Hi David, i wish i had waited a little longer and bought K-5iis, the K5 is a smashing camera in every other respect especially the noise reduction on high ISO which the K7 couldn't compete with, i do use manual a lot especially for flowers but for portraits i like to use auto focus if possible, i'm really finding it a problem

Hi John, well as an example i went out in October on quite a sunny afternoon, i was under the trees with the sun shining down which was quite low by that time, auto focus wasn't a problem for a few of the shots but then it started doing it's usual back focus front focus noisy sound, i switched the ISO up which solved it for a while but then gave up and used manual, this is a problem i am having most of the time

I don't have so much trouble with focusing on a certain object if i use manual but i find the auto focus on the K5 ( i didn't have this problem with the 100D or K7) is so temperamental in certain light conditions and really annoying, now it could me, and maybe it is

Great stuff, i especially like no3

Thanks everyone i'm more than happy with all your help

Thank you John that is most helpful and gives me more of an understanding about the ratio of ppi to pixels

Thanks John, it's a K5

Thanks for your help everyone, that's a great help, i have irfanview John so i'll have a look, what i don't understand is the actual numbers as they are not given in c.m. inches etc, that's the part i don't understand

Hi, if i need to resize my pictures for printing or selling i haven't got a clue as to what the numbers mean, i've been told to resize to at least 3000 along the longest size but i don't know if this means pixels or something else, sorry for being so dim, i can resize in paint or resize online but haven't a clue whether to use pixels or percentage, please could i have a simple answer because i'm quite a simple person i've had a look through the forum but can't really find anything to help, thanks in advance

Congrats and well done, a magical image and a well deserved commendation
