It was declared uneconomically repairable by Johnsons after it was dropped in a puddle of seawater on Whitby Beach ... (snip ) .. But after they gave up and returned it to me without screwing the bottom baseplate back on. I can only assume it dried out in the post as it all works perfectly now exc...

Pentax KP ignores TAV setting
Hi, Why does my new camera ignore my capture settings? I took delivery of a new Pentax KP three days ago. On Saturday I took it on a field trip to test it photographing birds in flight. I set the Mode button to TAV, AF to AF.C, Continuous shooting (Low), back-button AF, first photo action Focus Pr...

Pentax KP ignores TAV setting
Thanks Peter, McGregNi and Chris but I've decided to send the KP back to Amazon. The TAV problem was really just the last straw. I've decided to replace it with a K3ii while they're still available new. The KP did have a tilting screen and this was its main selling point to me. It did have built-in...

Pentax KP ignores TAV setting
Similar to my own woes with the KP - I got one two weeks ago and spent a week with it, finding lots of things that just didn't work - couldn't even switch it on/off sometimes and needed to take the battery out and put it back in again to get some life out of it. I noticed the TAV setting was also a ...

Possibly only 18 days to go until ....
After many years with Pentax I have learned not to expect anything when it comes to announcements at major trade shows and if they do then expect it to be delayed by at least 6 months. Wow, after reading that back to myself I realize I need to get out more :shock:

My belief in Pentax at low light is shattered
The K-1 is superb at low light photography, in fact one of the best I use. But it isn't fair to say that the list provided had no images, because the technical shots were shown that could be compared to show the results at all ISO values. It's also not fair to say that EPZ are "solely driven b...

New K70
Our 2 year old KS2 is back in for repair for the second time with an aperture block problem - I cannot comment about the internals however externally and spec wise it is very similar - we chose to go the KP route . Hope this helps

Won't it stick back on? Even a replacement would require sticking.

Won't it stick back on? Even a replacement would require sticking. That was my first thought too.

Daft Q time, have you checked the hidden depths of your camera bag yep little bits often find their way up into the seams behind the padding where they're near impossible to locate without pulling the bag apart holding the seams where the padding meets the back of the bag and giving a good shake...

K1 and Lightroom tether
Quick question. I'm hosting a drop in photo shoot session locally to where I live to drum up some business to pay for my new puppy and also build on my customer base. I usually shoot in people's homes where they can view on the back of the camera but "see" the final edited images on a pen dr...

K1 and Lightroom tether
Thanks all. So Image Sync can view the jpegs on screen but can't transfer the raw files? I remember back in the day I had a Eye-Fi pro card that could transfer raw files into a named folder on the desktop and then lightroom would "watch" that folder and auto import new images.

Image sync in my experience acts like a proxy rear screen but with your controls added so has additional benefits when taking shots; for exposures you can scroll down speed, aperture, iso etc. very easily. Best though is with a touch screen like on an iPad you just touch any part of the image to sel...

Photography Show NEC 2019
Having been today I didn’t feel it was quite up to the same standard as before. Admittedly last time I went on a Sunday so maybe a bit more busy, but driving in there were no clear Photography Show signs pointing to car parks, just “photography” on an illuminated sign with Bear Grylls Photography gi...

I was also interested to see the Sirui waterproof tripod and whilst it looked good technically and could easily be dismantled for cleaning it didn’t feel stable enough and not in the same class as my trusty Manfrotto. Gitzo introduced a tiny table top “travel” tripod for heavier cameras but legs not...

AF Fine Adjustment advice
Thanks Peter, That makes sense. I don't think I'd have ever worked that out from the manual. Me neither, it took trial and error :D One caveat I should have mentioned is that this is how it works on the K1. I would imagine it is the same for the K5 but it would be worth you checking yourself ...

I learned something about my K-5 II camera today . . .
The program line option goes back to the SFX (and arguably the P50). In program 'normal' the SFX would alter the program line depending on lens focal length (and show it on the LCD) but it wouldn't be able to match 1/focal length. For prop aircraft I use Tv and 1/125th maybe 1/180th at a push, an...
