Back button af
Someone has been going around with the silly stick again :roll: I found BBF on the the K-7 I previously had to be excellent, never looked back. Not so useful on the K-50 though.

Does your K-7 have AutoFocus printed on the button or AF, Nigel?

8) I'm all for abbreviations on camera bodies ... It's just funny sometimes when they're used in writing don't you think ...I was confused originally by BIF ...(that's 'birds in focus ' right ? :wink:) ... So now we have to ask should BIFs be shot with BBF or SBF ....:)

I think BIF means "Birds in Flight" unless your in my local pub in which case the best 3 letter acronym to remember is RUN :mrgreen: --

Should BIF be shot with HSM/SDM/MF lenses.wether you use BBF/SBF is the choice of the user.There that should be as clear as MUD.

Been using BBF for a couple of months now, in combination with AF-C; much prefer it.

Red flame-out
The key is probably correct metering. If this was the full frame, then the background isn't excessively bright, but the flower is brighter so overall the exposure just might benefit from -0.3 to -0.7 EV adjustment, assuming the use of centre-weighted metering. This would hold back the red from being...

Red flame-out
This is an interesting thread and has prompted some very useful information. My recommendation when shooting red flowers is to take several test images and review them before you decide on your final settings. Also it can be useful to try different angles on the shot as the back ground can make ...

DA* 60-250 zoom stuck
I think you're right, John. Sadly the nearest camera place likely to have a lens is about 200 miles away - after we've left the scenic coast. Ah well - I'll just have to make do with 50mm :-) Thanks for the link, Carl. Just tried it but it doesn't seem to help. It does make me feel that this is a...

DA* 60-250 zoom stuck
OK so I was unable to source another lens while out there so had to make do with the 16-50. Before sending it off I thought I would have another go at getting it back to life. By pulling on the lens barrel gently I was able to get the lens to extend to its full length. Since then it has happily e...

Pentaxuser website, Difficulty viewing
I too prefer using my PC for the site. My Samsung Tab 3 7 inch tablet runs Android 4.4.2 and works fine (just tested it for you). Back on my PC the time taken to open the link in notification emails is slow.

Pentaxuser website, Difficulty viewing
A big improvement I've noticed with Firefox recently is that the Bookmarks Search (CTRL B) has been at long last made to work properly. If you enter say "Pentax lens 50mm" It lists all bookmarks containing the three words in any order..... so no need to enter the exact binary string. It's always ...

K3 top LCD panel failure?
My K3 is normally set to low illumination on the LCD panel. Menu C4/22. Last night while shooting dark scenes from an even darker position I noticed the LCD panel wasn't illuminated at all. Hardware failure I thought. However I noted the Menu doesn't allow OFF at all, greyed out. Only High and...

K3 top LCD panel failure?
Page 15 and 73 in the manual might help. The RAW/fx button can be programmed to switch the illumination on and off. Is this what has happened? Maybe you pressed the RAW button and hence turned it off? I find the RAW button the only one in the wrong place for me. The knuckle of my fore finger hits it...

Pentax K5 focusing issues
It sounds as though the camera needs a service / calibration. Focus issues with K-5's are well documented, but usually if you get a 'good 'un' it stays good. It's nigh on impossible for anyone on here to say exactly why yours is not performing as well as it did. My suggestion would be to send i...
