K5 Image Rotation Question
Hi All, Have a K5 for a few months now, and when taking a portrait the initial view shows on the rear screen in portrait mode, then when going back to the image it won't rotate 90 deg to portrait view. The camera's been back to Pentax ( only got it back today ) for another problem + this one. ...

K5 Image Rotation Question

K5 Image Rotation Question
Hiya Chris, Thanks for the info, I'd expect the image to auto ratate when reviewing in portrait mode, i.e turning the camera 90 deg to view the full image on the screen as the K7 does, It's not happening for some reason, been back to Pentax last week as well. Cheers

Raw and Jpeg
To explain further, the +1 sharpness in camera is done for a specific reason. fotoLibra, the online image library, specify certain parameters for the images uploaded for sale. One of these is that no Photoshop sharpening at all should be done, but it is OK to apply a small amount of sharpening in ca...

18:135 smc da won't autofocus for K20d
In autofocus mode my new 18:135 smc da lense will not always focus when I try to depress the button half way on my K20d. The focus indicator keeps flashing. To take a picture I have to put the camera in manual focus mode. Anybody have this problem and a solution?

18:135 smc da won't autofocus for K20d
I had a similar problem once or twice with my K5 and the 55-300 just after I bought the camera. The camera would focus on a contrasty subject on which you would have thought that it would have found focussing easy. However, the focus indicator continued to flash and the shutter refused to fire. I re...

18:135 smc da won't autofocus for K20d
AF is not perfect and there are subjects that fool it. In those circumstances, I focus on something else at the same distance, maybe use Quick Shift or indeed switch to manual focus.

marks on images, try different lens and still same place marks
This video from the people that make Eclipse fluid should de-mystify the procedure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67vLGotCFd0 Good little video clip, but he broke the cardinal rule of cleaning most items. You do not wipe the cleaning medium back across the item being cleaned. Take care.

You do not wipe the cleaning medium back across the item being cleaned. Indeed, but actually he didn't. For the return wipe, he bent the swab the other way, and used the other side.

suggestion to buy some old lens...thx
To begin with, the A lenses are nice and easy. The A50 f1.7 is a very good starting point. A lenses will work just like your kit lens, with the exception of manual focus, and you need to input the focal length to help the shake reduction work. M and K lenses are well worth trying too, as they are...

To check the focal length of the lenses, zoom in to 28mm and 50mm on your zoom! For me the 50mm is probably the natural first lens. Although of course it depends on what you like to shoot, but I think the very fast aperture of f1.7 will make owning the lens more worthwhile than the 28mm f3.5, whi...

For ease of use the A is better, set the aperture to "A" and it works like the current DA lenses but with manual focus only. However, the M is usually a lot cheaper. Optically they're identical, the SMC coating may have changed but that's all.

I'm not quite sure what you mean - are you talking about picking a lens in good condition from a shop's used stock? Take a small LED torch and your camera with you. First inspect the lens. Is it clean? Are there dents in the filter ring or lens barrel? Minor paint rubbing and "shine" on plasti...
