Pixel shift on the K1ii
Cheeky sod.:lol::lol: Some smart 'phones do a similar thing to pixel shift but in a different way????? I read or saw a review that said the K1ii used this technology instead of moving the sensor???. I thought someone else may have a bit more information on the subject??? CHEERS Vic.

Pixel shift on the K1ii
The new Dynamic Pixel Shift feature works this way, but the Pentax version is supposedly better as the camera detects exactly how much sensor movement there has been between each frame due to handheld vibrations. It then stacks the images together producing a 'super resolution' image. The standar...

Pixel shift on the K1ii
The Dynamic pixel shift on the K1 II uses the movement of the users hands to produce the four different shots, rather than moving the sensor by 1 pixel each time. As HarisF1 points out, the camera's SR system then stacks the images exactly. It has been mentioned that this is nothing other than pi...

K1 Mk 2 review - disappointing to say the least
Fully agree. Reality is these days all cameras are pretty good. We're a long way from the early days where sensor tech was advancing in leaps and bounds. IQ is pretty good all round. Nowadays it's the supporting aspects that are worth noting. AF abilities, ergonomics, touchscreens, wfii/gps et...

Cheep K1 but no Lenses
Answer 1. All your current lenses can be used on the K1 in crop mode, where the K1 will just use an aps-c sized portion of the sensor. This may be useful to you if you cannot acquire FF lenses just yet. Answer2. Some aps-c designated lenses can be used on the K1 in FF with no or little vignetting...

Cheep K1 but no Lenses
It should be possible to pick up some old manual or A series lenses which will take advantage of the larger sensor but won't offer the modern luxuries and may not be as sharp as modern glass. If it were me then I'd be quite happy with that until I could get some better lenses.

Kr Whiteout Problem.
I've had over-exposure when using TAv mode in low light then forgetting to change it when moving to bright light. The big question is if these white images are massive over-exposure or some kind of sensor fault (though I would expect that to produce black/garbled images rather than white).

Pentax K-1 surprises.
Do what I did and buy the FA* 28-70 and FA*80-200 lenses, and maybe an FA-J 18-35 or Sigma EX 15-30 or 17-35 to get the coverage but not the weight training. Even though I also have a D810 (same sensor) different camera and different purpose - I enjoy photography more with the K-1, the Nikon lack...

Help to switch at Pentax KP from K-3
I'm of the opinion that the sensor in the KP may be different from that of the K-3. It certainly doesn't show the same detail reducing NR (or to the same level) as the K1ii.

Pentax Mk II upgrade
At the end of september I sent my camera for a K-1 upgrade. I had three reasons for this: 1) while most reviews for the MkII are ambiguous at best, I always felt that it never deserved the review it ought to get (more so after the dpreview.com debacle that the internet was fast to copy.) Also, I s...

dust and weather proof or what
I was using my K1 a couple of months ago, It was on a low set tripod in about 1 ft of sea with an incoming tide. I was using my phone to fire the camera remotely from the waters edge. A wave toppled the whole lot and the camera completely submerged. I rinsed it with a bottle of drinking water that I...

Fine focus adjusted but still back focuses!!!
The issue is brought about by using autofocus and an optical viewfinder. You're seeing a view through the lens, and not what the sensor will see when the mirror is folded up and the shutter is opened. The autofocus process has to be adjusted to precisely match where you are pointing the camera, so...

Fine focus adjusted but still back focuses!!!
disable the focus from the shutter release and set up the AF back button to perform it , can't remember how to do it on K5 but there will be someone on here or a youtube video that will show you. that will eliminate any chance of the camera trying to refocus as you press the shutter release also a...

What next Pentax DSLRs?
I never knew cameras had to be planed.....:shock: I'm surprised you not knowing that John, they have to get the sensors flat. You wouldn't want a curved sensor............or would you!?:roll:

Memory card error
The only thing I can suggest is to try cleaning the card slot. Start with an air blower and move on to inserting something if that doesn't work. As the camera is unusable as it is, you have nothing to lose.

New to photography and need some help to choose my DLSR
Hi Steve, welcome to the PentaxUser forum! Pentax no longer manufacture a 'superzoom' type of camera, the last one they produced was the Pentax XG-1, you'd most likely find it on the used market for about £100. Here's a to an article which compares it with your SX530. Inexpensive Superzooms ca...

pentax pixel shift question..
The two parts are separate, which is what's being suggested by others above. Handheld with great results will fundamentally come from a sensible shutter speed. Too slow and your hand movement will blur the shot. Pixelshift disables shake reduction, because both use the same hardware to move t...

*ist DS colour issue
I was worried it was a physical issue too, but hoped there was some kind of daft setting I had changed, admittedly not something I look for much online, but the entire 'green' sensor part of the CCD failing in one go seems a bit odd. Just in case, here is a link to .jpg version and a 'photos...
