Pentax k5 sensor issue
Looking at that I would say there is a 99.9999999999% probability that it is viewfinder light leakage due to the long exposure. Looks just like it, not an issue.

eye-watering water-damage repair cost for K5+18-135mm
George, I'm not sure what you mean not led a pampered life, rather presumptive wouldn't you say? Unfortunately i think some have become so brainwashed by tech companies, that when someone has a problem people are sadly quick to jump on the user, rather than to think they maybe his tech failed in som...

eye-watering water-damage repair cost for K5+18-135mm
Been using my K7 and K5 for years in heavy downpours, and even cleaned after events by rinsing with water under the tap (low pressure). Finally sent the K5 in for repair of sensor stain issue (minor enough I lived with it for more than a year). When it came back and the thing essentially filled w...

eye-watering water-damage repair cost for K5+18-135mm
Froeschle, I think I must have made a mistake about the centre in Munich. There isn't one - it's HAmburg, Berlin or Vechelde - and it is indeed authorised repair centres. The seller told me I could get in direct contact with the repair centre, but wouldn't tell me to which it was sent (helpful...

eye-watering water-damage repair cost for K5+18-135mm
Yep agreed John. I would also like to know exactly what the cause and fault was/is. I can accept being in that 1%. Someone has to be. So long as it gets dealt with. Not even sure if you normally get told these things if they just fix it, but still. When you get a claim rejected, you don't just wa...

Help needed with apparent dust spot on photos
You wouldn't see a spot on the lens, so it will undoubtably be a speck of dust on the sensor. Try the dust removal system several times and if that doesn't clear it try a rocket blower. Make sure to use the rocket blower a few times first to avoid any dust being shot all over the sensor. If t...

Help needed with apparent dust spot on photos
Another good tip is to pop the flash set the aperture to maximum you can for the lens F22 etc. and shoot at a plain white wall. This will reveal the spots in all their annoying glory, or not, after cleaning.

K5 partial out-of-focus problem
With my K5 + DA* 16-50 I get a falling away of focus on the right side. This is not a depth of field problem, as subject detail the same distance from the lens on the left and middle of the frame is fine. Indeed, it doesn`t seem to be an issue with subjects close to the lens, but only when focus is ...

Noise from camera k5 IIs
Normal exposure, seems to be worse when the camera has not been used for a couple of days - sorry didn't save any specific shots - will use the camera over the weekend and see if it happens - have tried varying aperture and shutter speed but could not " turn on/off" the problem - thought it may be ...

Noise from camera k5 IIs
Have a prime lens as well but don't like swopping lenses as I always seem to end up with dust on the sensor (K20D) Dust is something that happens. Don't not change your lenses in fear of dust, just change the way you do it. DSLRs are designed for lens changing. If you don't change lenses you're ...

K5 sensor cleaning help.
Hi all! I'm selling a k5 but it has one persistent piece of dust on the sensor that shows up on certain pics and is hindering the sale. Now it's not worth paying for a pro clean as I'm selling. So questions are; 1) Do I clean it myself or significantly drop the price? 2) What would be the best/e...

Best way to remove out of focus distraction
Did a portrait shoot today and one of the better shots was a really early one, when I was setting up lighting/exposure and not paying enough attention to background - everything is good, except in the bokeh I have a shiny lamppost running down through my subject It is well out of focus but really...

k-5 and FA50 f1.4 losing autofocus..
First try cleaning the contacts on lens and body with a soft dry cloth, preferably a microfibre one or a fine cotton one. Failing that try other lenses and see if the problem is with the body or the lens. Trying the lens on another body might also be helpful. In this way you should be able to ...

Under chin Ghost?
If that were to happen on all frames taken it could be a slight sensor stain but if just this image it's barely noticeable even now to me. I guess a thumb print on the lens could affect the image colour slightly, especially in a contre-jour image. Or it could be a reflection within the lens of the ...

Pentax litium battery not working properly.
It worked after I pushed it in a couple of times, but I will ring them up and see what they say. Make sure the battery contacts on the battery and in the camera are clean. A normal pencil rubber is pretty useful for cleaning the battery contacts, especially those that are made to look like a pencil....
