focus problems? K10
Thanks, Guys. The pic is resized to load onto the gallery, but the original is just as out of focus. The settings are.. Point focus, panning, and the AF point setting at AUTO and as you know at F8 @3000s. I took about 100 shots. Maybe some could be down to my panning but ALL are out of focus...

i would not use the af auto, use the centre af point and you will get better result as long as your panning good That can be quite an ask though, sometimes, especially with fast jets. With something as slow as a glider, it should be reasonably easy to keep the centre AF point on the subject. H...

Another thought: How central are the gliders in your original frames? Is the one you posted to the gallery just resized, or is it cropped as well? The reason I ask is that the glider is nowhere near the centre of the frame in the one you posted, and it may simply be that the camera was focusi...

focus problems? K10
I am getting a little confused. The glider is quite large at the distance I was focusing on it. The red focusing dot was on the glider. I took at least 6 or 7 shots of the glider landing. I should have been able to get one or two right. Getting them all wrong makes me ask questions. Had I mi...

The aperture of the lens needs to be F2.8 I think to use the 1.7x converter properly with AF. Especially at the longer end of the zoom, the AF system will not have been able to operate properly. I think we have found the reason. Try again with just the zoom and you should have no problems.

I never use AF-C with a converter as I think they slow the AF down ... I would have thought the lens wouldn't be able to keep up.

That is a relief...Knew there must be something I am doing wrong. Have checked the camera and lens against the focusing chart and all seems correct. Forgot my 70-300 tamron so decided to put the converter on the back of my 70-210. It seemed logical to me. Oh well. Maybe next summer when the cad...

focus problems? K10
Split screen is very very easy to do on a K10D, if you go to youtube there are videos on there showing how to do it step by step. Are you going for a cheap Ebay screen or the Catzeye ? If you fit it yourself I suggest finding somewhere as dust free as possible (bathroom after running a hot sho...

If you fit it yourself I suggest finding somewhere as dust free as possible (bathroom after running a hot shower for a while, steam to settle any dust) is pretty good I found. :idea::idea: Just about to fit a LL80 screen. Thanks for the tip:wink:

K20D image noise
To be honest....that never crossed my mind... But why make the K20D (the flagship) worse than the K10D....??? Weird? Not really weird though, they are both different devices and work in different ways. CCD is an active sensor where CMOS is passive, that's why CMOS is better for longer shutter...

stuck on auto focus
I've just had to take my K200D back for a second time (thankfully just within the 1 year warranty) as the auto/ manual focus button has got stuck onto auto focus again. Has anyone else had this problem with this or any other Pentax SLR?

No. Both my K110d and K200d are OK, sounds like a 'one off'. Hope it's sorted soon as the K200d is a good camera, mind I've got to say that!

Not a problem I've heard of (or suffered) but I suppose any complex piece of kit is vulnerable to tiny manufacturing defects. Sounds like you've just been very unlucky.

You can check the switch: * Remove lens * Move the switch to AF - the focus pin should protrude from the lens mount * Move the switch to MF - the focus pin should retract There is, of course, an internal switch as well that lets the camera know which mode it's in, but the physical link is need...

Matt, A switch on the 17-70mm ? Am I missing something ?

:oops: Completely ignore what I said about the switch. Having an "off moment" :roll: The 16-50 & 50-135 have their own AF/MF switches. The 17-70 doesn't. However, it appears you can switch to MF either with the body switch or the lens switch. (It may be I was confusing myself over some littl...

Shaking it, maybe the pixels will fall back in place then? :wink: I know that Canon replaced once all the sensors of one of their series because they had a fault in it, maybe if you send it to Samsung they might be helpful? Simply send a e-mail with one of the photos with exif attach to them and...

Flashing "F"
Hi, I don`t have a K20D but if it is a non Autofocus Lens that you are using it may be that you need to go to the menu and find "Using Aperture Ring" and Change to permitted. if that does not work then go to AE-L with AF locked. When set to ON this will only allow the shutter to be fired when the ca...
