What's causing this?
Sounds plausible to me. Yes, and to me (and in fact I've never questioned the plausibility of the mechanism, just whether it's real or not). Kudos to Canon for being upfront about it. It still isn't evidence for a real effect in Pentax world. And I certainly won't be changing how I work on the...

IMAGES NOT DISPLAYING RIGHT
^^ DVI is the white one, VGA the blue one. Look on the back of the monitor, it should give you a model number. Throw that at google, it should tell you the resolution. Should be something like 1650x1080 or 1440x900.... Bret

IMAGES NOT DISPLAYING RIGHT
A more straightforward initial step would be to right click the mouse when you have the desktop displayed. Then from the drop down list select options. Select the properties tab, and then adjust the screen resolution. Graham has suggested some common resolutions above. Try them, and others. No ha...

Windows 7 and PSE7
I have to say that since using W7, I'd not go back to XP by choice. Yes there are differences, but obce you get used to them, you really miss them. Having said that, even in XP I've never wanted programmes to cover my Taskbar, but then, personal choice and all that! Just out of interest, what ...

Strange dust problem
Fortunately (or otherwise), I am old enough to remember and sometimes use words in their pre-internet sense - as in this "wandering about" session on ebay. I do, however, usually have the sense to avoid challenging the most politically sensitive distortions of modern english usage :D I managed to...

Strange dust problem
I had a thoroughly odd moment with dust alert a while ago. On my 28-80mm and 35-70mm zooms it showed loads of the stuff around the corners (which wasn't there when I tried the white sheet of paper at f16 trick), swapping back to the kit lens saw a clean result again!

Can't update K10D
I've updated the firmware on a few camera's now, and haven't had any problems. First, before you start, make sure your camera battery is fully charged. If the battery dies during the firmware update process, you will end up with a big black plastic and glass paperweight !!! I would then format...

Milk and lap top combine to spoil weekend
My son did the same to mine (coffee) 6/8 months ago and it was totally dead. I kept trying it and nothing would work, just got a burning smell but after a week or so it just sprang back into life and I am still using it now.

Milk and lap top combine to spoil weekend
Interesting stuff, folks. This kind of thing must happen all the time. The lap top key board may come back to life given time, but, to be honest, I'm not holding my breath. One advantage of using a separate PC size key board is the size: typing is so much easier! It's a very old (comparatively) ...

Flash compensation problem on K200D
I have an issue with my K200D when using either integral or hotshoe flash where after dialling in negative flash compensation the camera will not revert back when dialling back to zero compensation, the photos remain under exposed due to lack of flash even though compensation value now reads 0.0. Af...

Pentax k-m screen death
Hi guys, my Pentax k-m's LCD screen completely stopped working just this evening. The camera switches on fine, the little display inside the viewfinder with all the exposure and aperture information still works, and I can still take photos and they go onto the memory card, and when I press buttons l...

K10 RAW Files and Photoshop
The first version of RT I had worked with PEFs, but when I updated it the crashes started. Of course I had deleted the earlier version. No way back.

K-x mode dial fault? Perhaps
Hi all, i'm a new user who has just received my very 1st digital SLR camera (well its for chistmas really but had a quick test to check it functioned fine before it gets wrapped and put under the tree). This is the one we purchased: http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/pentax-k-x-digital-slr-camera-18-55...

K-x mode dial fault? Perhaps
Welcome. :D I would pop it back into Currys and get it replaced otherwise there is a possibility that you won't have an Xmas present to open on the morning in question.

K-x mode dial fault? Perhaps
I would say the same. Get it back a.s.a.p. and then make sure that you test the replacement in the shop. I know sometimes Currys can be a pain with that from experience (when I got my wife a camera from them and it was DOA when I came home) but you are in your rights to do so, so stand your ground. ...

K-x mode dial fault? Perhaps
I'd take it back ASAP - The Dixons group of stores (Currys, Currys.digital, PCW and Dixons online, etc) normally work on a 28 day return or refund policy, like most stores in the UK, but over the Christmas Period will allow any product bought from November to be brought back up unti lsome time i...
