Hopefully this helps Exposure steps (1/2 or 1/3) changes the steps used when changing ev compensation Link AF Point and AE (on or off) Links the exposure value to the focus point. By default exposure is allowed to be measured from a different point than the focus point. I find it gives more ...

If linking the metering to the focus point, does anyone know what bias this gives (i.e. does it give the same bias to the focus point as centre-weighted metering would, or is it somewhere nearer spot metering)? Jonathan

Hi Rodger, Thanks for the reply - I guess this question is just clarifying what I asked previously, but if you link the metering to the focus point & then select the central focus point, does the camera meter differently to normal centre-weighted metering, or is it in effect doing the same th...

Hi Jonathan It seems that it moves the centre of centre weighting to the focus point. If I do spot metering linked to the focus point I seem to get different results. Hence it seems to meter differently to me but I'm sure somebody outhere looking in from Pentax would be able to help?!

Regarding exposure - I don't think there's any exact equivalent when tracking the focus point. The Pentax metering is a segmented meter device and it can't move the segments around! (Unlike some other makes that use a small CCD-like device for metering with small square pixels.) I suspect they &q...

i think one of the most useful custom settings for me is 'ok button when shooting' - I've set it so that it turns on spot AF 8) - very useful if you know the af might get confused :? or not know where to focus

Back on track... :P For the *ist-DS (similar functions to the DL2), my favourite custom function is "OK btn when shooting" to 3 - Enable AF. This way the shutter release does NOT focus, but the OK button does the focus. I find this especially helpful for kids, fast moving items, and ...

Richard, It's in the custom menu: For the *ist-DS (similar functions to the DL2), my favourite custom function is "OK btn when shooting" to 3 - Enable AF. Then, when you half-press the shutter it does not focus. You have to press the "OK" button to trigger the AF mechanism. Th...

Richard, The *ist-DL has only 3 focus points, so your only options are "Spot" and "Wide" (page 121 of the DL manual). Selecting a focus point would be a little silly. The *ist-DS has multi-point, and yes the four way controller can choose the focus point. See page 123 of th...

The *ist-DL has only 3 focus points, so your only options are "Spot" and "Wide" (page 121 of the DL manual). Selecting a focus point would be a little silly. The DL2 has 5, but still only allows wide and spot. TBH though even on my K10D I leave it on spot nearly all the time, so ...

Question about dpi
Hi Lilly, I assume when they say that maximum 'size' should be 1Mb, they mean the file size, ie. a jpeg of less than 1Mb. What you need to do then, is keep your image dimensions as large as possible (the number of pixels w x h) so that they can reproduce the pictures as large as possible, while ...

Question about dpi
Thanking you Daniel, well explained and I successfully did as you suggested - after of course saving the original. Tho I dont seem to have a preview box of how preview file size , so had to try and see as I went along. I was working along the right lines before I called for help, but thought the...

PS NO doubt ill be getting some stick (oh well back to basics) Pete You're right. I'm not amused. It's unfair to hijack somebody else's thread. To do it with somebody else's photo . . . not on. You haven't even commented on the original posters excellent photo.

Sunset over Bosham..
Superb. I used to sail round there, and the pic brings back many happy memories. Not least getting covered in mud when trying to reach the Anchor Bleu (the pub) at low tide! Another great pub in Chichester Harbour is the Royal Oak, where you can sail a dinghy right up to the front door at hig...

SILKYPIX 3 for jpegs..
I agree with you Peter. I have no intention of forcing a switch every month. Yes, I've tried pretty well all of them, and bought the main players (RSP - Lightroom will be a free upgrade, Photoshop CS2, C1, SPDS3). However, as you know, I've been using C1 for a looong time. I still have my license...
