That does sound like a fault to me, I think your best bet is to take it back to the dealer (or contact Pentax directly) and ask their advice.

Calibration 2 monitors
Synergy is an amazing piece of code. Works across Linux and Windows, although I manily use it Linux to Linux, and I've had as many of 4 systems off 1 mouse(trackball) and keyboard at once. But the other mice and keyboards still work too. Cutting and pasting from Windows to Linux or vice-versa j...

Cheap Tripod?
Don't waste your money. Maximum weight only 2kg, maximum height - with the centre column fully extended only 51". It doesn't even fold up that small. A recipe for back ache and wobbly camera. It is cheap for a reason. Cheap tripods are generally a mistake. Why not bung the Velbon in the car boot a...

Cheap Tripod?
Here's the thing. You can buy cheap stuff over and over and always have it fail doing what it should do... hold your camera steady. On the side of a hill. In the sand. In the wind. If it works then you just got lucky. If it doesn't then the money you've spent is wasted and the time you've spent too....

Cheap Tripod?
I totally agree with you in principle- buy quality- no argument. To suggest that there is nothing on the market at less than a grand that is worthy of a long and trouble free life is just silly. I have a perfectly servicable set of Giottos aluminium legs that cost £120 and a head that cost £60...

Cheap Tripod?
I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned Red Snapper yet, but if you want a full size serious tripod for £100 or so then get their three section legs (£50) and ballhead (£50). Mine has handled a Bronica ETRSi with the 2x teleconverter and 200mm f4.5 without showing any signs of sagging, in fact the...

Cheap Tripod?
Let's get back on topic and try to avoid this thread going down the drain. The only tripod that's any good is a sturdy one. This usually means heavy as well, although carbon fibre ones can also be excellent. For cameras like the K-5 with the usual lenses on them (not 1000mm f8 ones) then somet...

One reason why I love shooting RAW
I tried JPEG once on my K-x Steve. Straight back to RAW after I struggled to recover highlights. Super little camera too.

One reason why I love shooting RAW
nanhi, your post is showing why I don't use JPG shooting. I'm just too lazy.:D (It also underlines how biased against JPG my original post is but I warned that it would be.) Firstly I don't want necessarily the shot matching the real life scene. I leave that to forensics. I prefer to try to get ...

Budget monitor reccomendation?
Hi, I've never liked glossy screens for the same reason. DVI connection and a good graphics card can contribute to a good set up. Be careful about older screens that the back lighting has deteriorated on. My current screen is a LG but I'd like to upgrade soon, very good blacks though, Il...

Budget monitor reccomendation?
My eyes are old but I certainly wouldn't want less than 22 inch diagonal, especially if widescreen which are much smaller pro rata. The DVI connection is essential or you're converting digital to anologue back to digital with D sub

RawTherapee 3.0 Released
Thanks for this, Mark. I "lost" my copy of PS cs3 a while ago and went back to using RAWTHERAPEE for RAW conversions. As you say, this version looks much better. I've processed one shot and the process was much better.

RawTherapee 3.0 Released
I tried RAW Therapee a while back & preferred the Pentax software or gimp. However, the list of additions & improvements in v3 looks extensive & impressive, so I think I´ll download it & give it another shot. Each time I use a free processing program I take a step further back from purchasing Li...

Looks interesting, but I think they will need a reliable supplier to back them. Preferably in the UK. Take care. Chris R.

which high-end compact to choose
I actually really like that movie, it just have a lovely air to it. Have you already seen The Borrower Arrietty? That one have such a great atmosphere, a must see. Much better then the CGI stuff now a days :roll: I always look up the date of the movie and compare it what Disney was making. K...

24.3 MP Exmor CMOS sensor
what are the actual problems, other than 'redundancy'? Are the extra pixels really redundant even, if they can draw fine details more smoothly even if not contributing to *more* detail. Loss of definition, besides wouldn't the time, effort and money be better spent improving other aspects of the des...

Do I meed a K5 ?
The K-r operates just the same way as the K-x, but is faster and has focus point indication in the viewfinder. It's a lovely camera and will slide seamlessly into your existing style. Only buy the K-5 if you need weather resistance or the higher pixel count or the better low light performance. Be...
