New to me - CCD Sensor....
it was cheap as chips ... it is good to have a play though. Spot on! Keep trying things, keep experimenting, keep enjoying it! :grin::grin::grin: Then when you've worked out what all the fuss about CCD sensors is all about, please tell me. I've never had one and am willing to be convinced that ...

New to me - CCD Sensor....
Numbers 3 and 5 show what the CCD is all about +1 Luscious colours, especially number 1.:smile:

New to me - CCD Sensor....
Another vote for 3 & 5. I think the advantage of CCD is that it produces very natural colours, almost film-like in some respects. I recently bought a K10D that's now normally paired with an FA24-90 lens - there are a few pictures in another thread. Comparing with my K5(IIs, so no anti-aliasin...

New to me - CCD Sensor....
One slight problem I have found is that, with high contrast oudoor pics, you can end up with skies that tend to cyan rather than true blue. You sometimes also see this with older TV programmes, I think a lot of dedicated video cameras still use CCD sensors. where the cameraman didn't get it quit...

istD in 2025
I was at a race meeting for older cars yesterday so I thought I would give my istD a run out rather than anything more modern. I have to say I am pleased with the results. Yes it was a sunny day so no need to push the iso but the colours and detail seem pretty good to me for an old, small, not-many...

Pentax did something right with that 6mp sensor. Nice shot. Love the subject matter.

Beginner Stumbles w/ Astro Tracer
Hello! I do astro.... and if I am honest... the Astrotracer (as neat as it is), is far to limiting for astro with a DSLR or Mirrorless if you want to do extended shoots. Extended shooting is the prefered option as you want to get as much data (this is waht you are collecting when shooting) as you...

K-3 iii Monitor issues
No its not the info button. I think it is a fault with the eye level sensor. I found a setting to reduct the sensor’s sensitivity to low and i think that’s temporarily sorted it. The monitor wont work on the normal or high sensitivity settings. Will see if i can get it fixed. Is there a way to r...

K-3 iii Monitor issues
Muck on the eye sensor? Is the monitor brightness set to automatic or manual? If automatic, the eye sensor controls the brightness and the manual says "if the eye sensor is in the shade or exposed to strong light, the brightness may not be adjusted correctly". Steve

K-3 iii Monitor issues
Hi I have just come across this - Michael Thank you. Yes thats the issue exactly. I think the eye sensor is just too sensitive or faulty. As it has only recently happened I suspect the latter.

K-3 iii Monitor issues
Can you go into the Menu from LV? Menu C4 Display Customisation>Eye Sensor>Link Monitor Display> set it to OFF. Exit the Menu. Try Viewfinder mode.

K3iii - Keep Your Eyes Peeled!
So a K3iii purchase was the last thing on my mind, I’ve been quite content with my KP and for my needs an upgrade seemed unnecessary… however when browsing a popular used camera site I saw a beautiful condition “spares and repairs” K3iii with the note “menu, playback and info buttons are intermitten...

K3iii - Keep Your Eyes Peeled!
Nice result, although sad to be letting the KP go. Can’t you keep both? :smile: Problem is I already have a Mk1 K3, K5 and K7 so I’ve been considering thinning the herd.. I don’t use the flippy screen on the KP (I also tend to use larger lenses and form factor isn’t the most optimised for those)...

K3iii - Keep Your Eyes Peeled!
I would definitely sell the K-7 before the KP even though it won't sell for nearly as much, but if the aim is to reduce numbers rather than get some money back it'll do fine. I don't know about the K-3 III but some cameras have a sensitivity setting for the eye sensor, if there is one maybe it ne...

Thank you everyone. I will pop on from time to time and post some of my work in General Photigraphic chat! :grin: Endorse all the above and Wish you all the best ! Incidentally, if you don't mind, can you please tell us in which specific areas Pentax is lacking vis-a-vis Canon. It seems to be...

OK, so in a couple of years you'll be selling your Canon gear and moving on again. Not because there's anything wrong with Canon, but because you'll be wanting to raise cash to buy time on the JWST... :evil::tease: To be serious, though, have you any idea why the Pentax and Canon sensors are so d...

Have you tried out some of the newer sensors? The KP/K-1/K-3iii might have different responses. They're Sony sensors aren't they? So maybe Canon have a different sensor manufacturer or perhaps their glass layers on the sensor cut out very slightly different parts of the spectrum.
