Does this depend on how you are using autofocus? I generally uses AFS (single) rather than AFC (continuous) and single centre point AF. I use the shutter button as I've always found myself using first pressure and holding for locking and moving in composition such as with a group where there is risk...

Mine is always in AFC as there is no need for AFS if you use the back focus method. If you want AFS press rear focus button then release .. you can now take the shot with shutter button or recompose as required. If you need AFC then just keep your finger on the rear focus button. As I said, I hat...

I have been experimenting with back buck focusing a and have found it allot easier. Had a few instances when i first started where I forgot i had changed settings and tried focusing with shutter button and couldn't understand why it did not work and work. Other than that it was easy to get the hang ...

I just read the original link article and thought the examples were pretty weak. Switching to manual focus (via those external quick buttons everyone is so proud off) would have solved some of the issues. And holding the AF-L button sounds remarkably like using the back button focus technique ...

I started to use back-button focussing on my K5 but now I have a K3, and often use the 2 cameras together for sport, I've stopped using the back-button focus. Because the buttons are in different places on the K5 and K3 I was often missing the button when quickly swapping between the two cameras. ...

I love the Back-Focus button, on my K-5. I particularly find it a great help keeping a hyperactive grandchild in focus!!!! If you haven't tried it yet I highly recommend you do so! As already stressed above, it does take a bit of getting used to, but it's well worth the effort, believe me

Remember that you will be trusting all your gear to this tripod. Many positive reviews may be for little P&S cameras, not heavy DSLRs with big lenses. I'm sure it will be good enough for a Q 8) but I will test it with the K3 and my travel lenses. Also notice that they have 30 day money back p...

I don't see this tripod being up to much when fully extended. Pics make it look very spindly - Just me! Could have sent it back after the holiday, if it was not up to the job- but not if you are away for two months. :!::!:

Well it's here.... First impressions, out of the box it looks a feels like a nice piece of kit, appears to be well made and finished. Did a quick assembly to both full heights, I have to say it does feel pretty stable, even better when you add some weight to the centre column hook. I'll put...

Hi Team, Just wanted to raise awareness of a little setting that's really adjusted my camera to my liking. It's kinda obvious, but I'd overlooked it for so long that maybe others have too. I didn't want a duplicate post, so searched and found this one, but did want to raise it again so it's cur...

Rights grab attempt by Yahoo/Flickr
As I understand the terms described above, it seems that Yahoo! want to use the images primarily to promote their own range of "products". The bit that concerns me is the part relating to "third-party services". Does this mean that (as an example) Yahoo! are then free to sell on our images to Micros...

Back copies of Pentax magazines
I have copies of the magazine from 1987 to 2010. I was wondering if anyone would like them as I am reluctant to throw them away. I have given some to a local school for their photography research. I still have a lot left. Any observations would be interesting

The juddering is kind of normal, I've seen this across many sites. Bottom line is that some browsers just don't do scrolling as smoothly as others, and some hardware does it unsmoothly. I personally try to keep image file sizes down as that seems to help but your mileage may vary. It's a good pho...

wireless triggers with AF
hi all can anyone recommend wireless remote triggers for the K3 with AF? I already have the aputure trigmaster ii which does the job but doesn't perform the AF function..(or at least it doen't for me). the AF would allow me to take selfies in focus rather than guesswork many thanks bal

wireless triggers with AF
The 2.5mm remote connector has two button function - focus and shutter- that allow the same behaviour as the main shutter buttonwith its half-press. A wired remote would give you the choice for sure, and you can always buy a 2m extension cable (stereo 2.5mm extension). IR only has a single com...

wireless triggers with AF
Ok, I've just tried this out... The Cactus style triggers will connect the sleeve to the tip of the 2.5mm connector. This is the shutter release only. On the wired connector, shorting the ring to sleeve will trigger the half-press action. For this to focus you have to set the button customisat...
