K7 movie mode max time
Live View and Movies stop when the sensor overheats. This may happen in warm weather or just after the camera has been used a lot.

If it helps use SanDisk Extreme III 8GB and it works without limitations (unless the sensor overheats).

Censor cleaning
I usually clean my censor myself using a Kinetronics Specgrabber. There is however a spot om my censor that I cannot remove. Our local Pentax workshop wants to rob me of R700.00 (about 70 pounds) to remove the spot. What should I do... or is there a product someone can recommend?

Censor cleaning
As long as the spot is removable and not physical damage, Eclipse 2 fluid and Pecpads should do it. Pentax sell their own wet cleaning kit too.

You sure Peter, I thought pentax used those sticky things you press on your sensor?

Censor cleaning
I can add that Eclipse and Sensorswabs works fine for me. The sticky thing, Pentax O-ICK1, is mainly for use when dust is not removable with Giottos rocket air blower or the vacuum way to do it. I would recommend to Eclipse sensorswab after the sticky has been used. Niklas

Censor cleaning
After a lot of reading and flipping a coin I bought wipes from ebay and Eclipse fluid. With much trepidation I cleaned the sensor. It did say a single sweep which I tried and didn't manage. So three wipes later it was clean. The wipes seem to be glue applicators from primary school with a pec pad...

Censor cleaning
Only from personal experience I would recommend just using a 1 inch flat pure sable water colour brush. Make sure it is spotlessly clean and grease-free and just wipe the sensor a couple of times with the camera facing down. Has worked perfectly for me, including removing some dust that has been on...

Womble pointed it out to me some time ago, and I knew it had a silly name but it took me a while to remember it, The o-ick1 :lol::...

You sure Peter, I thought pentax used those sticky things you press on your sensor? Sticky, wet, but it is a Pentax product. My personal preference is actually the Arctic Butterfly from Visible Dust. Works every time for me . . . so far.

"resilient hair" on pictures
Hello Hello, New here, been lurking for a few days. I'm quite new to digital photography, to not say completely new, and have recently (last week) acquired a Pentax K-x DSLR. It works great, except for one minor problem: I've noticed this odd "hair" appearing frequently on pictures. Apparent...

"resilient hair" on pictures
Hi Shine, And welcome - sure you'll enjoy using your K-x - once you have removed that hair. It is most probably a bit of dust that has got in somehow. And no, the dust removal does not rmove everything. Have you a rocket-blower? (One with a valve so that you don't blow more dust onto the sensor!...

"resilient hair" on pictures
Any mark in exactly the same place on many frames indicates crap on the sensor. Sometimes the sensor-shaker in the camera fails to dislodge it, and you have to resort to other methods. 1. You can try to blow it out, using a (not canned air. since these risk squirting solvents all round the in...

Have just seen Chris's link to the sensor muck - have had that in the past when using a non-rocket blower on my old *istD :( Andy
