Then the only way is to take short exposure and exposure stack them.

There is only one thing that annoys me about TaV. At the moment if the camera can't select a low or high enough ISO for a correct exposure, you just get an over or under exposed image. You should be able to tell the camera to over-ride either the aperture or shutter speed setting to avoid this.

The indication of your shutterspeed and aperture will blink in the LCD and in the viewfinder if it's out of reach, just click the green button and everything will be good again.
You can adjust in the custom menu if the camera should shift the Speed or Aperture or you can choose for MTF when you press the green button.

So they are out of money?America has spent the last 6 decades killing people on a mass scale all over the world, and just as long propping up and paying for other nasty regimes to kill people on a mass scale.
But we can't blame war though since those actually brought those technologies...

I haven't follow it so what problems?Kidding aside, it is very sad to hear that something like space exploration is taking a back seat due to the man made problems we have in the world today.
Btw America doesn't have a space craft now so Russia is the only country now.
China is also busy with manned space flight i believe or was it Japan...
Too bad ESA never made the Hermes or Hopper, they are busy with the CSTS now but that's a capsule and not a shuttle like the other two

Yes I noticed the comments about the lenses too. There is a degree of truth in that insofar as it's somewhat harder to get hold of very long telephoto lenses for Pentax, and there is definitely less choice in this particular area. Again, though, a comment which should have been explained a bit further.
But Pentax pretty much has the general range covered only the slightly more exotic lenses are missing but those are going to be expensive lenses so how many would buy those?Yes I noticed the comments about the lenses too.

It's clear that Pentax is aiming for the consumer market with the APS-C camera's and not the professional market.
I've never hear someone complain that Volkswagen doesn't make exotic race cars like Austin Martin or Ferrari does so i never understand the complains about Pentax not making professional camera's...
Besides if you want to progress from Nikon/Canon APS-C to fullframe then you need to take care that you buy fullframe lenses but the view of your lens is different on both mediums, if you bought a 35mm for APS-C as standard lens than how much good is it on FF as it will be almost an wide angle on that, you need to buy the 50mm now to get the same view so no matter what you always end up buying lenses...
Well that was my rant...
Btw Pentax has a camera above the K5 so what are they complaining about?

What's your budget?John the Interfit one has mainly terible reviews (build quality), any others to be recommended ?
The Cactus v5 looks quite good for the money but they are "budget" though...

Depends on the situation, if it's dark you can go a lot further.Yeah, but only up to about 4 metres ...
Have used the AF540FGZ from around 7 meters away on a cloudy day but you need to be sure the sensor is facing to the camera.

You can make it as confusion as you want so i'm glad Pentax gave us the option to "personalize" our camera's

Decided against IR in the end as I wanted to avoid the IR beam as we do some newborn shoots and parents stress enough over the lights
