PRINTING HELP
I remember looking at this a while back. The PPI was adjustable to any value you wanted in Photoshop, so bottom line it was best to just export the largest resolution (original) and best quality file (discuss with printers which file types they support) that you can. They'll do the rest.

PRINTING HELP
thanks guys Ill resort back to JPG's at 300 PPI That is only part of the equation. For a print you need to multiply the physical size by the ppi to give you the pixel dimensions (resolution) you need.

Pentax anniversary
I'm an old stick in he mud, still more than happy with the results I get from my K5 (2011), K30 (2012) and K3 (2013). The last big purchase I made was at the end of 2016 when I went for the D FA* 70-200mm zoom instead of investing in a new K1, a decision I'm glad I made as it gives me superb results...

Pentax anniversary
I'll happily take a set of six Pentax mugs! Will PU be doing a full review of the mugs?! We'll want to know about any decentering issues. I can't see any contacts so assume it is a purely manual mug. The weight and balance, is it good to handle? I don't think it's a zoom so you'll probably have to ...

Pentax anniversary
I eventually found a picture of what may be the Pentax mug but I'm unsure whether it is or isn't as it seems to be taking ages to come into focus. The Canon mug I recognized instantly though and even when I threw the laptop over to the other side of the room it still seemed to stay in focus on th...

Pentax has long had , head autofocus in live view, certainly since k30 days. However a rival has launched a new camera with head autofocus in an optical viewfinder and I am envious.I would really find this useful. Would anyone else value this feature in a Pentax camera ? Pentax really nee...

new features, head auto focus
I would like to give some of the competitors eye AF a try. Apparently it is very good. Head AF ? Less important I think. Of course there does come a point where the tech means we only have to point a camera somewhere near a subject and press the shutter, or maybe not even that :D Doesn't s...

Would anyone else value this feature in a Pentax camera ? Definitely . I’ve had too many group shots ruined with a background nicely in focus, and my foreground subjects blurry out of focus. Or portraits where the eyebrow or nose is in focus and the eyes blurry. I’d welcome this for sur...

My problem with back button AF is that I am left eye dominant so I always end up poking my right eye. They are so clever with considering where the right thumb ends up but totally ignore the potential use of the left one.

I remember an article , last year at one of the photo exhibitions, an executive of a rival company that had raced ahead with their development of full frame mirrorless was interviewed. He was asked , why they had taken the direction they had. One reason is that , during their market research, th...

don't see manual focussing as required to distinguish between a DSLR and a point and shoot. If I have auto focus capabilties and chose to use them then I just want them to work to the best possible standard. If I'm pointing at a person or group of people then I'd be quite happy for the camera in aut...

You the photographer selects which part of the many settings choices you want control over, depending on the shot situation and your knowledge of what the camera will be able to achieve correctly. This includes the use of semi automatic modes such as Av and Tv, and you interact in various ways, ...
