probably better defocused. This ensures you are seeing the image sharply on ...

Printing help
I was following the reason that if I made the image size slightly bigger than the paper then it would get rid of the white edge I get when I make the image the exact size. Am I misunderstanding something here John? Also I am noticing that when in page set up I select paer size A4 or boredrless A4 ...

K10D not working after firmware upgrade
Hi, I've just upgraded my K10D from its original firmware 1.00 to newest 1.30. Upgrade was successful (got the "complete" message on screen) and did off/on. Now the K10D is no longer working. When powering on, battery indicator quickly blinks (full charge) and nothing else happens (like if I ...

K10D not working after firmware upgrade
Come on Pentax, a little icon to let us know the card is missing/ door is open would make life easier for us forgetfull users. Huh? My *ist-D, K10D and K20D all show "No Card" when you turn on the camera :? Do you perhaps mean you didn't put the card back AND you didn't try turning on the camer...

SD Cards For K110D
Many thanks for the advice. I am a little weary about trying a firmware update because of my lack of experience, both with my computer and the camera. Afraid I might "wipe" the existing operating system within the camera and make it useless. I will take Mannesty's advice and try a 2gb card they're ...

Dust
My sensor was caked in rubbish and I bought one of . Cleared it off nicely and havent had to do it again since. :shock::shock: I have one of these and it was sold as a Lens Pen!

Warning!
The manuals for K10D and K100D quote the operating temperature for cameras use as 0 deg. C to 40deg. C. Getting to minus 7 was a bonus. I was out yesterday at Bamburgh and thought I was having the same problem but then I realised I had not switched it back on after a lens swap. Too many buttons and ...

Hefty1 where do you get the digital film from ???? :lol: :lol: It's a special digital film that comes in a roll and has to be exposed to mysterious chemicals before you can play with the image in Photoshop. No preview on the back of the camera either I'm afraid... :wink:

Was out in the COLD last night, so took one of my Spotmatics with a Takumar 1:1.4 50mm, instead of any of the digitals. Of course, it worked a treat - as it has for 40+ years. How come I can't stop looking at the back of the film door after each shot? I should glue a mirror back there so I...

We were out at -2C today and both K10Ds were operating normally, but I guess -7C is pushing it a bit. Keep the camera warm, inside a coat perhaps, and only bring it out to take the shot, otherwise it's back to film! Get much colder than that and film becomes brittle and tears when wound on, expos...

I'm just back from Chile and at dawn in the Atacama at 4,500m it was -12°C. No problems experienced with my K10D which had been kept warm going up and was in a bag between shots. I had made sure the battery was fully charged the night before.

I left the camera in the shop overnight (probably a couple of degrees over freezing) by mistake, picked it up in the morning and the DA*50-135 just wouldn't focus at all. Two minutes later, it was fine! Not sure if it's related to this topic or not, but worth mentioning?

My camera refused to work at about 0c last Saturday, but that might be due to the fact that I'd forgotten to put the memory card back in :lol: Seriously, though, I hadn't given a thought to ambient temperature affecting the camera.

Strange blue halo/spot with Tamron 90mm 2,5
When 'digital' lenses were first introduced, one of the benefits was that there were better coatings on the rear element, which would reduce/eliminate ghosting produced by reflections from the sensor. With film, the surface of the 'sensor' is matt, so non-reflective. A digital sensor has a shiny...
