K7 movie mode max time
Just a follow up on this now I'm back in the UK. Many thanks to all for your help and advice. It was the cards; so much for Panasonic "class 10"... Now using sandisk extreme III 8GB, and it'll fill the complete card with movie if I so choose. I would recommend avoiding the Panasonic class 10 -...

Silkypix wont open RAW file
People with opinions just go around bothering each other. :D Opinions are like belly buttons, everybody has one, even you! :lol: :wink: Most of the top Raw converters are excellent compared to shooting in JPEG! :roll: But some people prefer different aspects when it comes to using them. I oft...

Techy question, USB cable
The lead must be standard because I've used the same USB lead on my Pentax DSLRs, Fuji and Canon point and shoots and my multi format card reader. Card reader??? All the card readers I have use the "standard-issue" USB plug with equi-spaced pins. Which is back where I started... Richard

Cashback Barcodes
I spoke to Customer Services at Purely Gadgets before NOT buying a camera from them. Although they didn't come straight out and say they're 'grey importers' they did say they source from many different suppliers and offer their own guarantee instead of the manufacturers one. Caveat emptor:? I he...

Photoshop 16 bit mode
Just getting back into Photoshop and I cannot remember how to open images in 16 bit mode by default? I open with ACR and then into CS3 but I am having to change each image manually to 16 bit. I have tried preferences but cant seem to find anything there.

"resilient hair" on pictures
Hello Hello, New here, been lurking for a few days. I'm quite new to digital photography, to not say completely new, and have recently (last week) acquired a Pentax K-x DSLR. It works great, except for one minor problem: I've noticed this odd "hair" appearing frequently on pictures. Apparent...

Black background help
Well, Mike would be the right person to answer this one. I'll give it a try: Set the exposure with disabled flash short enough to end up with a black image (it doesn't have to be that dark, really, just give it a try). Then enable the flash and take care that the background is not lit by the flas...

Cold exposure tips (no pun intended)
Hello all, I hope I am putting this thread in the right place... I don't have a problem (yet at least) but am looking for tips. Next year I am off to Colorado for some ski fun in the Rockies and, having been there before, I know there are some incredible views and other things which would make excel...

Cold exposure tips (no pun intended)
Many years back I took my Super-A to the Arctic where temperatures went down to -40 F/C. I had to manage moving it from the accommodation at 15 to 20 C to the outside at below zero and during the working day it was in an area at around 0 to 5 C. The camera performed well - no exposure or conde...

RAW [PEF] in PHOTOSHOP
Hi Vic, Firstly the directory name should not effect the format of the picture - i.e. changing the menu settings from directry name of 100PENTX to 100_0212 does not change the PEF format. If you are convinved it worked before just change it back and try it. Secondly the camera firmware and Penta...

RAW [PEF] in PHOTOSHOP
Stefan. Message reads Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document. Bob. I didn't change the name from 100PENTX to 100_0212 [the date] in first place so I wouldn't know how to change it back. I've just taken a photo of my desk in RAW/PEF with my K10 and everyt...

RAW [PEF] in PHOTOSHOP
There must be an option somewhere to reset all custom functions or "factory reset" this may solve it. Of course you'll need to set your custom settings back up as you like afterwards.

Advise on damp please
I took a gamble on ebay with a BIN for a KM with 55mm f1.8 attached. (See here for why: http://www.pentaxforums.com/lensreviews/showproduct.php?product=29). Bought in 1979 he said. Arrived this morning well packed, but the smell hit me the moment I took it out. I quickly detached the ERC from th...

Advise on damp please
It depends on how bad the smell of damp is. If you air the camera thoroughly in a warm dry room (central heating is great for this!) and use silica gel sachets to remove any moisture, after 24 hours how bad is it? If it's going back it needs to be quick, but if there's not much amiss apart from t...

Advise on damp please
Did you ask the seller if the camera had an odour before you bought it? Did the seller specify in his listing that the camera was "odour free"? Does the smell make any material difference to the operation of the camera and/or lens in their intended use as photographic instruments? If the an...

Advise on damp please
Isn't that a bit harsh hefty1? No. After all, that could apply to anything. You don't expect a camera to smell of damp, so that's a significant defect not described. No it's not. It doesn't make any difference to the product's ability to work as it was designed to (ie. take pictures) and so is no...

k2000 shutter button not work sometimes
Hi, based mostly on this I purchased the K2000 in (my stormtrooper!) for a great (I thought) price: $700USD. I'm a little disappointed with several things and perhaps some more-knowledgable Pentax users can help me... 1. sometimes the shutter release button does nothing and I don't know wh...
