Corroded contacts
Well, job done then! Undid the four screws (mini-Philips), lifted them out with the magnetic pick-up tool that came with the set. This allows the separation of the unit body, the battery compartment lifting away easily. It's further movement away is limited by the wires (soldered) to each of th...

Fugifilm disks won't copy photo's.
Might run the cleaning disk through first to see of that helps.

Lack of infinity focus with m42 adapter
It sounds like the adapter you have is one with a big, thick flange that sticks out from the mirror box after inserting it (like the top one of those shown here). You need one like the lower pair (showing front and back). They are available now and then on Ebay. The genuine Pentax ones fit to pe...

Pinhole Photography
Pentax Q System 07 Body Mount lens John that's not a pinhole lens at all. It's a single element fixed aperture lens. 11.5mm F/9. A pinhole has NO lens, and will typically be F/128 and can be significantly smaller IIRC optimum aperture depends on wavelength & the distance from the sensor & changi...

Pinhole Photography
Pinhole images are always somewhat soft. The issue is less significant as you go to larger film formats. Your results are about typical for APSC. Their big advantage is the near infinite DOF, so fopr best effect you need to make use of that & have part of the view very much closer to the camera :) ...

SD memory card problem with K-5II
I've only ever had two cards fail on me, both 16 GB PNYs bought from Currys. I only use Sandisk now, always 16GB. Its not that I don't trust the larger capacity cards its just too much of a risk having so many eggs in one basket when shooting loads of pictures. . Even with the 24meg sensor K3 I g...

A colour problem with my K5
Hi, Suddenly My K5 Seem to have lost the oranges and yellows . The yellows and oranges show up as a purple-red colour. Also it underexposes somewhat, Possibly because the yellows are missing. I checked all the settings WB, filters etc. I also reloaded the software. Yo may think that the sensor...

PLEASE HELP - K5 Locked
Hi all, I'm new to here. I was on holiday in Ljubljana a couple of weeks ago, hammering out travel snaps on my K5, when all of a sudden I couldn't take a photo. I was on auto, and zooming/focussing fine, but couldn't even depress the button halfway. Then received a message on the rear screen 'Ba...

PLEASE HELP - K5 Locked
Thank you John, I've already tried the battery, and the firmware is the most current. I shall try cleaning the contacts, and see if that helps. Do you know if this is a common problem??? Also, I know about Johnsons, but is there somewhere else people recommend for repairs? I have found As...

Infrared white balance on K3
That's grand John, I understand that camera models and makes respond differently to ir as they all have different ir blockers on the sensor.i originally posed the question in case anyone else had come across this and knew why it was, or a work around or that my method for the K3 was incorrect. Th...

MZ6 only meters at min aperture in M mode
Hi, The camera works fine in auto, AV mode etc but in manual mode it will only meter at the minimum aperture (e.g. F22) regardless of the position of the aperture ring. I've tried this with three different lenses (2 A and one M lens) but run into the same problem. I've tried cleaning the mount co...

MZ6 only meters at min aperture in M mode
An M lens set wider than f22, say f8, can only stop down to what it is set to, in that case f8. M lenses do not have electrical contacts so cleaning the mount contacts on the body will make no difference, just set the aperture and the camera will work out the shutter speed (and should show you the ...

K100D SUPER STARTING PROBLEM
My K100d super is misbehaving! When I switch it on the LCD works, menus etc, but makes a clicking noise and does not fire. It also makes a thump which sounds like the sensor cleaner. If I set the sensor cleaner going it vibrates until I switch off, but on turning camera back on the same problem agai...

Today's (very little) brainteaser
you hit the mirror lock up by mistake? Not quite sure how you do that (I know it can be done, but have only done it as part of the routine to clean the sensor).

K-5 Sensor temperature overheat and fail
On my recent holiday to Vietnam I took my K-5 which I've had from new (shutter count 15k) with me as well as a K-x I bought here on the forum. The K-5 worked fine in very hot and humid temperatures where it was regularly about 35 to nigh on 40 degrees C. One day that was not incredibly hot I took a ...

K-5 Sensor temperature overheat and fail
Whatever the reason, it seems it's time to send it in for a repair quote or to replace it?

K-5 Sensor temperature overheat and fail
I have been agonising over what to replace it with. I do a lot of travel so I think the K-1 may be too heavy and valuable too to have on backpacker-type trips to Thailand etc. I fancy the look of the K3ii for my next trip which is going to be NZ and then Thailand. It will be nice having the GPS.
