FA*28-70 focussing
I sold my FA* 28-70mm f2.8 last year, but my version could focus just past infinity, similar to other zooms I have had. The focusing on this lens was very precise and fast on my K-5. I must mention that my zoom had had an expensive and thorough service where, amongst other things, the power zoom mot...

FA*28-70 focussing
I've had no issues with my FA* 28-70mm - fast & accurate focus. Have you tried checking the underneath of the focus ring for any small piece of debris that might be causing a jam - a gentle & cautious poke with a needle might do the trick.

FA*28-70 focussing
Tried everything, the focussing ring moves freely when the AF switch is disengaged (ie pulled back) - the screw moves only so far. It just feels like there is a physical jams stopping the mechanism moving....also doesn't feel like it's small debris either, the ring is smooth.

image recovery
got home from holiday and was transferring images from camera to computer and deleted a folder in error, is there a decent free recovery tool to get them back or at least one not too expensive?

K-5 Sensor temperature overheat and fail
On my recent holiday to Vietnam I took my K-5 which I've had from new (shutter count 15k) with me as well as a K-x I bought here on the forum. The K-5 worked fine in very hot and humid temperatures where it was regularly about 35 to nigh on 40 degrees C. One day that was not incredibly hot I took a ...

Problems with MediaImpression
Thanks for your response, John. When I access the Control Panel in my computer and bring up Add and Remove Programs, the listing shows that Pentax MediaImpressions 2.0 is installed. However, when I try to remove it (with the intent to reinstall it), I get a message "An installation support file c...

Anyone ever had any problems with the Kit lens?

Anyone ever had any problems with the Kit lens?
If the lens and camera worked together well in the past (or even if not used together before) it may be the simple job of cleaning your auto focus sensor. It is located in the bottom of the camera body, lock your mirror up as if cleaning the sensor and you'll see it nestling in the bottom of the cam...

Anyone ever had any problems with the Kit lens?
Take several close ups and see if its consistent (focus on something like a specific point in a newspaper page.) If it is consistently out use the AF Fine Adjustment to adjust back/front focus: Custom menu 26, page 126 in the manual.

Warning system damaged on Google??
Now I could be premature but I may have fixed it on my device. Noticed last time it did it, if I pressed back several times I'd get the Google page saying the page was unresponsive but it gave the full URL. On this it mentioned it being a 3D banner so I got a wondering, in the app manager I locat...

I messed up my prints, how to restore them?
Hey, So one day I decided to sort out the prints from my film cameras, I got rid of the poor ones, dated and added names with short descriptions on the backs of the keepers. Having finished all of that, to my horror I realised that the ink had transferred from the back of the photos to the ph...

I messed up my prints, how to restore them?
I have come across this link which might help http://www.popphoto.com/gear/2011/07/how-to-scan-negatives-using-standard-scanner-0 I appreciate that it is a bit late now, but if you want to put identifying detail onto the back of prints, a soft pencil e.g. 6B is probably the safest as the graphite...

Anyone having issues with new k3 firmware update?
Is this where you get garbled, streaky images. They look fine when viewed on the back of the camera but once downloaded the weirdness happens. I think I know what you are talking about, I have seen something like this before on a very few occasions however that was before the upgrade. I haven't see...

Hi all, I have been using manual focus lenses on my K10D for a long time. Having now bought a K5 I am experiensing problems getting even started with my new camera and manual focs lenses. I have set "allow aperture ring" and subsequently when mounting the lens and switching the camera on I seem ...

Manual focus lens on K5
The process should be the same. You won't need to enter a focal length if you are using an A series lens, in which case just set the aperture ring on A and let the camera control the aperture. In what way are you "stuck" after switching on the camera, can you be more specific?

Manual focus lens on K5
As John says, the process is the same - the only suggestion that I can make is to 'Reset custom functions' in the Custom menu. I have just fitted a manual lens to my K5 and the input focal length notice came up as usual Mick

Manual focus lens on K5
Just realized that the camera doesnīt save my changes in the custom setting when I change it to "allow aperture ring". I change it, then press "ok" and finally "menu". When turning the camera off and then back on again the setting in "aperture ring" is back "not allowed" mode... So first step for me...

Manual focus lens on K5
It's item 27 on the custom menu. Select the item, move the setting to Permitted and then click OK. The item should now show it is set to option 2. That should be it.

Manual focus lens on K5
The only other thing to check is the memory setting in the capture menu, which selects which items are retained after the camera is switched off. However, I had a quick look and saw nothing that affected the problem you are experiencing. If all else fails, contact JPS for advice as a repair may b...
