Advice please on K-500 orientation sensor
I have just checked the manual and you can change the exif data from the menu for a specific image. However I did email Pentax directly and they have suggested updating the firmware to the new level just released and see what happens. I'll do that and then test again. Stuart

Advice please on K-500 orientation sensor
Just installed the latest firmware and it does not solve it, however I can change the orientation manually for an individual image from the menu when reviewing an image which then downloads and displays in the correct way. Sounds to me like a fault in the camera unless there is a hidden menu item I'...

Go the custom settings and look for saving image rotation, making sure it is set to On. In the playback menu also make sure auto image rotation is ticked.

Advice please on K-500 orientation sensor
There is nothing in any menu I can find for generally saving the orientation in exif. The data is there but always says top,left irrespective of camera orientation. If I manually in camera alter the rotation it then sets the correct data which is used to display the image both on the camera and on t...

I'm not sure why you're looking at the EXIF data - all the settings are in the camera menus. Are the camera menu settings correct? If they are, then the images should display the correct way up in programs such as Photoshop.

Advice please on K-500 orientation sensor
I think the issue might be with your understanding of the tag rather than the camera: my understanding is that the tag indicates the location of the 0th row in each dimension of the image as stored. If the camera is storing the image rotated such that this is always the top left, then the tag is ...

Advice please on K-500 orientation sensor
I am comparing the exif tag in my Canon SX10IS with that of my K-500. The Canon correctly shows top,left for a landscape image when downloaded and in camera it displays correctly, with portrait it show left bottom and again in camera it displays correctly as a portrait mode and on the PC. The K-5...

Now when I display a portrait image in camera and hit the down arrow button on the back it displays 4 thumbnail images of the possible rotations, I can select the correct orientation for the image and it saves the correct data in the exif tag, it then displays the image in camera as portrait and whe...

Well if that is the case it is unacceptable that many reviews state it has a sensor. I have contacted Pentax and even their support have not said it does not have one! Stuart

Sometimes a user will change their mind and cancel a message before you've read it. The notification will already have been sent, but will lead to nothing.

Thanks John, never happened before on any other forums I use but maybe no one has ever changed their mind before? Stuart

K-3 specs leaked?
Have the K-3 specs been leaked? The not yet announced Pentax K-3 camera was listed at the official Japanese PPG (Pentax Photo Gallery) website. Those are the rumored Pentax K-3 specifications: Ricoh Pentax K-3: 24MP APS-C Sensor Hardware AA Filter-less Software AA Filter PRIME III Im...

K-3 specs leaked?
well that's a waste of time and money mite as well say with k5IIS k3 will be similar to the d7100, as suggested. If it is it could lose a lot of pentax people i do think??? I say 'similar' in terms of sensor (size, resolution, dynamic range) which is good, but I'm sure Pentax will offer a few enhan...

K-3 specs leaked?
The screen grab seems genuine and it suggests the k3 will be a k5 successor. So not FF! The specs don't come from the same source and may just be educated guesswork though. Seems highly likely the k3 will be similar to the d7100, as suggested. The new D5300 specifications: •24MP •39 AF points ...

Got to thinking about super resolution and how Ricoh would get around any Hassy patents for it, then realised they wouldn't have to! Remember this? From the Ricoh RDC-7 way back in 2000: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/RDC7/RD7A6.HTM One of the RDC-7's most interesting features ...

K10D tilted viewfinder conundrum
I have a K10D (or rather, a Samsung GX-10, which for the purposes of this discussion is basically the same thing). I bought it 5 years ago and have hardly used it since I discovered (once the camera was out of warranty!) that the problem I was seeing in landscapes where the horizon was tipped down t...

K10D tilted viewfinder conundrum
Some like the image quality of the K10D CCD sensor, but I prefer the K20D. I still use one for studio work.

K10D tilted viewfinder conundrum
Others tend to notice it before I do, like on this shot: https://www.pentaxuser.com/photo/user-5416/snowdon-spat-15377 Perhaps it's a bit like sensor stains - it's there if you look for it! I continued to use the K10D until I got my K5 but was a bit put off picking it up again after the JPS...
