It's probably not this site. Adobe own you and can do whatever they like :shock: Looks like they have stripped out the MAKER INFO and put in at least 500 lines of their own mush :mrgreen: They've even removed the 'shutter count' Write to them very nicely and ask them if you can have your cam...

K5 autofocus - bounces, grinds and locks camera
Hi all My K5 autofocus is behaving very strangely and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas how to address it. It tends to snap to a decent initial focus point, but then slowly creep the focus out-of-focus, then snap the focus back and then creep again. The AF motor is generally going mad. ...

k5 white balance
Further to Nigel's post, if you want to alter the white balance for a particular scene, you could use one of the Kelvin settings (K1, K2 or K3). Take a test shot, then alter the Kelvin temperature until it looks close, then adjust the colour tone grid as Nigel has written. If Auto WB is left at its ...

K3 autofocus not working
The auto focus on my K3 appears to be faulty and I would be grateful for any advice as to the problem before I return it for repair under warranty. I wonder if I have an incorrect setting somewhere or have hit the wrong button! The symptoms occur with sdm lenses and screw drive lenses but all th...

Left bar flashing in bracketing mode (K-5 II)
OK. Just to close this off I have worked out why one of the vertical bars flashes when you have auto bracketing set. It indicates the order in which the bracketed exposures will be taken. More specifically it tells you the first exposure to be taken. So I have the order set (for 3 exposures) to ...

Experiencing Focus Issues for First time and need help
I have been shooting all film for the last few months but lifted the K-5 with the 50 135 for the first time today to take some shots for a friend. To my horror when shooting at apertures of 2.8, 3.5 and even 4 were slightly out... I know how to find the focussing correction thing on the camera b...

Experiencing Focus Issues for First time and need help
Sue a tripod, first shot in AF mode the in live view. Maintain same distance and settings and see if the lens shows a distance difference. Live view is the accurate one, so if there is a difference in AF mode distance recalibrate and shoot (+\-)

smc da 50-135 f2.8 autofocus fault
The SDM focus motor had probably given up, it's a fairly common problem with older copies of the 50-135mm and 16-50mm. It will work fine on your K100D as that uses 100% screw drive whereas the K-5 will use the SDM. Repair cost is approximately £180-£200.

K-3 - this one needs a service badly!
Not there today - good job when looking at the weather here in W.London although it is beginning to brighten up as I type. I assume the MZ-7 takes (IIRC) 2x CR2 like my old MZ-5N (now sold) - but there appear to be fake duracells on the market in some places (Trading Standards found them). Al...

K-3 - this one needs a service badly!
Hope you're having a better 2nd day. I was gutted as I took my MZ-7 with a few rolls of b/w Ilford. Wanted to shoot some personnel in uniform. Unfortunately on the 1st frame the camera froze with mirror up!! 😕 Put new duracell batteries in and still no reaction, showed low battery?? (Date...

K-3 - this one needs a service badly!
Rob Pretty similar settings except that I was using TAV as I normally do (generally ISO 200-1600), and Hold focus at High (Level 4) which I have seen recommended in several posts here and elsewhere. John PS: we had some rain late last night, and it's pretty murky in the London area but no r...

K-3 - this one needs a service badly!
Just to add further bits to my first post: - most of the time I had the OS switched ON, but when I switched it OFF then the images were even worse. - anti-aliasing filter was switched OFF - the body is at f/ware V1.21 I'm not the steadiest of hands(left handed too) so I'm sure my technique plays...

K-3 - this one needs a service badly!
In this in Leads to Deals, we got talking about issues for the Sigma 100-300 F4, and it looks like my copy may need a new board to correct severe back focus - if that board is still available! However, at Duxford today I took a lot of shots with the K3 set to AFC, 1st Shot Focus Priority and Foc...

K-3 - this one needs a service badly!
In the short period that I owned the K-3 I could never work out the benefit of focus hold when doing Airshows. I thought the whole idea of that was to keep lock on the subject as it passed by something else .. which is unlikely when photographing a single plane in the sky. BTW, made it to Yeovilt...

K-3 - this one needs a service badly!
I have tried the focus hold when shooting the jets in the loop to specifically hold on the 1st jet when on the odd occasion maybe a 2 ship or more enter the viewpoint and I want to hold on the nearest subject. Didn't work for me anyways. I personally leave the focus point unlocked (if this makes ...
