Viewfinder magnification?
I agree with that. I wear glasses and already a DSLR viewfinder is as far away as is reasonable. Add something to it and you'll see even less of the screen. If anyone is having trouble viewing a screen clearly, don't forget that the dioptre adjustment should be made with the lens defocused or rem...

Viewfinder magnification?
And Algernon, did not know that fact on the OM series. Though I guess different people have different preferences. For me, I really do enjoy the larger image - somehow I can FEEL the composition that I like more instinctively. Some say inverting the image helps them in composition by allowing th...

Viewfinder magnification?
I was finding it difficult to focus manual lens (e.g. M lenses of which I have far too many!) on my K-5IIs so I bought a KPS UMC magnifying eyepiece. This provides 1.3x magnification and is vey easy to fit. The eyecup is about 1.4cms in depth and so creates a protrusion over the LCD viewer. However,...

Light/dark area real-time indication in Live View
Hi Nigel In Live view with manual exposure settings you should be able to adjust the shutter speed and / or aperture and instantly see the effect on the LCD. I am away from home at present but when I get back I will check on my K-5IIs and K-3 to see what happens. Regards David

Light/dark area real-time indication in Live View
Hi Nigel, Yes, I quite agree, you can check the histogram in the Live View. My point is though that on the K5 any subsequent changes made to exposure settings are not then reflected in either the histogram or the 'blinkies' - you have turn Live View off then back on again to see the effect of sai...

Light/dark area real-time indication in Live View
That seems strange .. I need to go and check it on the K7, which should work in the same way. I am sure I have seen the histogram on the live view screen move up and down and change shape as I'm changing the exposure value, by whatever means (usually the shutter speed being adjusted in manual mode)....

Focus adjustment
I've just bought a (used) Sigma 10-20mm and find it's back focusing, I've tried adjusting in camera but +/_ 10 is not enough, does anyone know what I can do? :( It's worse at 20mm than 10mm but I can't get it spot on using 'focus adjustment' in camera

What body are you using and do your other lenses need a lot of adjustment?

I'm using the K5. No, all other lenses are ok

Focus adjustment
I have the same combo and I have also found that the Sigma 10-20 sometimes causes the top LCD to scroll through the setting flashing numbers as it goes. I have found that making sure the lens is seated as far clockwise as possible assists the connections. I doubt this is the case with you as it s...

Yes i've adjusted as much as possible and it makes a difference but the maximum of 10 is not enough

Focus adjustment
Only thing I can think of now is to make an adjustment set to all lenses as to make a base adjustment. This can be up to 10. Then make a lens adjustment up to 10 for the Sigma. This, I think, will effectively give up an adjustment of up to 20. The other lenses though would then need correcting...

Focus adjustment
The base adjustment would require the debug menu to be accessed. This allows a global adjustment for all lenses, but is only of any use if the camera is focussing wrongly to a similar extent with all lenses, like one of my K-x's used to do. If it's just the 10-20 that is significantly out, the onl...

Hi David, The K5 does have both adjustments available within the regular user interface without going to debug. I'm probably with you though the best option is to have the lens looked at....cheers.

i think what David is saying is that it is either one or the other, you cannot have both in camera. you use a programme "PK Tether" to access debug mode and apply a global setting then either +or - as required. you do this with camera af adjust settings reset to zero before you start as you are in f...

D-BG5 grip failing on K3
Sorry can't help, but one thing is certain, don't make the same mistake as I did when my K3 failed and my 160c ring flash went on the blink; Do not involve Ricoh, Pentax Eu or Johnsons Photopia; work only through the retailer, in my case SRS who after one month of silence from Ricoh/Pentax repla...

Thank you Daron and John. Daron, the length of your comment seems to express the level of your frustration. :lol:I had to send older bodies for post-warranty repairs and in both cases sent them to the official Pentax service provider in ... Germany. It worked well, just a few additional pounds f...

Hi Folks, Help to resolve this, please: have been transferring photos (Jpeg) from my K5 ii s onto my iMac (2013) using Photoshop Elements 12 via a card reader. When card (Sandisk extreme) inserted back into camera it says 'no image'. Images were not deleted inadvertently or not. Same thing happe...
