Pentax K3 ii and back Button Focusing
How is the focus on static things? You may need to do some focus adjustment. Won't help with tracking, but might improve the results when it does.

Pentax K3 ii and back Button Focusing
How is the focus on static things? You may need to do some focus adjustment. Won't help with tracking, but might improve the results when it does. Static focusing is pretty good provided I use the half press shutter method. Probably no sharper than the K5 ii but as the detail from the sensor is bett...

Pentax K3 ii and back Button Focusing
Hand held Sigma 150-500 at 500mm, 1/500 sec, ISO 100, spot focus. These are images of Little Egret, before and after cropping. I dont think there is much wrong with the focusing although I did use some sharpening in RAW edit and I applied PSE editor's shake reduction to tweak it a little more, it w...

Pentax K3 ii and back Button Focusing
The sample images look pretty good to me even as small as they are. When I use BBF, and its generally on larger metal birds in flight than the feathered variety, I have spot focusing enabled.

When you use BBF and spot focus do you have to keep the plane in the centre of frame for BBF to stay locked on it?[/quote] Not generally, but it helps to keep the largest part within the spot focu...

Re Tethering to Lightroom Classic

Its Capture One that doesnt accept Pentax camera's Is that on a laptop or desktop? I use ImageSync on my iPad for tethering to the K1 occasionally which gives exposure ...

Now I need to remember to change it back when I use the other lenses :-) I leave mine set as above, imo no need to change it back, then whenever you use an older lens ( non A lens ) it just works as it should

Firmware update failure
Thanks for that, Peter. However, I’m pretty sure that I removed both SD cards before reinserting and reformatting just one in slot 1, then took it out again, downloaded the firmware file to it and put it back into the same slot.

Battery Deleted
Put battery back on charger, LIGHT CAME ON! Which means the battery was ready to accept a charge despite having been on charge for over 5 hours. That happens with all my batteries and all my chargers. I think the charger has to try charging the battery before it can work out whether it needs to s...

Good service shop for Pentax near Todmorden, West Yorkshire
Just to add, my K50 suffered aperture block failure earlier in the year and I got some quotes for repair and they were all coming back around £120-140. You can buy a used model from MPB for that price but don't know if it will suffer the same issue. I landed up buying the part off Ebay for £25 and d...
