My pentax q seems to be making odd electrical noises in the body. I am sure it was silent yesterday! Is anybody else noticing this?

Any questions please send me a pm.

Ah yes now I have the confidence to push the zoom past the macro mark I can get close focus, just what i wanted

Thanks for all your replies.

Dave

David , thanks I understand that now. But how do I engage the macro function?

Dave

sorry Algi, I still don't understand. What you do to get the magnification.

Dave

So does the macro just show where the closest focusing distance is available on the zoom? I was using the F35-70 this afternoon and the macro focusing at 70mm did not get me very close at all.

Dave

the flower symbol looks nice

I am still learning how to use the earlier AF lenses on film cameras. Hence the question below

On the F and FA zooms there is sometimes a macro symbol on the zoom ring. What is this function and how do you use it?

Dave

I have not noticed any problems at all. If there is a problem it is very easy to remove the screen. It is attached to the frame , not the screen.

Dave

Thanks Gwyn
