Pentax-FU
If you don't want to focus with the lens, there is a red setting for focus and f/8. This will give you a snapshot setting at the hyperfocal distance, and will be better for the nearer subjects.

How much would you pay for this?
I agree with John Riley on how 'seeing it in the flesh' and displayed properly makes a difference. Some 'images' will still look naff (in my subjective opinion) - others will look great. Several images I have taken don't look anything special, but when enlarged really come to life. Back to the origi...

Could they become a thing of the past
Agree with Nigel, but with the exception that if you are using flash to ONLY give some additional lighting to a dark scene, then better ISO performance would allow you to work later into the day before the flash needs to come out. Not sure if what I've written makes sense, but essentially a flash...

Very informative links about formatting SDHC and SDXC cards - worth reading!
Correct, no need to format on first use, but no auto formatting takes place - they are pre-formatted based on the specifications stipulated by the SD Association and are ready for use.. But I think we're talking about 're' formatting after transferring photos to the PC. Many thanks for clarifying t...

Hoping this works - I forgot to mention I also used manual focus on some of the images.

As well as keeping the shutter speed up, I'd suggest checking whether the lens is front of back focussing and then adjusting the AF calibration for it in camera if it is

Nobody has replied to you regarding Live View. Put the camera on a tripod and put your specs on so you can see straight (serious! It's important). Push the LV button and the mirror will go up with a loud 'clack!' Now the screen on the back is showing exactly what is being registered by the senso...

Looking at the images posted there seems to be a variety of issues causing the problems, some of which have been mentioned and some not. These are my thoughts: - Shutter speed is definitely an issue, although I often successfully shoot wild birds at 1/60 with a 420mm lens (DA*300 + 1.4TC) with ...

Hi David Thanks for the information - most helpful. To answer you questions, I was holding the camera free hand, manual shooting and not using a tripod on this occasion. My long lenses are both Sigma DG's and are 70-300mm and 120-400mm OS. One thing I have learned over the past few days is tha...

Paris through a Pentax... nice short film
I think I posted this video here a while back, but one of the aspects that makes this cool is the size of the viewfinder. I truly hope Pentax are able to provide something great with their FF camera viewfinder, as this was one of the main things I like when using an older film Pentax.

Odd question- can someone watch this Youtube video please?
Hi Patrick, if you use Google chrome there is a way to watch it in Ireland. Just download the Hola app, its a Google app so nothing dodgy about it. It allows you to change the country that the pc thinks its in. You can toggle it back to Ireland when your done watching your ad. Derek

lightroom, photoshop...or something else?
It really depends what you want to do and what you've trained yourself to do so far. Learning new software from Adobe in particular is always a challenge. I'd definitely stay away from the 'Elements' family. Lightroom is best for RAW and even JPG to a point. It can even enhance/colour grade and...

lightroom, photoshop...or something else?
Just to add to the confusion. After developing in Lightroom and opening in PS for the fancy stuff, I often find myself opening Adobe Camera Raw filter to do something like white balance or noise reduction then using the history brush to selectively paint in these effects. I basically can't really...

Pay attention at the back - it doesn't have the same extensive parameters or range, so it's very clumsy.

lightroom, photoshop...or something else?
The actual question here is about what is right for a particular, individual photographer ... In this case the OP. It is not about what individual piece of software is capable of doing everything (all that some feel they need personally and find that conveniently in an all-in-one package). And the a...

lightroom, photoshop...or something else?
You don't really save stuff in Lightroom. You process photos, non-destructively and it saves your edits in the background as you make them. All your work is recorded and you can go back to any state, at any time. It will then process your photos for web, or print, or simply a slideshow. all without...
