photos coming out blue?
Is there a shortcut button that adjusts white balance on the k20d? Because look back through the images Ive taken so far it changes from automatic to daylight to automatic and finally tungsten: I wonder if Im changing it by accident?

Focus selector switch broken off!!!
As the title says, the selector switch has broken off on my Samsung GX10....... Has anyone else had this happen? It, fortunatly, has come off with the AF in the position I use most, but I really don't know how it has happened, I picked the camera up from my desk, to go and take some shots in the gar...

Focus selector switch broken off!!!
If you bought it from a Pentax Pro Dealer then you'll have a two year warranty, otherwise it'll only be one year. Either way spare parts are still readily obtainable for a K10D so getting it fixed shouldn't be a problem, it'll just be a case of whether (and how much) you have to pay. First time I...

Kit lens soft in when held in portrait format
Most lenses (though not macros, generally) have a curved field of focus - so if you focus on a particular point, every other point on the curve will tend to be in focus. A flat surface like a brick wall will not all be in focus unless you stop down. So to be sure you have a problem, you need to ...

Kit lens soft in when held in portrait format
When looking up, the subject will be further away at the top than at the bottom. Both can't be in focus, unless you are stopped well down. Portrait mode will emphasise this point. G

Kit lens soft in when held in portrait format
Thanks all. When looking up, the subject will be further away at the top than at the bottom. Both can't be in focus, unless you are stopped well down. Portrait mode will emphasise this point. Yes! I thought that was what it might be, especially as the issue came to light with this shot, and simi...

Kit lens soft in when held in portrait format
Well, there are three problems here. The first is that most lenses have a curved field of focus (which is why brick walls are a bad test subject, unless you know what you are doing. For this reason, if the centre of the bank is in focus, the edges won't be. Second, most lenses are noticeably sh...

DEBUG MODE K10 D
Iv`e downloaded the software which enables me to switch DEBUG on and off via a USB cable, that`s fine. What on earth do I do to find the DEBUG menu in the K10 and does anyone have instructions please for altering the focus. I have also downloaded the charts for focus testing from Yvon Borque. Ced...

DEBUG MODE K10 D
Thanks Steve, I will carry out a series of shots as per the thoughts of Yvon Borque. Just need a little time. At present the K10 is set at the zero or centre position. Had a few comments refering to back focus but I need to be a little more scientific. In particular my Tamron 28-300 is the worst off...

Focus is on the rings below the rim of the chimney pot. Tamron 28 - 300 at 300 mm. Tripod mounted SR off and 2 second delay with mirror up to minimise shake. Cedric

Weird clicking noise
I have just got my Pentax Optio M60. There is no data card. When I turn the camera on and move the camera to take a picture, the camera makes a weird clicking noise while it is in motion. If I steady the camera, the noise stops. It starts again once the camera is moved. This noise does not soun...

SD card & K-7?
Hello, New to this forum and to dSLRs. Have had a K-7 for 1 week now, and I've had to reformat the 16 Gig SD card 3 times already because it ends up at "cannot display image". Is this usual, or should I take the card back to the shop and have a whine at them to get another? =) Many thanks

SD card & K-7?
What speed is the card? It may be a write speed issue, the camera may be trying to send data to the card faster than the card can record it. I would want to be using a Class 6 card with the K7 to be on the safe side. ( or at least Class4) Hmmm... no clue - and it's at home: I'll look it up when I g...
