Manual or Auto Focus for Motosport
It's easier to prefocus on a spot using manual focus and then you don't need to keep your shutter button half depressed. Just pan with the car and release the shutter just before it reaches your focus point, continuing to pan beyond the shot being taken. The reason for releasing the shutter sligh...

Manual or Auto Focus for Motosport
AF-C doesn't tend to work quickly enough, unfortunately. You're generally beter off with what you're doing already, Noddy, with AF-S. You could use autofocus to prefocus, but then switch to MF to save keeping your finger on the button.

Manual or Auto Focus for Motosport
You can also use the custom function to stop AF-on-halfpress. You can then use the dedicated AF button (on suitable models) or the "OK" button on the rear to perform autofocus-on-demand. Matt

Manual or Auto Focus for Motosport
I found the following in my manual in the small print under the heading "Focusing": "Regrdless if the camera is set to AF.S or AF.C the camera automatically tracks the subject if it is determined to be a moving object" My camera is a K100D so it may not apply to you, but it's worth a look. M...

Manual or Auto Focus for Motosport
Hi Guys Thanks for your input, I think maybe I'll switch over to manual focus as John has suggested and just keep plugging away until my hit rate improves. Regards

Manual or Auto Focus for Motosport
That comment about auto tracking for a moving object is also in the manual for the K200D: http://media.pentax.co.uk/downloads/photo/en/19541/K200%20manual.pdf - pdf page 107. That's quite shocking. I would see if MF is more reliable.

Aperture and my K20D
Hey, Which version of Aperture are you using? I have Aperture 2 and it works with my PEFs just fine. And yes, the RAW support comes from OS. I don't know exactly how back those updates but Leopard supports it.

Fungos?
I've read your thread on the other forum and looked at your pictures and I think it's possible that you have a case of seperation. Without looking at the binoculars in person I would not say for sure so my advice is to take them back to the shop where you bought them and ask for them to be replaced ...

tamron 90 2,5 af 1:2 with vivitar 2x macro: 1:1?
Yes that seems to be right. It will become a 180mm lens doubling your magnification but you will hold you close focus range so it will become an 1:1

Pentax 540fgz zoom stuck and turn around time
Yep, maybe turn around times will aprove. Mostly it was 3 to 4 weeks for a camera to come back don't know about flashguns. Tel was one of the unlucky ones where something went wrong, I'm sure there are more cases but this the first one I heared taking so long. :?

Pentax 540fgz zoom stuck and turn around time
Got flash back today. Seems to be have been repaired. Less than a week ago I gave them a call to get an update and lady on the phone told me it might still take some time. I explained to her it was already 3 weeks since I sent the unit in and said the problem with flash is not a very complex one...

Fogged lens
What do you mean by fog? Is the image out of focus, is the lens focusing? Presumably there is nothing amiss when you look through the lens by eye? Have you tried focussing manually? Ken

K100D shutter not releasing? need Help please?
You say you formatted the old card and then put that back in, but you should always format the card in the camera. If you formatted it in the computer then format is again in the camera. Other things to try - remove lens, clean contacts with a soft cloth and reseat the lens, making sure it clicks...

2x Converter Question
Such a simple question and an answer full of pitfalls, but basically a 2x converter will change a 50mm f2 lens (let's take that for simplicity) and turn it into a 100mm f4. The close focus ability remains the same, so it also becomes a Macro lens focusing to 1:2 or thereabouts. I think DOF wil...
