Don't forget you have to half press the shutter button to activate SR plus allow the time for it to steady.

I can't see any point in this On the K-5 the camera still focuses on the release button as well. It would have been handy if it disabled that.

Or could it be because I have AF set to perform when using a remote?

Setting the AF button to Cancel AF on the release button for as long as it's held in should allow MF ONLY with Quickshift lenses.

EDIT: Just found it. There's a menu item to turn off focus on the half press.

Toshiba make SDHC Cards up to 64GB. There's even a photo of one in the first link..... so why say it doesn't exist?

It was also a PRO grade card so possibly better than the SDXC unless that is also PRO grade?

If it doesn't say Toshiba on the card it's unlikely to be Toshiba. They don't make cheap cards. They have always been expensive. I've used more Toshiba's than any other make.

Note this Toshiba card is not an SDXC 7Day have it wrong

Picstop have the CORRECT Toshiba SDXC 64GB for £25

Toshiba cards usually exceed the specified speed. I have the 16 and 32GB version of the SDHC and the 16GB does........

Bit slow on the Sequential Write but most cameras are only USB 2 and slow anyway.

The cheap one has a plastic bayonet. The better one has a metal bayonet the same as most Pentax lenses.

The better one is marked DA 55-300/4-5.8 ED the cheaper one is marked DA L

The cheaper one usually doesn't have a hood or case.
