k20d cards not going into the sd slot
at the end of a job the other day the cards I tried wouldn't fit all the way into the SD slot. I tried shutting it off then turning it back on. Felt like something was stopping the card from going far enough that it does the little click into place. Got home and awoke the next day thinking I'd h...

*ist ds problem
Hi, it was the lens, when I took it off the lever at the side is very sticky, doesn't move freely at all, so that's going back, got my new lens on now and that works fine. :)

Messed-up clearing viewfinder
Not sure if the K-5 is the same as the K-x and K-m in the viewfinder dept, but with these cameras it's pretty simple to remove the focussing screen, clean it and put it back. It's held in place by a small metal spring bracket that is shaped to fit around the sides of the screen and that clips it to...

Messed-up clearing viewfinder
Yeah I agree with all of the above , I made a little tool out of a paper clip and it was a piece of cake to remove and change the focus screen. But the screen is very delicate ,I carefuly tried to clean the one I removed with a sensor cleaning pad and fluid and killed it .... jeff

Messed-up clearing viewfinder
Usually it should be just a quick dust with a dry microfibre cloth/tissue or a blow with the Rocket Blower - it should not need more than this. Yeah I agree with all of the above , I made a little tool out of a paper clip and it was a piece of cake to remove and change the focus screen. But the s...

Messed-up clearing viewfinder
I know what you mean, Ken, as the tweesers slipped a few times, resulting in a now scratched screen. I was shaking like a leaf trying to get it back in, which didn't help matters. It was still dirty when I eventually got it back in, so I had another go after walking the dog (less shaking when ...

K-r Firmware problem, assistance, please.
When you unzip the downloaded file you should get a readme.txt file and another one called Fwdc209b.bin - is that part working ok? The Fwdc209b.bin file is the one that you put on the SD card for the camera to load from. You don't put it in a directory, you put it on the card (i.e. the root direc...

Super-Multi-Coated TAKUMAR 85mm F1.8 problem
Hallo again I found this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rlDO5Qj6cU can i expect a similar approach? It is not only the front element that wobbles, it feels like it's the entire barrel, the moves back and forth when you focus, that wobbles. Regrads M.Fog

Long exposure / light photography (painting)
Hi Stephanie Depends what you mean by your attempts not working. I'm assuming that you mean that you weren't able to get a long enough exposure for the effect to work in which case you have two choices. (This obviously applies to your K-x - you won't be able to achieve this with an i-pad or ph...

Long exposure / light photography (painting)
I'm very new to Photography but have read a little about this. I have taken a few traffic Trails which i think have turned out well. I also have a K-x. I would recommend getting an IR remote shutter release as this allows you to go past the 30 sec mark and use Bulb Mode. With the remote you can ...

HDR
Hi daftpunk - here some tips that I learned when starting to do HDR. The HDR starts already when taking a picture - when not planning to work with pseudo-hdrs based on a single RAW picture, you need a series of at least three, better 5 pictures. To get the overexposed and underexposed pics, I shoo...

Gallery pop-up - I4s Winner?
I use Firefox as well, the pop up seems to be random, there for a bit then goes only to come back the next day etc - it isnt my PC, I am fairly sure on that score. How do we report to IT (or am I being thick). Clare

K5 dead on 1.11 Fware update
Hi all from a newbee. Just got a new K5 from Jessops with firmware 1.01. Did a shoot out on a night out on Friday and no issues (except maybe focussing). Thought I'd update the firmware especially after reading the low light focusing issue comments. Latest looks to be v1.11 which I got from htt...

K5 dead on 1.11 Fware update
Package it up and take it back to Jessops. Some people would conveniently forget to tell them they were updating the firmware when it died .. personally I wouldn't but a lot of people would. :D
