I shall show my ignorance. What is a NAS? Network Access Storage. Basically a hard drive that connects to your home router. You can have it for storage only but with mine I can also give people access to folders as a FTP user. Used it a few times for that to show customer images but it's a pain to t...

My mention of a NAS seems to haver triggered some curiosity . As folk have said, a NAS is Network Attached Storage. Many are quite capable of hosting a photo gallery and much more. Here is a link to my site on the NAS: https://jkpg.myqnapcloud.com:8081/piwigo/ It can host galleries, forums, blo...

O-RC! K1
Why not just use the 12 sec. timer built into the camera. That should give you enough time to get back in position for the shot. CHEERS Vic.

AP at it again
I have the same response when reading about the wonderful new IBIS systems in mirrorless bodies whereas previously this was dismissed as less effective than stabilised lenses, but I suppose if you have blown your budget on a new mirrorless system then you are bound to try and convince yourself it wa...

Now take the necessary steps to manually uninstall the driver:https://www.wacom.com/support?guideId=002-235 . Once that is done, check to see whether your computer can find any other present...

Someone is listening for once
I recently received a box of Hahnemuehle smooth white matte fine art print paper and found it impossible to tell which was the coated face. I know they are normally packed with the coated face upwards but it didn't look right and as a result I printed on the back face instead. I e-mailed a suggestio...

The A4 Trial Packs are great value and all sheets are clearly identified on the back surface.

EXIF puzzle
Even on an ipad 426x640 is really small. Even my 3 1/2 year old phone manages 3968 x 2976. You can increase resolution a bit in PS or whatever, but it won't invent detail where there isn't any. The best way is to do it in tiny steps rather than one big leap. I wonder if the person saved the ...

Photoshop Update
Paul If you go to Edit/Preferences and select the performance tab.... At the top it will show how much RAM you have and how much you are allowing PS to use. It will also tell you if your graphics processor is recognised. I realise you have rolled back, but if you want to update again and po...

Lens repair advice needed
Hello my Pentaxian friends. It's been a very long time since I was last here - hope I haven't missed much :). I have had some health related issues so I had lost all interest in photography. However, with the weather improving I finally dusted off my K1-I and my Pentax DA* 60-250 in order to take...

Lens repair advice needed
I would turn the focus ring to the extremes a few times making sure AF switch on both camera and lens was on, then half press the shutter button and do it again. My old DA* lenses would need waking up. Mind you never from a 3.5 year sleep. You may need to find a handsome Prince to give them a ki...

Lens repair advice needed
Try to focus in live view. I don't understand why but this woke up the SDM on my DA200 that hadn't worked for months.

Well guys, the lens has been renamed 'Lazarus' - thanks to you all. :D:D:D Try to focus in live view. I don't understand why but this woke up the SDM on my DA200 that hadn't worked for months. Smudge, That Live View trick really did work.

Try to focus in live view. I don't understand why but this woke up the SDM on my DA200 that hadn't worked for months. Thanks Smudge. I was just about to send my lens to Pye's when I spotted your suggestion and it works a treat. Another lens called Lazerus!

Try to focus in live view. I don't understand why but this woke up the SDM on my DA200 that hadn't worked for months. This worked for my 50-135 too. It failed to focus recently despite my routine of regular exercise if it was unused for a month. Thanks for the tip.

A simple question about ‘muscle memory’
Just wondering, how many of you use different cameras, e.g. Fuji, Leica, Canon, Nikon etc., as well as your Pentax? Some context. As a former professional helicopter pilot, (North Sea), I was trained on a specific aircraft type. Technical training, dealing with emergencies, trained (simulator...

A simple question about ‘muscle memory’
There’s a lot to be said for having the camera on manual mode. After that , it’s a simple triangle which you can alter through the viewfinder with the appropriate dials. I find manual control far quicker to respond to with certain situations that require a fast response. I’d even go as far as using ...

A simple question about ‘muscle memory’
Interesting question. And it isn't just Pentax vs other brands. Muscle memory is a factor whenever I'm using the K20D rather than the usual K3. The issue isn't so much the operating system as the position of buttons, particularly AF (I use back-button AF). Even using the K3, if I don't use certain f...

A simple question about ‘muscle memory’
Interesting question...although i'm not really much help as i've only ever used Pentax Digital. I do like the Pentax menu system overall and find it quite intuitive even between different models although i'm still adjusting to the K-5IIs from the K-50 which I found really easy to use after owning...

A simple question about ‘muscle memory’
It makes me very cross every time I try to play back an image on the K1 when there is a loud 'clack' noise as I turn on Live View! Left thumb to top left = playback images on the K5 and the K3 - then they switched it on the K1 ! Live view itself is in a different position on all three so you can't w...
