K10 odd movement
One more thing.. I observed what happened if I changed the focal length the camera was set to. As expected, the longer the focal length set, the more the sensor moved about. Set to 800mm, I couldn't hold it still enough - it wasn't long before large enough sensor movements took place for it ...

K10 odd movement
R Then if I increase the amplitude of the movements, there comes a point, where it appears that the SR 'gives up', and the sensor visibly flops to the extent of its movement, under gravity. From then on, SR is ineffective, and the sensor moves about only due to gravity. Rotating the camera make...

RAW+JPEG WHERE??? HOW???
Any one pixel can only represent one colour, so any one JPEG pixel has 8 bits of information about whichever colour is represented. A RAW pixel has 12 bits. Pixel is a very general term, pixels on a capture device (excepting Foveon sensors) record a single primary colour each. Display devices outpu...

K10D Shake Reduction focal length setting
You MUST absolutely set the focal lenght number that is on the lens. The 1.5X conversion factor is something we use because people are used to the numbers used on 35mm cameras.If APS-C sensor stays the norm, eventually, the conversion factor won't be used anymore, because people will get used to t...

K10D Shake Reduction focal length setting
If APS-C sensor stays the norm, eventually, the conversion factor won't be used anymore, because people will get used to the focal length used in this format. This is so, so true. I've not taken a single 35mm film picture since getting the K10D a year ago. I was staggered at how quick this trans...

Bird man of Wales
Not bad at all. The first one has a comic feel to it but it'd be better with the bird facing you I think. I do like my Samsung 50-200mm, it produces superb results for such a compact lens. PS: You need to clean your sensor Pete.

How do you useAF-360Fgz wireless with K10D?
The "P" is for preflash exposure, not communication ;) The preflash is used so the metering sensor can be used while the mirror is down. The non-preflash TTL used a separate metering mechanism that picked up the reflected light off the film - when used with CCD it kind of got a bit complic...

First K20D delivered in Germany
Had a bit of a play now :) My first impressions are: Externally almost the same as the K10D apart from the shutter release is black. The new LCD doesn't really seem any bigger or better. The shutter and sensor shake are quite a lot quieter. There does seem to be a bit more dynamic ra...

K20 and beyond
I found this bit of information (or rumour) on what might be in store for Pentax beyond the K20. As quoted on the digidirect website Product Information LAS VEGAS--Pentax just announced its new flagship SLR camera, the K20D, but the Japanese company has plans on the drawing board for a higher-...

K20 and beyond
Full frame yes. It will come, maybe in a few years , but it will come, and don't expect the camera to have it to be any bulkier than current Pentax DSLRs. If anything, expect them to get smaller. With all electronic equipment things will never get bigger as technology advances. I can see a full fram...

K20 and beyond
Five or ten years, you say? Well, I can disclose some very interesting news, that you may not be aware of. Six years ago, Pentax initiated a top-secret project to build just the camera you mention. The prototype was ingenious, and almost exactly the same size as an MX. The really clever th...

Finally!
....That is a good idea. I bet the K10D could be improved a lot if only one or two of the circuit boards and sensor was user-replaceable. It could also be improved simply with another firmware update - but even that doesn't look likely. That, I must admit, is a fleecing.

? quiet noise of mirror going up?
I was using my K10D to take pictures of my son during a jazz concert. I thought the music was load enough so the "click" sound would not disturb anyone. After the concert, my youngest son told me that the clicking was annoying, and that others sitting close were annoyed. The manual says...

K100D Sensor Clean
Have a look here: http://www.cameraclean.co.uk/acatalog/index.php Try a blower first, then a brush if the blower doesn't shift it.

K100D Sensor Clean
Assuming you've tried the camera's Dust Removal function already..... For loose particles, try: 1) Blow with large bulb blower. 2) Arctic Butterfly - Google for more info.

Iceblinker and Xbow Thanks for the info , already tried my rocket blower but it didn't work. Does the K100D have a dust removal system ?I've tried the mirror up system to have a look and use my blower .......

K100D Super has Dust Removal (DR) system. K100D does not.
