KP review in Outdoor Photography
That's not sensor size, they're all APS-C, you mean resolution. A lower sensor size would be M4/3rds or the Q. https://photographylife.com/camera-resolution-explained Well yes, Resolution then...

KP review in Outdoor Photography
" lower the sensor size". What do you mean by this. So the K3 is 24 megapixel, as was the Nikon 5500 and others, but the 7500 and 500 are 20.5 megapixel. Newer cameras, lesser megapixels, better images. Not better images, but less pixels = faster frame rate. If you want better resolution of d...

Viewing an image file in K-1, does it display every pixel?
The specs quote 1,036,800 dots for the LCD screen. Times that by 16 doesn't give you the 36.40 megapixels of the sensor, so surely it has to be down sampled.

Focusing issues on Pentax cameras
Just set the AF Fine Adjustment for either all the lenses or individually in Custom Menu 26. See page 126 of the K-5 manual if you're not sure. Normally its best to go for individual lenses as some will require a positive adjustment and some negative. Re your comparison, the Oly EM-5 only has a...

Focusing issues on Pentax cameras
Interesting....Never checked any of my lenses... I had slight backfocus issues with my lenses on my K10 , but there was no official AF fine tune adjustment so I lived with it as it was minor. The K1 is different. 100% view on a 36mp vs 10 mp is in a different league. The slightest difference is l...

Focusing issues on Pentax cameras
If AF works the same as the BEEP does in MF then it only works for the distance you test it at :oops: That's because it works similar to DOF and BEEPS as soon as it enters the nearest or farthest point. Not of much use to a photographer :cry: -- That is a criticism of autofocus systems in general...

Focusing issues on Pentax cameras
The most accurate way to focus is to use live view. Either using the Contrast-Detect AF system, or by manually focussing and using the screen zoomed at 100%. This is because you are then detecting the focus point directly on the cameras sensor. No it isn't :shock: It can be quite good if you fo...

....and being a mirrorless camera presumably uses Contrast detection AF which has no need to be adjusted, like LV on a DSLR Depends on the mirrorless camera. Like the Pentax K-70, some cameras have phase detect autofocus sensors on the camera image sensor itself. These span right across the sens...

UPGRADING TO FULL FRAME
Hi, I am toying with the idea of upgrading my kit to FF with the K-1. I currently have a K-3 with 3 Sigma lenses f3.5 10-20, f2.8 17-70 and APO 70-300. As far as I can make out the lenses I have would be pretty useless on the K-1. If I have it correct they would knock the effective size of the sen...

UPGRADING TO FULL FRAME
K-1 and KP here. I thought I was done with APS-C when I sold my K-3. Now it turns out that APS-C really has a lot to offer. When you can't be bothered hauling a heavy bag for every single outing, you realise the importance of the crop sensor. The KP really is something else. It's not as bulky as ...

I thought I was done with APS-C when I sold my K-3. Now it turns out that APS-C really has a lot to offer. When you can't be bothered hauling a heavy bag for every single outing, you realise the importance of the crop sensor. I do agree and for a camera to carry all the time, the K-1 isn't really it...

18 months later .... So how you getting on with the K1?
K-1 is a pleasure to use. I particularly like the third dial which I have defaulted to iso control. Articulating screen is another plus. Of course, the biggest benefit is the image quality that the sensor produces especially for landscape photography. The Tamtax 15-30 is a truly wonderful lens. ...

Advice from K1owners. please...
I have seen comments that AF can be a bit quicker in crop mode. I don't know whether that relates only a lens originialy made for digital or not. I have not tested this out. Peter, I expect it will be because the 33 AF sensors on the K1 cover more of an APSC-sized cropped frame than they do for th...

Pentax K-1 firmware update version 1.42 released
On to version 1.43 now Thanks. Corrected – Unstable performance may rarely occur in Movie mode or Live View status of still picture in firmware version 1.42. Could this be the promised update that reinstates sensor stabilisation in movie mode?

Pentax K3 ii -16-85 lens
A lot will depend on how large you view your images or how much cropping you do. The Sensor in the Ricoh GRII is superb and is more than capable of large (12" x 8") prints or full screen images with perfect detail, if you crop heavily then that is where the greater number of pixels of the K3II will ...

Pentax K-1 Mark II rumours
Re a Pentax K-1 Mark II, this will be cool to see what they come up with. In some respect I'd expect this to be a pretty obvious upgrade path. The K-1 had a limited buffer and burst rate, so improving this would seem a likely choice. What I'm interested to see though, is when will Pentax look t...

Pentax K-1 Mark II rumours
I've enjoyed reading this thread, especially the lens discussions. To be honest, one of the things that has put me off upgrading to a K-1 is the amount I would have to invest in glass to get the most from it. I have some really nice lenses for my crop sensor cameras that I know and love, they work...
