No icon preview for PEF files on Mac
Uh oh... on my other machine, I tried your suggestion Don and mine now show the "exec" icon preview! :shock: doh! But it does show there must be some kind of thumbnail linking issue. When I switch back to what I had, the Adobe icon shows. Maybe something has got twisted in the preferences or plis...

No icon preview for PEF files on Mac
I got the 'Exec' icon too when setting Preview as the default. Reverted back to Photoshop and the generic PEF icon returned, but still no thumbnail. I'll have to switch my K20D to DNG mode or use Bridge of PEF file management. M.

K-5 horizontal alignment issues
Worth verifying what happens if you switch off horizon correction for exactly this reason. Cheers Chris, I've just tested this and with Horizon Correction turned off the camera now takes straight images! I didn't even realise it was switched on, is it turned on by default? I think the camera sti...

af360FGZ failure
My flashgun seems to have died.Recently I have noticed that if I turned it off without fully discharging it, it would not charge when turned back on again. removing the batteries overnight seemed to reset it so it worked again. Now, however, it will not charge at all. The screen comes on, but the...

af360FGZ failure
Been back in touch with currys and they have offered me £44 as a partial refund. They will also let me keep the flash, so I can put the money toward a repair. Better outcome than I was expecting, so have accepted it. Just need to find someone to repair it now Thanks Paul

Pentax Optio S12 fault
Hi Steven and John, thank you for your posts. The camera is about two years old. I tried charging the battery again at a different socket - it lasted about 30 minutes then the green light went out - so I assume there must have been some charge already on the battery. When I turn the camer...

extended eyepiece
It is possible to get eyepieces similar to that for Pentax, although all the ones I have seen are magnifiying eyepieces (so may limit field of view through the viewfinder - although help with manual focussing), and from an earlier vintage than the current cameras, and I am not sure whether they fit ...

I agree with Dr. O that the images on the Gallery are soft, there must be something going on within the upload process that is compressing them, even when the originals are in a suitable size and format. I find this less so on the click through version, but it is still an issue. With regard to t...

I was tempted to respond to George's comments yesterday, but refrained because the subject is off-topic (as pointed out by Dr.O) and I just thought it was better we just moved on from this attempt to sow rancour and discord. I don't think postings like 'One member floods the gallery with third-r...

My take on the gallery is that people can and should use it as they please. I do agree that people should be as honest as they can be (in a diplomatic and humble manner of course) rather than expressing too much praise on shots that aren't really that amazing. But people's viewpoints and experience ...

Well Gentlemen, perhaps a PM is the best place to continue your discussion, but in any case it's getting a bit off topic in this discussion. I would not discourage anybody from posting pictures, but equally I do think that sometimes the superlatives dished out are a bit over-enthusiastic. Usua...

Do you have a k-r with an AA adapter?
Charlotte, sorry for late reply, i've only just got back to my machine to check how this thread was going. Glad to hear that my thoughts were on a similar line of thinking... With regard to the internal cut-off voltage, you might have to contact Pentax technical support or an authorised repair...

Do you have a k-r with an AA adapter?
Hi Peter, The camera is virtually unusable at the moment - the batteries are inserted correctly and the camera is set on Battery type auto. The mirror keeps jamming up, continually 'flipping' or sticking so I end up with either a long exposure when I've chosen a fast 'shutter speed' or not takin...

Do you have a k-r with an AA adapter?
Thanks for that - 'tas cheered me up a bit. I think that a camera that cost me nearly £500 should last a bit longer than 18 months or so. I think I posted on here back in march that it had started to play up and had decided after buying an adapter for AA batteries it seemed to have solved the pro...
