Spots 'n stuff
We had a visitor to our kitchen last night, a centipede, much to my wife's fear and annoyance. So i grabbed my Pentax A 50mm and put it on the tubes and started snapping away, I then reversed the lens holding it with my fingers as the adapter hasn't shown up yet. Got some really close up shots. I th...

When using the dust alert, try it with the aperture as small as your lens will allow. The dust is not on the sensor itself, but on the AA filter in front of the sensor. Shutting down the aperture will allow the light that reaches the sensor to "focus" slightly in front of it, helping to show anyth...

Same thing happened to me, but after initially panicking, I cured it with short blasts with the rocket blower, angled up into the prism. And no, it didn't blow straight back onto the sensor!

Likewise Gareth, the evening's fayre wasn't the best but it does help by planting ideas of different ways to photograph ordinary objects when you see someone else's work. A couple of weeks back we had this guy at the club and it was just a wow evening. http://www.marksissonphoto.co.uk/ http://www...

Screen View
Hi thanks for your replys. If I put the memory card into my pc the pictures look ok. Its when I try to view them on the screen, you cant tell wether they are worth keeping or not. If you want to show someone the picture you have just taken for instance, its all blurred & the colours sort of flow int...

no autofocus
I know this sounds obvious but is the lens inadvertently set to manual focus?

A GX10 owner couldn't get my SDM lenses to work on his despite assuring me he'd updated firmware, though the GX20 should work with SDM/HSM lenses out of the box without any Firmware updates, it sounds like you've tried the obvious so only option is back to the shop and ask to try another, a bit awkw...

K100d stuck shutter?
Are the batteries fully charged - or brand new if not rechargeable. I don't have a K100 any more, but on a lot of cameras (film and digital) I have found that a low(ish) battery will have the exposure system start to operate and then hang. New batteries will then enable the cycle to complete and i...

K10d refusing to fire
I've had a similar issue in the past with my K20D + DA*16-50 + AF540FGZ. There are two reasons why the camera may not trigger the shutter:- 1: The camera has not locked focus. 2: The flash has not recycled to a ready state. In my case I was using the outfit in a park, at night with low amb...

Preventing condensation
Condensation occurs on an object when it is cold and the air around it is warm and moist. not always. even at thirty or forty below zero, here in canada, if there is fast moving water, like at the dam near my house, the cold water will steam up like a fog and settle on everything as hoar frost.... n...
