flaring
Sounds like focus peaking. I've got it activated on my k30. Turn it off in the menu of you don't like it (under live view settings)

flaring
Yes the focus peaking was turned on, I have turned it off for the time being and will see how we go. But I notice on the live view option looking a quite close indoor objects the condition still tends to show. Sorry michaelblue, I did mean K30 Many thanks for your feedback. Barry:

Filter woes
Gosh. Not sure... my thoughts are: was it raining, giving droplets on the filter? was the viewfinder covered (otherwise light could leak in through that) and was the filter as close to the front of the lens as you could get it? otherwise you may have got some reflection from the back of the filter i...

Filter woes
For whatever reason, the diaphragm is reflected back onto the filter. It might be caused by a particular light source angle, or so many other reasons...:?::?::?:

Filter woes
Thanks for all the suggestions. If I put them all together I'll probably arrive at the solution to what I did. Went back later and tried again. Things I did check were the filter was in the holder straight and the gasket as far as I could see was tight all round and viewfinder was covered. I kn...

K-x and timer/hotshoe flash weirdness
The double flash may well be a pre-flash for exposure followed by the main flash. Or possibly a red-eye reduction pre-flash. It needs switching off, so back to the instruction manual I think!

Digital Photos Recovery
Hope someone has an answer. I mistakenly deleted all my photos on an external drive. Have a second back-up but some very recent photos I hadn't saved in second drive. Have used PhotoRecovery and appear to have gotten all these photos back. Problem is I can see them all in thumbnails but when I op...

Shake Reduction Button
Hiya, I'm proudly using a hand-me down K20d from my old man, a Pentax enthusiast. When he gave it to me he had managed to knock off the Shake Reduction button located on the back, bottom right. Does anyone have any idea either a) where I can get a replacement button from, or b) if there is a wa...

Shake Reduction Button
Evening John and big thanks for getting back to me so quickly! After a quick play about, it seems it's switched off permanently. Is there anywhere I can take this in to or will it need to be sent off to a Pentax repairer? I'm loathe to send it anywhere tbh and would probs just put up with it if th...

how do you link to flickr
You don't get an icon, just a box of text you copy and paste. I do now i have opted out and reverted back to the old method. On the news tyle image page there is no such option.

Giottos ball head panorama knob
Not sure if this is a fault or not? When the knob to release the "panorama" section is loosened is the head supposed to be able to be turned 360° without eventually unscrewing from the base or are you supposed to turn it back till it tightens again. Just noticed this yesterday when using it. Hope t...

Giottos ball head panorama knob
Aren't you supposed to physically lift the triopod and rotate everything through 360° and then put it back on the ground :mrgreen: It does sound odd if it's unscrewing though. It sounds like the 360° rotation yoke is too stiff and it's unscrewing off the triopod bush..... in which case try t...

live view back focussing
Live View isn't 100% accurate. Try focusing from the infinity side mark on the lens until it's in focus and put a mark on the lens using some sticky paper. Repeat from the Minimum Focus end of the scale and mark again. You will probably finish up with 2 marks a small distance apart. It would be i...

live view back focussing
With any lens test you also need to repeat the focus-shoot loop at least 4 times and pick out the best. --

LR4 - What am I doing wrong?
SORTED!! Thanks to everybody for their suggestions - none of which solved the problem but I did learn something about exporting that I had not realised and the comments did help me focus on the issue. Turns out the issue was not LR4 at all- the issue was with Picasa and the photo viewer. Turns...

*ist DL2 shut down
What batteries are you using? Had same problem with my *istDS. Changed from AA to CR-V3 Lithium and it worked fine. Apparently AA are for back-up only and should not be used for extended periods of time! Regards Tony
