K100 D Bttery level indicator
I have never had a device that is so fussy about AA's as my K100D. I think it all started a few years back after using lithium AA's for a bit. The battery meter then showed no charge on my freshly charged AA's nimh's... that time I eventually got it working fine again by using some fresh alkaline AA...

DA*300mm focus jammed...Again!
Back in August the focus mechanism on my Pentax DA*300mm jammed. First it would not AF past 4 foot and then the manual focus ring could not move it beyond that point. So I took back to SRS and they sent it off to be fixed and back it came working ok. But this weekend I was photographing some gu...

DA*300mm focus jammed...Again!
have you tried the jeweller's screwdriver in the AF screwdrive fix? What you have sounds like what happened to my 60-250, one twiddle and she's been fine since.

Is 200 asa the minimum on the K5?
John is right, it's the D-range. All Pentax DSLRs work in this way. By the way MGTS24, the quote in your sig is from Robert Capa and goes "If your pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough." Hello Jonathan-Mac, thanks for the Robert Capa reference. I have seen that quotation, and sev...

HDR Photomatix Help
If you are shooting RAW files you can open them in Photoshop with different exposures from the same single RAW file. Open in the RAW editor, move the exposure slider to plus one, then open into Photoshop. Go back to the original RAW file and do the same but reduce the exposure by minus one. Open aga...

Braun 370 BVC dismantling
After some thought and gently trying various things I managed to get it apart. Sometimes capacitors can hold a nasty charge and give you a shock. Be wary. There is no need to remove the cursor. One circuit board is at the back and there are contacts for the various controls that are on the bac...

K5 Battery Grip Problem
Thanx lads, tried giving things a nudge/tap and all seemed to be ok. I have a copy on my K7 so I just swapped them around to check and they both worked as they should! Put them back where they belong and all is well :D Thanx lads :wink:

K-r - AF severe problem
I bought the K-r body from SRS when they were selling the ex demo bodies in October. I was alerted to a focusing problem by a shot taken of the Little Harp, which I will post on the gallery. The only portion that appears in focus is the left hand edge. The centre and foreground are out of focus and ...

New LED monitor
Maria, I work in a company that produces software and we have all manner of monitors. Our developers use twin Phillips 27" monitors that are similar to your monitor and although they are sharp and bright we find them quite poor for the following: - Contrast is poor; blacks are grey, not black ...

New LED monitor
Hi all, I've been very struck by digital monitor connections taking a lot of the guesswork away from you present in the settings. Most adjustments are greyed out when using digital connection leaving brightness and contrast the biggies. The brightness calibration scale at the bottom of this forum...

New LED monitor
LED's must be dimmer than fluorescent back lighting I'd have thought. This is most definitely not the case Bill. LED backlit monitors should be capable of brighter and more contrasty images (in general) than those with CCFL backlighting. This depends of course on the quality of the monitor and its...

Upside Down Photographs - Pentax K-30

On the last 3 occasions one or two of those photographs when viewded in Lightroom will be upside down, i.e. rotated 180 degrees. At fi...

K20D - Focusing screen fell out ! ! !
I shoot images for a racing club at our local oval race track and I usually use two cameras. K5 with Sigma 70-200mm for car action, and K20D with DA* 50-135mm for closeups of the winners. Last night I was unable to use my K20D because the tray that holds the focussing screen became unclipped, dro...
