Catch in focus, again
The focal length info is important for the SR to work properly; with tubes I assume that you use a tripod and switch the SR off in which case it actually does not matter what you enter. The other effect is that the focal length that you entered is reflected in the EXIF data.

annoying feature of this forum
I've discovered an annoying thing too over the past few days, when I click on the 'back' button in IE I'm taken to a new blank page and it only happens here. Report filed.

K5 shutter jamming
I was shooting an equestrian event on Sunday and on four occasions my shutter jammed. The camera would not turn off without removing the battery and the shutter was jammed with the mirror up. Having removed the battery and reinserting it the shutter/mirror then reset to their normal positions. Af...

K5 shutter jamming
Not had that but did have the 'double shutter' problem I had before on a new K-5 that I've only had a few weeks! Problem seems to be heat in that case as it happened whilst in direct sunlight in Spain last weekend. Again removing batteries 'fixed' the problem and these were genuine items. You've ...

K5 shutter jamming
I've had the "freeze" problem a number of times with my still pretty new K-5, with both original and non-Pentax batteries. No suggestion of low power though - it can happen with a newly charged battery and with a depleted one. It does seem to happen when trying to take a number of shots while track...

K-5 doing odd things
I have recently updated the firmware to 1.13 and now no beep for focus confirmation, and I cannot find the change in the menus. Secondly, the LCD display did an odd thing when I reviewed a couple of test shots earlier, The display was like a very poor signal on a B+W television. Switched it off a...

Digital Camera Utility 4 won't let me edit some images
Ow no! Shouldn't there be a warning for this somewhere? For a while i had a problem with unpredictable 'greyed out' options in Camera Utility 4. It is probably Windows (Live Photo Gallery) that is the problem. Even when i thought to use Pentax Camera Utility 4 first, i noticed later that...

Editing a Gallery in LR4
Hi all I've used LR4 to create a couple of galleries but would like to be able to add to them in the future. I've tried to create a new one but I can't seem to use the pictures that have been imported once already - they stay greyed out in the import module. I've also had a good look for an...

K5 Lens Release Button
I remember something about that fault too Barrie, but surely your K5 is under warranty? I've only had mine 18 months. The quicker you get it off for repair the quicker you get it back.

K5 Lens Release Button
Camera back, having been repaired under warranty. So a very well done to JPS. Also I have to say the release button feels a lot firmer than the original ever did.

K5 Lens Release Button
The lens release button has fallen out of my K5 this morning. I think this has been raised before, but can't find it with a search. Can anyone help. My 2012 luck continues.:cry::cry: I have two K5s - it happened on my newest one but the older one (is it nearly 2 years since they were released ?) is ...

Using Helios 58mm on K-r
Today I tried using my Helios 58mm f2 lens from my old Zenit film camera, with a M42 to Pentax K adaptor (from Hong Kong) Obviously I needed to set the K-r focus to Manual but as I needed to set the aperture manually on the Helios lens I wasn't sure what to do about exposure settings ? I don't ha...

Using Helios 58mm on K-r
Hi Peter There are a couple of things that need to be checked with a K-r to shoot with manual lenses. Forgive me if you have already done any of these. Firstly you need you need to set 'use aperture ring' to 'permitted' in order to use manual lenses. Press the menu button. Press the left ...

Using Helios 58mm on K-r
Aha, I use this Helios lens on my K-r in Av mode and I can tell you it's capable of very nice images. You'll find you need to dial in plenty of exposure compensation in Av mode with this lens as you will with other m42 converted lenses with a plastic mount, something to do with the camera not thinki...

Using Helios 58mm on K-r
Thanks for the tip Brian. My converter is actually a shiny aluminium one (from China!) so I shouldn't have the same problem as you have with plastic ones ? Is your converter flangeless like mine (was:shock:!)? If so it fits inside the contact area of the camera body and although being aluminium...
