645D 55mm kit lens focus ring issues
Ken, Thank you for your reply. In my excitement to start using the camera I did not notice the characteristics of the lens, so I assume they were already there. Chris

645D issues
Hello, Can anyone tell me if they experience the shutter tripping when using the depth of field preview on their 645D? I am using the Optical Preview through the viewfinder, which is the default setting. I am not using the Digital Preview. When i release the main on/off preview switch, to retur...

645D issues
Your smc D-FA 645 55mm F2.8 lens employs the "Quick-Shift" focus mechanism. I'm not sure if the 1mm 'delay' is normal, but it is normal for the focus ring to continue turning after the min & max focus limits have been reached. It uses some kind of slipping clutch mechanism to achieve this. Essent...

Any ideas what is happening here?
I bought the K5 last week, but to day, after some sunny weather noticed the effect in the top right hand of the 1st photograph and all across the 2nd. I was just playing with the settings. I thought it was the lens so I looked back at the first ones I had taken last week and the same effect was the...

Hi Gamka and dougf8 and thanks for the reply. Yes, the camera is new to me Upgrade from a K-r) Not that I know of and nothing is indicated in the Pentax utility exif.

Hi folks- just trying to catch up with you. I'm looking at the process they have been through. They were DNG's originally. They were converted to jpeg in faststone for posting purposes. The effect shows in faststone as well as lightroom and in the Pentax/ SillyPics utility. The church (they do it bi...

If they were DNGs, then try Pentax Digital Camera Utility - first check the shots in the Image Preview pane. This will display the embedded JPEG created by the camera - this will tell you if it is to do with camera processing. Then select the image in the browser to open it for editing in PDCU and c...

Ok- thanks Greg- I had just imported straight into Silkypics from file and got the same results. I then came and read your bit, and went back and followed your process and it was still there. Looked at some other shots, picked one, bought up the exposure and could not see what I knew was there befor...

Any ideas what is happening here?
It is faststone, I had exactly the same outcome when on holiday in Scotland and used my laptop to post some shots to flickr, the laptop has faststone on it only. Once I got home I processed the same shots with Lightroom and no banding appeared. I now only use fast stone as a quick raw viewer to dele...

Hi all- it appears the mystery is solved. Following the advice below I have adjusted the Faststone settings as suggested. Artifacts gone totally- even off that 2nd shot I posted, but it is painfully slow (on my PC) and the a JPEG conversion at 100% is rather large so no example as no time to go bac...

Pentax remote Assistant and RAW
I set up the camera and PC to take a series of pictures of back garden and it started OK then failed. It would seem light is the real problem if there is loads of light it works well as light levels fall it fails. The smaller the file size the lower the light can go but even on smallest Jpeg it will...

Totally stopped? Try manually focussing and turning it on/off several times and doing a manual focus to assist it when it should auto focus.

I usually use Alan but he was a bit reluctant to do my 50-135mm so I sent it to Johnsons. If I remember correctly the quote was approx £180 to fix the lens (new SDM motor) but if you join PU plus (£10) you get a 20% discount, so worth doing. On the plus side I always found the 50-135mm very slow ...

Harrow mainly do 35mm stuff. I'm afraid Johnson's is about it. I hope you don't need the lens for anything soon... Hi kris I will not want the lens soon probably at Whitby in april:D You might get it back from Johnson's by then if you send it off now...
