Have recently bought a K5 and have taken photographs in auto mode with the shake reduction on. I seem to have switched off the anti shake in auto(green) and cant get it back.The red camera menu only goes to No2 in green ,so i cant acess No4 to put the antishake back on. Anyone help please.

Hello
Just decided to join after reigniting my interest in photography by buying a K20D two weeks ago, kind of any early birthday present to myself. Decided to buy the K20D because my first SLR was a S1A which I bought back in the late 70's, my wife thinks I'm regressing. Looking forward to using both ...

Hello
Hi Jon. My first Pentax, was a Spotmatic II, back in the mid 1970's. Still have it and it works fine, only parts replaced were the light seals and the mirror bump rubber. Take care.

If not - the obvious places to go and see with the camera would include Bolton Castle, Jervaulx Abbey,Thorpe Perrow and of course Aysgarth falls and West Bur...

19 Year Old Pentax User!
SRS it is then! Although I might wait a while to see if Jessops get them back in stock. Looks like I'll be busy taking photos of gear to put on the classifieds in the meantime! Keir.

Not sure about the K-5, but with the K-x/K-r you also need to set 'use aperture ring' to 'permitted' in order to use manual lenses. This will be the cause of the flashing 'f' box. Press the left button on the four-way controller to get to the Custom Settings menu Press the down button on the fou...

I've just sold up my Fuji S5 Pro and Zeiss 50 because the old girl was a bit on the slow side, tethering was a bit of a mare, manual focus was doing my head in and the conventional upgrade path seemed boring and expensive. I've struck lucky with a nearly-new K-5 at a half decent price - arriving...
