Dust on ,my focus screen
The mirror is already treated by the manufacturer How do you know? I know the filter on the sensor has an anti-static coating but never heard something about the mirror.

I know many things Stefan, but if it wasn't what would happen to a silver surface? We only have to examine all our silver cutlery to get the answer to that one.....:lol: Generations of those who polished the silver will also know.

But you wrote in anotehr comment that there is a coating on the mirror, so the silver in the mirror never gets into contact with the dust to begin with so is the coating anti-static as well?

I think we can assume so Stefan.

The silver (or aluminium)will be coated to stop it corroding, not sure if it's anti-static or not, but it's better left alone.. too easy to scratch. Not really relevant to cameras, but this shows you how to make a mirror. It doesn't go as far as coating it.

Dust on ,my focus screen
AP in the 1930s and 1940s (no, I'm not that old, but I collect things!) carried useful articles such as "How To Make an Acetylene Generator" and, more pertinent here, "How to Resilver your Mirror" but those days are long gone. Algi is correct in that not all silvering is actually silver, but the ...

Recovering memory card data?
There are some free software available u can search them on google but I do not believe in free software as it will end up messing my computer with virus and spywares and whether it recovers your data intact or not is not guaranteed there are chances that u end up loosing your precious data. So I l...

Any thoughts on why this is so noisy?
I have one similar to this when trying to check for any stains on the K7. Shot a white sheet not worring about focus one shot was too close about half min focus distance,maybe less. It was pixilated in browns,light,darker to redish browns. Jack.

Dumb Question - zoom in during LiveView
First, I have read the manual, and can't seem to find the answer, but I may have read the wrong part of the manual :) I have a K-7, and my only gripe is that sometimes in low light when shooting a model it will fail to focus on the models skin, and focus on the background instead. I am generally ...

Dumb Question - zoom in during LiveView
If you are using centre point focus then the camera can't focus on something else instead, but of course it can fail to focus. I'm wondering though why you are trying to focus on skin when it's the eye that needs focusing on? Also, it would have to be very dark indeed for the camera to fail to fo...

Dumb Question - zoom in during LiveView
Mark - thanks for that, I'll try it out. John - it's so dark as I often shoot models in abandoned buildings etc, where I am often at 800 ISO, 1/20s at f2.8 on a monopod or tripod, the model is some distance away from me so the actual area of the focus target (which is larger than the little red ...

Dumb Question - zoom in during LiveView
I have to say that I have, not with models though, used all the methods above, all have their limitations as the SB will fall off well before the target, the LED light will not increase the contrast on the skin and live view at full zoom is shaky. It is worth noting that live view can be set to use...

Viewfinder puzzled newbie
Hi Right don't laugh too much when you read this. Looking through the viewfinder of my new K-5 it is not as clear as I thought it would be. I don't mean "in focus" wise because it is in focus I just mean it got a browny look to it with speckles on and not clear. Have I left a protective layer on ...

Manfrotto replacement centre column needed
