First Image Attempt using HDR in photoshop UPDATED IMAGE
there must be a time factor involved too. 80,000 photons over what time period? you could reset the sensor and then keep counting from 1 again to up the total. EDIT - i've just read that wiki, to do the above you'd need an interline sensor rather than the always on sensor and mechanical shutter o...

I was thinking (K10D)
I am looking to get a couple of K10Ds and the DA* 16-50 and 50-135 within the next few months (hopefully before September, depends how long Pentax takes to release the lenses). Regarding the battery grip, it is my understanding that the battery grip comes with no battery, would this be correct? ...

k110d autofocus problem
I have just bought a second hand K110d from ebay and the autofocus is not working :( I was wondering if anyone knew of a simple fix, or if not someone could give me an idea of how much these things cost to repair. Symptoms: - In AF mode lens focuses back and forth a few times and then fails t...

Help with next grading (movement)
With digital you'll get nice infrared patches on the sensor from heat... Film wouldn't be a problem though.

Bartender Girl Photoshoot - Critiques Please
Do you thinkt he K10D kit lens can offer sharper images? They look mis-focussed, not "unsharp". If you look at the wall by the side of the model, it is in focus at a point either behind or in front of her. If this was a manual focus lens and you are using the focus-assist - make sure y...

Pnetax 100DX?
Someone on another forum suggested that Pentax should put a 10 MP sensor in the K100D, just to bring it back into competition with the rest. Nikon have done it with the D40X to meet demand. It's not that I think it needs 10MP but it loses out regularly in tests with the remark that it is only 6MP. ...

Pnetax 100DX?
I know, and you know that 10MP is not the be all and end all of digital camera life, but when newbies are looking at cameras they will go for the Nikon D40X over the Pentax 100D simply because it has more pixels. They will ignore the limitations of the D40X and the advantages of the 100D and go for ...

How to force wireless flash (K100D, af360fgz) ?
I have no experience of your flash gun but two points come to mind First, I presume the gun has a light sensor (else how does it work), so is it in line of sight with the pop up flash? Second, I have used a hot shoe type sensor on a couple or three third party guns with no problem. Does you g...

Power Supply for pentax K10D / Samsung GX10
I just got my K10D on Wednesday and after checking every thing was ok upgraded the firmware to 1.2 (it shipped with 1.0) using a freshly charged battery with out any problem. I doubt you will ever need the mains supply unless you plan to do a lot of tethered shooting with the remote assistant. W...

Power Supply for pentax K10D / Samsung GX10
I found batteries fine for cleaning the sensor too. I got a power supply for my D, but used it once, when updating the firmware. Luckily, I didn't spend a fortune on the Pentax one. Dan

Power Supply for pentax K10D / Samsung GX10
You might want to have a mains adapter if you did a lot of studio work - or were paranoid that when you cleaned the sensor the mirror might drop while you had the brush/blower/whatever inserted!

Power Supply for pentax K10D / Samsung GX10
the mirror is fairly solid, it would be the shutter blades which would worry me. Still if you have a decent blower you shouldn't have to go near those for the most part. Of course if you find yourself having to use a physical contact cleaning method that might be another story but a fully charged ba...

Power Supply for pentax K10D / Samsung GX10
I don't know if it's the same with the K10, but with the *ist DS when cleaning the sensor, it beeps and flashes when the battery is low, leaving you plenty of time to get out before it finally conks out. Maybe it's possible for a battery to very suddenly fail (?), but I'd be more worried about a ...

Power Supply for pentax K10D / Samsung GX10
Dave :Thanks for finding that web-site ; it IS the right one but I have never bought anything from abroad on the computer yet. I bet it has the two-pin USA plug too. Well, I may spend the vouchers on something else, say FILM ! Regards the sensor cleaning: I have NOT done it yet since getting the K1...

Power Supply for pentax K10D / Samsung GX10
I have purchased one of those large squeezy blower things, and that has cleared off all dust and grime from both my K10D and DL2 thus far without having to touch the sensor. I have only used it once on each camera.

K100D + 18-55mm from Jessops
I have been into 5 different Jessops stores, two in Plymouth and 3 in Leeds to look at the K10D and K100D. Each time the sales people said I'd be better off with a Nikon as the image quality was so superior and all the features in the Pentax cameras were gimmicks. They pointed me to the D80 which ha...

Dust behind LCD - K100D
Hi all, Has anyone else had a problem with dust getting between the LCD and the protective cover on the camera. This isn't a major problem, but annoying nonetheless. I have been in touch with Pentax and they suggest I send the camera to them. Can anyone advise whether this can be removed by an...

Pentax 80-320mm on K100D
Does the fact that the K100D is only a 6 mp camera make it any less a performer ? as opposed an 8 or 10 mp DSLR ?? Nope. The K100D is a great camera. The shake reduction will be a very good addition for the 80-320mm. The sensor is the same as in all the Pentax 6mp DSLRs - with good technique and wor...

mine does this as well, I've always assumed it's the sensor moving on its mounting but don't know for sure.
