Kx Auto focus not functioning
I have been away for a time, so apologize for not getting back to you Stefan. After I install the 16-50 lens on the K-x and turn the camera control switch ON, I can take a single shot in Auto, with the subject in focus. After that no more pictures can be taken, even if I turn the camera control sw...

Kx Auto focus not functioning
Another thought. What batteries are you using? Could be that the power is just too low to run the 16-50 for some reason? If you're using rechargeables they'll be 1.2v. Try non-rechargeable Lithium batteries. They run at a full 1.5v as normal.

Lightroom 3 question
Hi Everyone Not sure if this is the right place to ask but I'm here now. If I'm in Lightroom 3 and I've done what I need to do to a picture and then export it to photoshop for some final editing, once in photoshop and I've finished doing what was needed how do I get it back into lightroom again.

Lightroom 3 question
Save it as PSD (with compatibility on) or as TIFF if you want to edit it further (lightroom can read and edit those) or else something like JPG would do the trick. Thank you. I just found that once I had edited it in photoshop and saved the image as a jpeg on my desktop then dragged it back into my ...

K10D SD card reader failure
When this happened to me, and it's only happened once, I formatted the card in another camera and then formatted back in the troublesome one. It worked. Of course, cards are cheap, so if there's any doubt just buy a new one.

K-5 continuous shooting problem
Whilst using my K-5 on Saturday at an airshow I experienced a problem using the continuous shooting mode...I was photographing an aircraft taking off and was panning succesfully firing off a few shots when the camera "froze" - the AF points remained lit in the viewfinder and the camera stopped. I tu...

Should I be concerned?
Should I even bother? The above two images were taken with my new Sigma 10-20. I changed over to the DA*300 to do some more tests: On clear blue sky, I cannot see any stain (f13-f32) On white clouds, I can barely see then at f16, but visible f22 onwards I am wondering whether I sh...

Should I be concerned?
Anything below f16 with no bright back ground will be fine I think

Should I be concerned?
As soon as I mentioned the string of pearls sensor stain to the dealer, with K5 and receipt in hand, they swapped it over there and then without any bother. I was back out of the store with replacement in hand less than 5 minutes later. Acknowledged and rectified immediately (as it ought to have be...

The Camera from hell

The Camera from hell
I think its unacceptable that you've had to wait a month. I'd go for a new black K5 plus the difference back, after all the differences are largely cosmetic (although I've heard the grip is pretty nice)

The Camera from hell
I think you have to scrape off all the Silver before it works properly!...... Wait!...... that doesn't sound Right!:shock: :lol: Now I remember what it is you scrape off :!:.... If your using an old lens that has a black painted mount, you have to either scrape back to bare metal or put a piec...

Autofocus Issues with K-X
Since I got a Pentax 55-300mm DAL for my K-X, I have had some concerns with the softness of the pictures. This wasn't so noticeable with the 18-55 kit lens and also I shoot a lot with manual focus so hadn't really thought about it previously. I stumbled across a previous post relating to a hidden ...

K20D - image quality issues.
Images looked good on the back screen. It is only when I looked at them today on the monitor they look over saturated and heavily processed. I am going to do a comparison between my k100d v k20d and two lenses DAL and WR. All with default factory settings. That should give me some answers as to whi...

Fungus attack.
You can probably save the M 50mm yourself, assuming the f1.4 is anything like the f1.7 and f2 versions. I managed to clean similar fungus from a couple of cheap ebay finds which has yet to reappear after a year or so, and they seem fine optically. I found plain vinegar on a cotton bud worked well...

Inputting focal length on Kx
Stefan - what is a prime? I turned it off but realised that shake with the zoom is a real problem for me unless I use a tripod. I'd forgotten just how heavy it is and a tripod isn't much use when you're moving around trying to catch butterflies and insects! It was great having the length to be ...

Dead K5 ... Help.
I would go for the refund and buy another, especially if its been back for repair once already.

Dead K5 ... Help.
Sorry no advice - just an observation I bought a Kr 6 months ago just to keep me going until I could afford a K5 intending to then sell the K20D and keep the Kr as a back-up for the K5. The Kr has not caused me any sleepless nights - has been a fantastic performer since day 1 - has already tak...

Dead K5 ... Help.
The K5 might have a few issues, but it's such a joy to hold and use. I cannot see anything replacing it, not even a perfect K-r ( does not feel the same in the hand) I'm going to try don's (and anvh) suggestions when my batteries are fully charged. But I have booked it to go back to Amazon to...

Dead K5 ... Help.
Just an update: Followed above, still nothing. Tried powering on with menu button as for firmware check/update. Nothing. Firmware was 1.11 from day 1. It's all packed and ready to go back
