Nasty stripes appearing on some pictures
Hi George, It looks like sensor failure to me.. at first glance. I can't see how missing data transferred from the reader would do that?? Sorry! Cheers Liam I would suspect that too if the stripes were always in the same place. But they are not. G

Nasty stripes appearing on some pictures
Hi George, are the lines always in the same orientation independent of whether you take the shot in landscape or portrait?.. ie. always horizontal/vertical to the alignment of the sensor. IIRC, you have an orientation detector in the K10D. If that's working the data transfer should be made acro...

Camera Internals Moving?
It's nothing to worry about. Both the K100D and K10D have a shake reduction system and they both make that same noise. Is this definitely what it is? SR must presumably consist of several lightweight bits that respond quickly, whereas the 'internals moving' sound that I've noticed from the K10D i...

Camera Internals Moving?
Hi travellingmanjim, I dont think this is the SR system that is moving as this slow slide occures even when the K10D is switched on. This is more likely to be the Orientation Sensor that you can feel/hear moving and yes it is also apparent on my K10D. Although I'm sure its nothing to be con...

Hi travellingmanjim, This is more likely to be the Orientation Sensor that you can feel/hear moving and yes it is also apparent on my K10D. Graham. The orientation sensor is no more than a tiny ball bearing. What you can hear is more likely to be the dust removal system, which you can turn off.

Camera Internals Moving?
Please pay attention to the original post, he has a K100D, not a K10D. I feel the same on my K100D, and a GX-10 as well. It seems like a heavy part on the inside is sliding, I'd be surprised if that is really the sensor plate - should need some very strong magnets to keep it floating during a sho...

Flooded MZ-6: advice needed
The camera and lens are probably past economical repair. A MZ6 with standard kit lens appear quite often on EBay and usually sell for between £40 and £50. Professional repair if possible is probably 3 times that. If you sold the camera and lens on EBay as faulty for spares or repair , you might...

Giotto Rocket Blower - which size?
I'm about to get a rocket blower for use on K10D. Big one looks like needing a fair bit of space when travelling, small one looks as though it might be a bit short of puff. Any thoughts on which is best size for effective use, please? I have the big one, which I chose having made exactly the...

Giotto Rocket Blower - which size?
Just to be annoying - I have the small one and find it perfectly adequate and have also cleaned specks from the sensor 2 or 3 times with it without problems. It's also perfectly sized to stick in a bag :)

Giotto Rocket Blower - which size?
I have the Q-ball, which is the smaller one with the tiltable tube. It works great. I haven't used it since I have my K20D though. The blower and a Arctic butterfly were the only things I used when cleaning the sensor of my *ist-DS.

Giotto Rocket Blower - which size?
I've got the large one and I love it. :) I've only ever used the Rocket Blower and the built-in sensor shake on start-up. In two years I've not had any dust problems and I've never felt the need for a wet clean.

Pentax K10D focus screen
years ago I removed the focussing screen from a SLR to clean it. It only made it worse and after "cleaning" it seemed to attracht a lot more dust. If there is a spec of dust on it, just leave it there.

Pentax K10D focus screen
As it has no effect on the image, cleaning a focusing screen is best avoided. The screens are very soft and fragile and can be easily damaged.

Pentax K10D focus screen
Just searching the forum for info on cleaning behind focus screens. I've been getting a build up of dust and small hair like crap behind my K20D focus screen. I've tried to ignore it until now as it doesn't affect the image but now there's a hair like creature sitting right in the centre and is affe...

Pentax K10D focus screen
JI've tried to ignore it until now as it doesn't affect the image but now there's a hair like creature sitting right in the centre and is affecting the AF ( as well as being highly annoying ). An hair on the focusing screen will never be able to affected auto focus, by the simple fact that the AF do...

Remote Control F
What is the range people are getting fron their remote? I just tried mine with the K10D. It was reliable up to about 40 feet from the back of the camera, and up to about 30 feet from the front. I'm not sure if the difference is significant, since I just put the camera on the floor so the sen...

shutter problem on ist ds
Fairly bad timing, k10d in the shop getting repaired and now my other body, Ist DS, has developed a slight problem. I press the shutter and it doesn't fire. Does anyone have a link to what the camera looks like inside, as it seems to be some sort of short just behind the rubber covering, under t...
