Out of focus or blur?
Unluckily without scientific method is almost impossible to prove, but keep an eye on it for me as well. I will do more and more tests minding how to hold the camera as it's part of the problem too.

K50 Repair - Trustworthy Quote
Hi All, I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. My daughter has just finished her photography GCSE which means I get my K50 back. The only problem is that the shutter release button does not appear to travel as far as it did - the movement from nothing to full depression is har...

K50 Repair - Trustworthy Quote
That's a good point actually, do you have any comeback via the seller on this? In New Zealand, we have a consumer guarantees act that covers the buyer for a 'reasonable time' after purchase. That wording means it gets slugged out at hearings, but typically a camera shutter button should work for...

K50 Repair - Trustworthy Quote
If the repair costs do turn out to be excessive then maybe a workaround solution would be to go into the menu, disable focusing from the shutter button, and set it to back button focusing.

Pentax Photo Gallery Problem is Continuing
I have noted that the K1 is still unlisted but it maybe because the K1 has a dedicated site where you can post images but not sure otherwise why they don't include their flagship DSLR if that is not the case. Even if that were the case (doubtful) it does not explain why the DFA 24-70 or DFA 150-45...

Pentax k-30 Sandisk Ultra 32 GB class10 card - card memory error on cameara startup or format card
Have you tried formatting the card? The option to do that is in set-up 3 (see page 219 of the camera manual.) If that doesn't solve it I'd try a different card as it might be faulty. Given there have been six firmware updates for the K-30 it might be a good idea to update it anyhow, but you'll n...

K-r and Energizer lithium AA batteries
I have just bought some Energizer batteries for the K-r as my Eneloops were giving less than 200 shots. When I put them in and switched on the info screen came up but when I depressed the shutter release the sign came up 'Batteries depleted'. Since then I have tried everything possible to find out ...

K-r and Energizer lithium AA batteries
I don't think that the voltage is too high. I used to have a K-x which I used to run mainly off NiMh rechargeables rated at 1.2v each x4 but did on one occasion run off 4 lithium AA perfectly well. Lithium AA are generally about 1.7v ex factory each x4. As you can appreciate the camera would operate...

K-r and Energizer lithium AA batteries
Thanks Karlo, that deals with the battery voltage query nicely. I have just read another post which raised the difference between battery voltage under load and without load. I can test this but not sure how much resistance the camera places on the battery, therefore what resistor to use. Thank...

K-r and Energizer lithium AA batteries
Thanks for your persistence John, in trying to help. You will be interested to hear that I have now proved that the batteries are dud. I tested them under load and the meter first reported a voltage of 6.4 and then started jumping through a random cycle of lower values right down to zero and back...

K-r and Energizer lithium AA batteries
Hi Martin, that's the same charger I use. Excellent. Still available for £32 posted. It really sorts out the good from the bad. I left it running on the Lidyl 3200 and it couldn't get any of them past 1200 mAh :lol: It can't charge batteries that are at 0 volts, so if you have an old cheap bog st...

K30 battery retaining clip
Hi all, the other day I took the battery out of my K30 to recharge it. When I pushed the retaining clip back it broke in half. Has anyone else had this problem? At the moment I'm using a piece of thin card to push the battery forward to maintain electrical contact. ...

K30 battery retaining clip
It happened to my K30 recently. It seems to work fine without the retainer in place. I expected it to fail so I carried some adhesive foam (draught excluder) with me to stick to the back of the battery door to give extra pressure onto the battery. I didn't need it, but I'm not confident. I think it ...

Odd manual focus problem - DA* 60-250 + 1.4x DA HD Teleconverter
This is a newly developed fault which I don't remember seeing until this weekend. Essentially, if I try to manual focus while the lens is connected to the teleconverter, I can go from infinity to close smooth as butter. However if I try to go the other way, the ring "catches" a lot and doesn't al...

Odd manual focus problem - DA* 60-250 + 1.4x DA HD Teleconverter
Solved. Thinking it through, I realised the only mechanical link between the two parts that could affect focusing was the screwdrive. So I checked the screwdrive on the teleconverter, rotated it and pushed it in a couple of times. It "clicked" then everything went back to normal.

KS-2 Problem with back screen
Hi All My well used but never abused KS-2 has lost any power to its back screen. Camera appears to be functioning as normal but nothing on the screen. I have twisted and turned the screen, reset info and menu, switched on and off (works for computers) and used a fully charged genuine battery. ...

KS-2 Problem with back screen
You haven't by chance accidentally pressed the info button in such a way to turn the screen off have you? Though with that it should still show captured images, so if it doesn't do that either perhaps a wire has broken of come adrift as you say. If you haven't tried it, see if you can playback ima...

KS-2 Problem with back screen
you could pick a a nearly new or ex demo camera for around the same price as the repair quote. That's so often the case with electronics these days. I hope you find a magic button to press to revive the screen Peter.

K&F fish eye adapter
I bought one of those and it works relatively well. I will post some photos when I have the time but right now I have a problem with it and I'd like to understand it. The lens can't focus at infinity with it on top. Is it possible that it's due to the ring adapter I had to use to fit it on a 49mm le...
