Freezing K5
I have had a couple of instances in cold conditions where the K5 has totally frozen and cannot even be switched off. The cure is to remove the grip, remove the battery from the body, re-assemble and everything goes back to normal. Not always terribly convenient in the field!! I am pretty certain, ha...

Onsite photo printing using the Eyefi MOBI wifi card.
In addition to my day job in IT, I have started to develop a fun sideline in photo booths for weddings, events and parties. As part of the package I offer the production of a photo memory book at the event along with re-prints being immediately available for purchase or pre-purchased as part of the ...

Onsite photo printing using the Eyefi MOBI wifi card.
@Algernon - I read up on the battery issue and have bought a couple of cheap generics as back up to my two Pentax originals. @LennyBloke - I wish :-) @Jonathan-Mac - I looked at the Toshiba cards but elected to go down the MOBI route for the benefits of the adhoc network and simplified set up.

Broken hood
Hi, i slipped on ice and my camera back went down with a bang as well, luckily only the lens hood for my Sigma 70-300 was broken, i have tried to get another and the prices are ridiculous, would a tulip hood be just as good as they are only cheap? Thanks in advance for any info

Upgrading
A retired pro friend remarked recently that he had managed a successful landscape exhibition of his work at St Martins in the Fields some years back with 6 megapixels enlarged to A2 and A1 prints. I replaced my K5 after 19,000 images with a K3 as I'd cosmetically worn it out (switches not as good...

Upgrading
I still use my KX and excepting low light focus benefits, it does as well as the K5iis for most shooting needs. The 5 is ergonomically superior, has a battery pack which helps for vertical images and the weather semi- proofing makes me more likely to use it in slightly inclement weather.- none of th...

John. You have no idea. Unless you have done exhibitions yourself? I did exhibitions in the UK at Earls Court. Olympia. and the NEC (the first year it opened) and every other year after. Also various venues around the world for 39 years. When you're on a stand for 8hrs. a day for 2 weeks THEN it's h...

A good start ? The start? Should they be at ' the start' ... No, of course they shouldn't. In an ideal world. But Pentax has been fighting its way back from near collapse on a very small budget. Thank goodness they at last have an owner with decent resources, but it would be unreasonable to ex...

Setting the DPI
Hi, I'll respond to this one but after that it looks too much like I'm their salesman. Their software is stable, 64 bit making full use of modern processors. They have a light and full (not time limited) SE free version of most of their stuff but I've never used it so can not comment. You might...

Aurora tonight,even down south
According to the figure for Bz is 18.2nT south...which means that the Earth's protective magnetic field has aligned itself with the sun's magnetic discharges allowing for conditions giving rise to this evening's Aurora. I've been loosely following this figure for several years and this is one o...

Aurora tonight,even down south
I'm not sure about this but I did notice a pink tinge to the sky a while back....so it may have been... or maybe not. However I keep having a look outside just in case

Long exposure warning
Yes, light gets in through the back and plays havoc. There's a little rubber cover piece I think, attached to the camera strap I think? But I've found a hand held over the viewfinder casting shade works ok. I thought it would only be an issue with fairly direct back lighting though.

I thought it would only be an issue with fairly direct back lighting though. It was a lovely day down here, T- shirt weather. The sun was behind and slightly to the right.

Long exposure warning
My solution is my black hat. Set up the shot, put hat over back of camera with remote or 2 second timer fire camera. I used the same method over the lens between shots when taking the eclipse to keep the bright sun off the sensor. EASY. CHEERS Vic.

Long exposure warning
Metering mode is affected ... Multi-pattern won't work with the old lens, it will go to centre-weighted. I'm not sure that of itself would have a great impact ?? You'd have to use stop-down metering though and manual mode for accurate results with the Tac I think ... Are people really using metered ...
