A dot in photos of my K-5
Doesn't look like dust. Might be a 'sensor stain' that some of the early K-5s suffered with. Your dealer will arrange warranty work if it is. Pete

To me it looks identical to a sensor stain on my first K5. I could confirm with a closer crop. Contact your retailer for a replacement.

The larger version doesn't look so much like my sensor stains. I should think it is prominent enough to be identified on most photos, I'd guess at least down to certainly at f6.3 or f5.6, albeit a larger blurrier blob. You should be able to see if it was present in the first shots you took with th...

It looks like dust. Try the camera's electronic cleaning function, and if that doesn't work, you're on to shifting it yourself. But there's no need to panic about it!

A dot in photos of my K-5
Hi. I bought the camera, but nothing like Rocket Blower yet. I have tried dust cleaning function a few times, but no difference yet. I am not confident enough to lift the mirror and do something myself. If it is clear that the dot is a dirt, then, I will buy something to blow it away. But at ...

Hi. I uploaded another file. I don't think there is more than one dot. Thanks. Need bigger, still looks like a dust bunny from here. What was date of manufacture, presuming this was the one off Ebay? This was a 100% crop of my first K-5 sensor by , on Flickr Same of second....

Yup got the pic. Now I can see it properly it does rather look like a stain to me, unusual to have one on its own though .. rest of the sensor seems fine. Did you get the receipt and if so where did the camera come from?

At this time of year it might be a pollen grain and some of those are devilish sticky and can't be blown off. My K10D had a very similar problem last year and had to have the sensor cleaned by Pentax Service regards Bernard

I got a reply from the shop. They think this is a big dust and the senor needs cleaning. I live down 2 hours from London and the shop is in London. If this is not serious, then I can wait until I go up to London with another reason. Thanks guys.

I am thinking of going to a local shop to check if it is a dust or something else. They charge £30 for cleaning service, so I do not want to travel to London if I have to pay anyway. I want to do it locally. That will be easier and quicker. Thanks.

Hi. I have tried rocket blower and it did not work. The thing is I can see anything on the sensor when the mirror is open. I guess £35 sensor cleaning service is what I am left with now.

A dot in photos of my K-5
When I had an atypical sensor stain on my K-5 I contacted Pentax who asked for photos and as the cause was still uncertain advised a professional sensor clean. I sent the camera to Johnsons Photopia who deal with Pentax warranty work in the UK. They were most helpful and after failing to remove the ...

Hi. This is what I received from pemtax. "Thank you for your enquiry. After examining the picture you sent us we can say that this is not the stains issue. However it is more likely a dead pixel on CCD matrix, or a dust (though a chance of that is low). We advise you to contact your dealer regard...

The ideal DSLR
Taking my K-x as the basis, I'd like: More pixels - so that I can crop a bit more. Full frame sensor so that I can get the field of view and the combination perspective/foreshortening for each lens that I prefer from film cameras. Brighter viewfinder to aid manual focusing - I expect the K-5 has ...

The ideal DSLR
I would like a black-and-white sensor camera with huge dynamic range and resolution, and B&W coloured filters set into the body so they can be used with any lens. And yes, I know this will never happen, I just WANT it!

K-5 Elecronic Level
Isn't it in the debug menu??? If it is then it is not obvious as I can't see anything that looks like this in the K-7 debug menu and I will not risk risk tinkering in there without knowing exactly what everything does :?. The usual web searches only revel people complaining about the issue and ...

Another "convert"
My sister in law was looking to buy a DSLR about the same time I was moving from Nikon to Pentax and had just received my first K5 - which had the sensor stain. Despite this, I recommended her a K-r. She was looking at Nikon and Canon only. Anyway she took my suggestion on board and got herself a K-...

K-5 Anti Shake
Hi folks :) I've always left the Anti-Shake on my K-5s. For a while now I've noticed some pics blurred even though I Know focus is spot on and shutter speed is very fast. 1/1000 or over. I've now sussed out why .... A lot of my shooting style is "See it, Autofocus it and snap it" - however ...
