Focus within magnification
I bought a Pentax K5 with a Sigma DC 18-200, 3.5 - 6.3 lens in August 2011 and just used it to record travel etc and the photos looked fine. However, I was not a serious photographer and I did not enlarge photos much to check on focus. Occasionally I noticed that much enlarged photos were not focus...

Focus within magnification
First thing to do if you haven't done so already is to calibrate the AF. You be able to see from the photos whether they are front focussing or back focussing. Take a bunch of pics at widest aperture in daylight and adjust the AD calibration ( custom menu #26 ) between +/-10 until it focusses ...

Focus within magnification
Smeggypants - seems so simple and don't know how I didn't discover this - my setting was on OFF! Allow me to say it - Idiot! I have read up in the manual and will test at the first opportunity, but just one more thing please - will this also automatically correct when using the MF setting? Than...

Focus within magnification
will this also automatically correct when using the MF setting? If you mean 'will it affect the way the focus indicator behaves in manual focus' then the answer is 'yes', any adjustments will impact on this so your manual focus may become more accurate if you rely on the focus indicator rather than ...

Focus within magnification
David, Thank you for that information. Must say that I prefer to use AFS to MF, but Im glad of any measure that assists. I'm currently identifying what calibration appears to be best (its not easy!) and I'm at the + end of the scale at about 9 or 10. My eyes are good as I don't wear glasses but ev...

Thanks so much for your time and help. Your idea about the use of the adjustment brush with higher magnification makes sense. I have I believe sorted this problem in the camera - seems I need to adjust by +9. Cheers Keith

Anyone had any experience of Lightroom on an iPad? I'm spending a lot of time photographing away from home and I'd like to be able to sort through the images and do superficial editing in the evening. Apparently LR can do this and send the changes to the desktop version when you get back. But the...

So you're on the iPad Ken? I'm not au fait with IPad and the accessories. I assumed I would need to WiFi the images across or wait till I'm back at the Mac, but I can just just use a cable. Wondrous! How did apple let that slip through :twisted:

If you subscribe to Apples iCloud, any photographs taken with or uploaded to iPad will automatically be copied to your Mac and your iPhone, presuming you have that as well of course :) So you're on the iPad Ken?

None, as far as I can see, edits to images are sent from iPad as a sidecar file (XML) listing exactly what has changed, this is the reason edits are performed within seconds, the sidecar file is a fraction of the image size :)Anyone had any experience of Lightroom on an iPad?

The 11" standard is as fast as an iPad air, 10x an iPad 2, faster processors are options too, faster again on the 13" Don't forget other options like multiple back ups to external drives that you can't do with the iPad etc. Sure it's not cheap but 0% finance is available every now and again!

My workflow using Eyefi card, iPhone 5S and Photogene
Here is a little walkthrough for my workflow using the eyfi card, iPhone 5S but any IOS device will work and the app Photogene which I think is the best photo image manipulation app available. On a dual card setup I have the Eye-Fi card set to jpegs fine and to transmit all files to the iPhone, I...

No personal experience, but I wouldn't go straight in with a lawyer - they're expensive and there's no way back! Why not contact them yourself, explain why it's your image and how you prove it*, point out the error of their ways, set out the consequences of their actions unless they cease and de...

Anyone using their DSLR for video
I use the K7 a lot for video and I find it excellent. I'm not doing any more than family days out, but I enjoy making it all interesting with editing in Sony Vegas software, so appreciate the high quality available. For more creative work we have our member richandfleur in New Zealand setting settin...

Anyone using their DSLR for video
My main recommendations for Pentax DSLR video are: 1. Use a stereo hotshoe microphone 2. Use SR but keep movements very limited - slow pans and zooms are ok ... Try and take alternative views of the action and use cuts in editing (keeping the soundtrack from one file throughout)rather than mov...
