Quick focus ring
Its quite a big thing and may well be ergonically out of balance with a small DSLR

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhh! Corrupt card
Yesterday was the start of the world's greatest motorcycle race week, the Manx TT. I was fortunate enough to be invited to a party at a house on the course, and while sipping champagne watched the bikes whizz past at up to 200 mph. It was a lovely afternoon, and as I had taken a K10D with me, ...

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhh! Corrupt card
It's quite difficult. At first, I just got pictures of road, then road with a back wheel, and finally some pics of complete bikes, in focus, and properly exposed. Can't help with retrieving the pictures, but shouldn't you be using a D300 for photographs where AF is required? Then just start sh...

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhh! Corrupt card
George, The 'premium' SD cards from Sandisk and Lexar both come bundled with image recovery software. I've never had to use either in anger, but I've experimented with reformatting the cards several times and then running the Sandisk Rescue Pro v3 to see what it can find on the card. It's quite...

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhh! Corrupt card
Very many thanks to all who replied. I have spent most of the day trying to sort this out. It was weird, because some files were renamed with the names of earlier files that had been deleted. I looked at about fifty different "solutions", and in the end tried PCInspector. It recovere...

Exif data NA on TAv mode???
Ah, good point on the FA,,,,I just purchased a 12-24mm Pentax lens and will give that a try. Perhaps with all the new modes coming out the exif reader code writers can't keep up.; Will report back. al I have also experienced missing EXIF data. I first noticed this when with my FA 5...

Exif data NA on TAv mode???
same issue, "program undefined" on the images shot using TAv mode. I do like that photome software however and can see making use of it. Thanks for the url. I'm heading out in the back yard right now and will shoot all the programs, using a Pentax Lens, and see what happens. Perhaps ...

help from MattMatic
Help required from the master (MattMatic) Mat I have recently got back into Pentax SLR photography and could do with help regarding editing software. I noticed that you have written guides on both Silkypix and C1, which do you prefer for editing Pentax raw files? I am looking to do no more than ...

Noise removal
My recent foray into high-ISO photography (by which I mean 800 ISO on the K10D) meant that I had to do something I never normally do, and that is to invoke Silkypix's NR facilities. Going back a couple of years, one used to hear quite a lot about Noise Ninja, and similar products. More recently,...

Aperture 2 workflow tips & ideas please! (&Lightroom users!)
I use lightroom, this is my usual methodology: Import folder containing the days images from camera to 'pending' folder on my macbook. When this is done I then import the folder to lightroom, using 'autotone'. I then peruse the images, marking any to delete and any really good ones. Delete c...

Adobe Photoshop CS3 sucks
For a software that costs about 570 pounds new :shock: (I paid $710 in Chicago :wink: ).... You would think that Adobe made the software easy to install :evil: I've lost track trying to follow fixes on how to get the thing satisfactorily loaded... and yet no PS CS3 loaded yet... :evil: :evil: :...

When centre focussing doesn't quite work
Left the GX-10 on centre point focussing, then sat at the local sailing lake and took some snaps. Just got home and uploaded them, found that several are way out of focus (and sod's law it's the better photos it happened to!). Is this just a case of the object I thought I had focussed on being to...

When centre focussing doesn't quite work
draw an x from corner to corner. are there trees dead center? that seems to be what you focussed on. possible you had your af set to af-c instead of af-s? that would mean if you focused on the sail then recomposed, your af (being on Auto Focus-Continuos) would refocus on the trees in the center of...

When centre focussing doesn't quite work
Just got home and uploaded them, found that several are way out of focus (and sod's law it's the better photos it happened to!). The thing is, it's not way out of focus - it's really just a bit out. And the Laser, and even more so the Fireball, are moving towards you quite fast. You really d...

When centre focussing doesn't quite work
Looking at that image is it a focus issue or lack of sharpness - could it be the boats moving has made them less clear. What was the shuuter speed? Mike

More sharp than the boats are. :wink: I think they are, but it is hard to say for sure at this size. And the only embarassment with missing the focus point is when it's not a moving target. :wink: Dan

When centre focussing doesn't quite work
Shutter speed was 1/500 i think, so should be fast enough to freeze the boats (they weren't going that fast). It was set on AF-S, and I was generally targetting the sail or the people and then recomposing slightly. The image I posted is a crop, probably just over a 1/3 of the orginal (shot landscape...

Yeah, well this reinforces what I thought. It's a third of the frame, so it's pushing the limits already...
