Just discovered something strange on my K-5...
I have the M50 1.7 on, and CIF works flawlessly when I am using 'M' mode...
However with the same setting under 'User' (Set to M mode), my shutter just fires when I press the shutter regardless whether the scene is in focus or not o_0!?
Can anyone help me confirm if this is the case please?
somewhere in your menu system is an option for shutter priority that will fire the shutter if the af is locked on or not... my guess is that is activated (by choice or by default) in your "user" preferences options...Just discovered something strange on my K-5...

I think the Q is a lovely, but pricy camera. I expect there will be a market forced price adjustment. At least I hope so.... because the NC-1 will need to be lower priced than the Q, unless of course it comes bundled with an all new leaf shutter lens and k-mount to compete with the nex, nx and 4/3 sensor cameras...

It's not really relevant though is it? I don't buy compact cameras to use at ISO3200.
A lot of this argument against the Q, even before it's properly seen, is based on preconceptions about its inability to cover extreme situations better than much larger cameras.
Nobody expected 35mm film quality from half frame or the Pentax Auto 110, but we had fun seeing what they could do. There wasn't such a reactionary stance to something new in those days. No internet perhaps.
I'm interested in seeing what a raw file from the q looks like when shot at low iso under studio lights...It's not really relevant though is it? I don't buy compact cameras to use at ISO3200.

would bet the files are clean enough to sell. as in close enough to a 12 mp d-slr that it is pointless to argue...

as for the title, of this thread, I can photograph anything well, but you'll need to book an appointment.

lift the top off, shoot your flash from above. (one on each side of the tank aimed down at 45 degs works well.)
then if needed hang a black sheet/curtian in front of the aquarium, and cut a hole and shoot through it.
lastly... many fish will chase a laser if you need to get them to pose in front of your lens...

still gets it ass handed to it by the kx though... so a k5's aps-c sensor in a bigger Q, combined with a kmount ltd prime will kick all thier butts.The NEX-5 is streets ahead

@PentaxExpert, are your correctly spelled posts typed before, or after, several cans of Stella?
