Clunk in K10
You mean that gentle sound of something moving slightly? Never really noticed it before, but it's probably the sensor that determines which way up the camera is being held. I wouldn't expect the CCD shift to be as large as the movement I have just been listening to. Haven't K100D owners also repo...

K10d - Rattling Internals - HELP!!!
It is definately in the body and not the lens. It is like something is sliding inside. Should I turn it on and see what happens, return camera/seek specialist advice, or is this just be normal? I want to do the right thing as these cameras take some saving up for! Thanks in advance, Affy. A quiet 's...

Removing lens elements
I have an old Pentax 110 70mm lens, I have remoed the front element for cleaning - there is fungus in the lens and I decided to attempt the cleaning myself. However, I am unable to remove the next element (possibly due to it being too tight) and am presuming I might have the same probles witht th...

Horrible wavy line patterns
Right I've tried shooting both JPEG and RAW at various ISO's using various lens and even on the K10D's own screen you can see the wavy lines. Now I am convinced it is a camera problem, some kind of current leakage or electro-static interference bleeding into the sensor. It does seem to be more...

AF400T
Just picked up an AF400T Flash on Ebay for £40 complete with two camera brackets, mains unit, battery pack, and a bundle of cables including two hard to get LX ones. Despite it being described as 'working perfectly' it, as you've guessed, isn't. TTL Auto doesn't work but the unit works perfectly in ...

PEF conversion
I suspect it's down to the fact that Adobe processes it's own format (DNG) better than Pentax's product - the PEF. Every converter is different. I take this point, although has this been established as fact? The clue to the answer lies in the word "suspect". It is conjecture, not fact. However, as...

PEF conversion
it records exactly what the sensor "saw". This isn't exactly so though because all RAW images do have to have a certain amount of processing to turn a monochrome chip covered by a Bayer mosaic into an approximation of a full colour image. Then of course this has to be converted into a recognisable...

Random Cleaning mode
After seeing Duncan knifton's problems in another thread it reminded me of a bit of a funny I have with my K10D. Very rarely, it will randomly put itself into sensor cleaning mode. I'm not touching the camera at the time, it's switched on, but has put itself to sleep and in P mode on the dial. Wi...

Random Cleaning mode
Hmmm, a year and a half with no such occurrence. But then, I've only put the dial in P mode a few times -- by accident. Odd, but I guess it could be intended. To me it would be rather annoying. I'm not a big fan of undocumented automatic "features".

Random Cleaning mode
I haven't seen this either, in 18 months, and the camera's been in P mode, switched on but asleep, for at least a third of its life.

Random Cleaning mode
Sorry, I'm really not thinking today... I thought you meant dust shake went on,... but if it goes to sleep and puts up the mirror for no reason, that would seem quite bad. Is it worth sending away for repair? Like you said, power off/on and no big deal and easily resolved. So maybe not yet, b...

Random Cleaning mode
Thanks for the feedback guys. Given the rarity of it happening, I doubt if it would be worth sending back. The chances of it happening whilst it's away being examined are slim indeed. I'll just live with it. Duncan

focus adjustment k10d
Canon and Nikon have options to allow user adjustments for AF. With Nikon it's only the D300 / D700 / D3, with Canon only the 1Ds3 / 1D mk3 - all of which are more expensive than a K20D and considerably dearer than a K10D. That's a lot of money to spend just to prove a point (and possibly find your...
