K10D locked up
my kr did it once. I conclude it to be a user error. I was shooting video with it, the first day, and by force of habit, I switched the camera off as I set it down.... it was still writing to the card and it locked up. I take that incident and compare to what others have experienced (even on Cano...

K10D locked up
I would have thought (hoped) that either would have checked that there was nothing important going on before it was enacted. well, I'm not one for repeating my mistakes... but I tried it just now, and shutting it off while recording, did not lock up the camera, and the camera did play back the clip...

OOF using DA*16-50
My DA*16-50 doesn't appear to be focusing at all, I have included a to a photo taken this morning and would like your expert opinion on whether it's me or the ff/bf issue people have been talking about with their K-5s. The shot was taken on Program mode and the camera pointed at the writing on the ...

OOF using DA*16-50
The lens was pointed at the writing on the bottle, focus confirmation beep was heard and shot fired. So for a £700+ lens I kind of expect the picture to be sharp and in focus. As stated earlier it was repeated on a tripod with a wireless trigger and the same result (blurred and oof). The same shot w...

OOF using DA*16-50
Looks like a back focus issue- to bring the focus point closer use rear e-dial (turn to the right) to adjust to a closer focus position. Remember to use apply one not apply all. ( I think). Cheers, Gary (Select 26. AF Fine Adjustment in Custom setting 4)

Thanks Gary, I've now taken some shots and cropped to the focus point the final 3 using your advice. Focus achieved by pressing the shutter half way except while using LV when the AF button was used. 1. 16-50 @ 50mm through viewfinder 2. 16-50 @ 50mm using Live View 3. SMC Pentax A 5...

OOF using DA*16-50
Can we assume you used manual focus for #1 ? If so, it is badly out of focus. As far as I know, the AF adjustments made for the later shots have no effect when using manual focus. Is your diopter adjusted correctly? To adjust it, remove the lens and fit a translucent body cap if you have on...

OOF using DA*16-50
All shots apart from the one with the Pentax A 50mm were auto focus, the conformation beep was heard before the shot was fired, all shots were taken on a tripod using a wireless remote. Also apart from the 50mm with all shots the focus ring was moved to put the lens out of focus and the shutter butt...

Help - My DL has Died
I have had rechargeables "die" on their very first charge. Not worth taking the dead ones back when they were bought in Carrefour (Cherbourg, probably). "Old ones" can die quite fast when their life is up - great today, tomorrow they go into the box of dead stuff to haul to a retailer and tip into ...

K100D focus screen
I put a cheap split screen in my DS and had no problems, do remember they are not suitable for all lenses particularly very wide and very long ones.
