I have it set on green mode, on auto focus and at the front on af s for auto focus single shot. The lens that I am using is a pentax lens that came with the kit. I will read further and see what I can do.

I have bought a Pentax K511. Always had Pentax but this is the first time I have had a digital camera. I do not seem to get the auto focus to work. I have the setting on auto focus but I have to still manually focus it. Have been working through the very thick book they give you but do not seem to know what is wrong. I know the problem is me but cannot work out what I am doing wrong.
Any help appreciated.

15 Years ago went into Fletchers Photography to buy a SLR camera. Was asked what I wanted to use it for. Did not know what to buy and had no idea of what to buy. The shop assistant recommended a Pentax and have been happy ever since. Will be buying a new Pentax camera in the next 4 weeks. Most likely a K-5 11. Now my relatives and friends are telling me to get a Nikon or Canon. Had a friend who is a professional photographer look at the specs of the K-5 and he informed me I should be very happy with this camera and that it is really good value for money.

Thanks so much. This did help a lot and I took a look at your photos. Love the birds and insects ones.They were all very good.

I was previously using them on aPentax Z-70. Thanks for your help. The K5 will be my first digital camera.

I am reasonably new to photography even though I have owned a pentax camera for some time.
I am thinking of buying a Pentax K5 DSLR. At this stage I cannot afford new lens. I have a Tamron AF90-300mm F/4.5-5.6 model 62D lens and a
Sigma 28-80mm F3.5 - 5.6 am.mf lens but no model number.
I have been told the lens will mount but I need to find out will the auto lens work, will the light meter register.
Someone sent me the following by email
Worst case scenarios: the light meter will not work with one or both lenses. You would then have to replace the lens or lenses. Another possibility is that the light meter will work fine but the autofocus doesn't work. In that case you could still use manual focus. Last would be that the light meter works fine and the autofocus works but autofocus is slow. Otherwise one or both lenses might work perfectly.
Has anyone used the PentaxK5 with the lens I have and what was your experience with it.
