Unlike the Zigview which has to be slotted over the camera viewfinder this connects to th...

K5 Focus / Focus Screen Question
Hi all - Sorry I've not been around for a while. My son has a K5 (Mk1) and I'm not sure if there's a focusing issue with it. When the focus is set to single point and then focused on an object the red focus square focuses to the left of centre when looking through the view finder, it's not by ...

K5 Focus / Focus Screen Question
* Quick Update * I've done a reset to default settings and it's still the same. I have also done a few test shots and although the focus points aren't where they should be the image quality still looks fine. So, to summarise the original problem.... When looking through the view finder a...

K5 Focus / Focus Screen Question
Are you sure the camera is set to centre point focus and it hasn't been set to select focus points? If that is the problem, then selecting an off centre focus point by mistake could be the answer. If not, then a warranty repair or repair if it is a problem.

K5 Focus / Focus Screen Question
The position of the focus indicator "panel" has been known to move. IIRC it was reported on Ricehigh's page some time back. It's certainly adjustable by a technician.

K5 Focus / Focus Screen Question
I had this happen with the K10. In my case the screen had become slightly decentred in its frame. If you feel confident, you could try lowering the frame and then carefully relocate the screen. Google Pentax screen replacement for how to do this. Regards Steve

K5 Focus / Focus Screen Question
** Update ** Hi all, The K5 was returned to me today from SRS after a warranty repair at jp service solutions. The included paperwork says ~ replaced mirror box - clean, check & test. All seem to be working fine again. I don't know if it's just me but the auto focus seems a lot faster. ...

Stiff Focus Ring on SMC-F 50mm f1.7
You're likely on the right track. Clean carefully, again, and grease again. Look especially for a spec of debris embedded *in* the root of the thread. If nothing is obvious, try assembling dry then working the screw, then lok for a shiny area or material being shed.

Hi, sounds like it may have been dropped, causing a bit of distortion Regards Dave

K3 continuous focus.
I'm not finding it brilliant and wonder if there is a camera fault. Using either half shutter push or back button focus it tracks (not brilliantly) for approximately 5-10 secs and then just stops refocusing. If I release and repress I then get a confirmation bleep and it starts tracking again for an...

K3 continuous focus.
Have you updated the firmware to 1.02? I have noticed a difference. If my Sigma 150-500 OS misses focus it grinds back and forth through the focus range again till focus is achieved, once focused I have not had a problem keeping it there with AF.C and selc 2 (9 points). I think the secret is t...

K3 continuous focus.
Yes, have updated. In fact don't know if it was doing this locking before I updated because I hadn't extensively tested it before. It tracks for a while then just stops focusing till you release button and press again. I don't think that is right?
