Tagging on Facebook comes under facebook terms and conditions which the user agrees to when signing up to Facebook, which can also be altered in e users personal settings. At the minute there is no law being broken by tagging someone into a Facebook photo, I believe again this can be changed under account privacy settings.

You are allowed to take photos of policeman here in the uk, photographing however for publication of police who are working unde cover on terrorist duties that could endanger police is obviously not allowed.

Unfortunately there are instances where press stories have reported where police have got these issues wrong and members if the public then perceive them to be laws.

Facebook lawyers are usually in the ball when it comes to complying with different countries privacy laws etc, it would be a fatal business mistake to not be...

Love his work and still as important today, unfortunately I cannot go to that exhibition.

I recently went to the Warhol exhibition in hull which is on until new year and is free to go in. Fascinating stuff and a lot of his photography is on show

If you don't understand it, don't do it and wait and see what your first results are like. Forum threads have a way of becoming more complex and confusing as they go on and it can be too much sometimes.

I would first establish you have a probelm. In the meantime, get to know the camera first and have some fun using it and seeing what results you get.
Johns right of course, I think this problem occurs because users don't realise just how thin the depth of field is at 1.2 to 2.8 and focussing on moving objects at these apertures can be difficult so it is easy to blame equipment rather than user error.

I really dont understand half of that
In simple terms you put an object (i used a cereal bix) 2 metres away from the sensor in the camera which is marked by circle with a line through it next to the top LCD screen

Using live view half press the shutter button so the camera focuses on the cereal box.

Check the focus screen on the top of the lens and this should read 2 metres

Click out of live view and half press the shutter to focus again on the cereal box

Check the focus screen on the lens and this will tell you if your camera is back, front or spot on focus.

Hope this helps.

I don't think the 50 1.8 has a focus scale same as the 35mm 2.4 though?

This has been the most succesful for me and leaves no ambiguity. My lenses are all now spot on for the first time. Interestingly my zooms did not need any adjustment, yet other methods showed I did need adjustment. Instead of messing with tripods and stuff I used a kitchen worktop which proved more solid than a tripod and took out another part of equation that can add to the false adjustment method.

Do you think the noise is lower in the mk ii than the original k-5?

Is the focussing speed on the 50-135mm improved on the mk ii over the original k-5?

I use one of these and rest my camera on it whilst walking around, best thing is it doesn't like a camera bag and holds two bodies with lenses.

Could be just what you are looking for and a good price too...

Welcome to k-5 ownership, look forward to seeing your work.

That's impressive.

There must be some slight difference in the firmware to the original k-5 for that low noise with no post.

Good shots too.
