Manual focus lens on K5
If you've only just bought it and it has proved faulty, can you return it for replacement or refund as not fit for purpose? You shouldn't have to get involved in organising repairs for something you've just bought unless it was from a boot sale or similar, but even then I've returned faulty cameras...

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...

so are you getting the F-- displayed on the rear screen and are you getting MF diplayed? try giving the contacts on the body a good clean and the mounting face of the lens assuming it is a polished base on the lens and not anodised or coated in any way as all the pins on the body have to be shorte...

Manual focus lens on K5
Just a clarification. When you say manual focus lenses, do you mean manual everything lenses, like the old M and K series, or do they have an 'A' setting for the aperture like the Pentax-A series as these can require manual focussing so would fit your description of 'manual focus lenses' but they a...

I hope I am not stating the obvious, but if your your Mode dial is set at 'User' this will disable option 27 and if you happen to mount a M lens without enabling shake reduction, the camera will not request the focal length of your lens. Roger

It won't ask if shake reduction is turned off.

Manual focus lens on K5
I've just gone through the whole lot on mine. It works as detailed above. The only other thing I can think of is, what is the program dial set for? (The big one on the top on the left). If it's an all-manual lens it might need to be set to M ? I just put an SMC M 50mm onto the camera. I turned it o...

Another tip...... If you are using a "K" or M lens and want to shoot at wide open only, you can also use Av mode. The camera will set the shutter speed for you, but it will meter and take the shot at widest aperture, irrespective of what you have set the aperture ring to.

If you are using K/M lenses if you partially demount the lens about 10 degrees you can use it in av mode

I presume this is because you will have rotated the lever at the rear of the lens away from the actuator on the camera that normally holds the iris open?

Strange colours on LCD K3
Sounds like a Custom Image preset has been set .... Maybe cross-processed or similar. Go and change the preset back to natural or bright for example. The Custom Image settings only apply to the JPEG output, and the effects are displayed on the LCD. You access the custom image settings with the...

K-3 Rear LCD screen problem
Hi, I recently updated my firmware on my K-3 to 1.30 and all was well for a few weeks. Yesterday the camera just locked up mid-use and would not budge. I took the battery out and put it back in again. This got the camera working again but the rear LCD screen does not display the standard setting sc...

K3 power failure
Probably worth confirming that the battery wasn't put in upside down per Jaks post, Or, and I have no idea if this is possible, can the camera be set to only get power from the grip even though a battery is inserted in the body? If so, was the grip fitted? If it appears that the buyer knows what...

Suggestion on selling a 17-70 with SDM issue (that can be fixed)
Hello, Since I bought the k1, the 17-70 is not used anymore. It's a beatiful lens, but as many of those is affected by SDM issues. However with the trick to focus up and down a couple of times it works again and will work for the whole session. This process must be re-done every time the lens is ...

yeah apparently they good one go for 200 pounds. I made a video to show how easy is to wake up the auto focus, but I guess I will not get more than 150 pounds from it. Not sure if it's worth to sell it, especially knowing how much I spent on it (including several repairs!). On the other side, I have...
