Well put blob :wink: I'll be continuing my personal tests with the Green Hex/Beep so far all I've established is that the trap-focus is useless at f/2.8. Unless you somehow take an average of two positions.. one moving forward the other moving backward. But at least I know how to accurately...

@Algi I also enjoy getting to know my lenses rather intimately.:shock: To really test the focus with the k-5 and all my lenses, is something I have not managed yet. Probably because of lack of knowledge on how to do it correctly. :( My goal is to learn how to focus all my lenses in every situat...

On my K7 when working with manual focus lenses I do get the centre focus point flashing (in red) briefly when focus is confirmed. But I have to say that the reality is this indication is really more of a 'range' for focus - its not really a pin sharp exact point. Good as a quick guide, but I still f...

The centre point flashing does not indicate in focus, it is the green heagon that indicates in focus. This seems to be quite a common misconception as it crops up from time to time on the forum.

Thats very interesting, thanks! I checked the manual and it does indeed refer to the 'Focus Indicator' (with a picture showing the green 'heagon') as indicating 'in-focus'. I'm sure I have seen references to the red focus point flashing in other internet resources, such as those various guides to us...

The red lights tell you which focus point is active.

Yes, that would be so in AF, but in Manual focus I understand that only the centre point is used - so I was wondering if it is actually responding to something different than what the green heacon is showing?

No, it's just the same. The green hexagon indicates that the camera has found focus.

When using manual focus on the K-r when the green confirmation is on I also get the centre red point flash, I just took it as an indication of where the camera is confirming the focus point is, although I have not tried moving the focus point in manual mode I but would imagine that it can still be m...

I assume you're right Greg - I wouldn't know becuase it's 10x easier to focus/recompose than move the AF point using the arrow buttons. Another point to bear in mind is that the AF sensor picks up a larger area than the red dot you see on the screen, leading to false focus confirmation. This hap...

I'll have to sort out my username sometime ! I'm Nigel, I'll put it under my posts from now on. As we're talking about manual focus lenses this may all be irrelevant - don't have the camera to try with me, but I guess you can't move the AF point select with a manual lens fitted? Most photogr...

Older manual focus lenses will only support limited features, so centre point focua is, I think, normal. There are many features in cameras these days that help beginners, but actually to use will slow us down if we know what we are doing already. I find the idea of wasting time selecting a focus...

You probably don't have the 'use aperture' option enabled. Press the Menu button Using the buttons on the four-way controller on the back of the camera, navigate to the [C Custom Setting 4] menu. Navigate to [23 Using Aperture Ring] and select [Enable]. Press the OK button and then the Menu b...

Regarding the manual focus problems if you get a K-01 then you get focus peaking and manual focus is a breeze, quick and accurate, and you can see how much DOF you've got and the effect stopping down gives you.

Thanks John Just got the K-30 so not changed much, will put the K-R back to sRGB. Hope to try the K-30 at chester zoo wednesday. The focus is quicker than the K-R. Cheers Dave

It's absolutely essential that, whatever you do, all your cameras and Photoshop are using the same colour space. Not necessarily.... only if you don't understand colour management :P Photoshop will detect the colour space of the incoming image and has options for converting into your working spac...

In the bag you see there is camera body, I think with 16-45mm on it, plus lenshood for same. There is probably some accessory under the lenshood. The sides have small hinged flaps that are part of the kit, so two lenses can be stored each side, providing they are not too long. So a 12-24mm could be ...

Thanks again John The second photo helps. It looks like one of the Superflex inserts in the bottom so I know they will fit. I've just rung Billingham and they are ringing back shortly to see if they can supply the dividers only. They said the whole replacement insert has 2 vertical and 2 horizont...
