Dear Matt Matic

1/ Red image – great! Shame I can’t use an old flash unit, but that’s covered elsewhere

2/ From what you have written I’ve little doubt you will understand why I feel a little reserved about responding here.
Can’t Pentax be persuaded to sort it and put in a firmware write that says focus then don’t focus just expose, please? IE As it says on the tin and in the manual?

3/ Sorry about the duplication

Dear ChrisA

Spotted the change of screen idea but seems bizarre it should help. Does back up someone else’s suggesting in this forum the firmware is flaky.
The problem occurred with a DA lens, which is more useable than I expected.
Going back to my old K1000 etc low level light used to be a Pentax strong point

I’ll check the links next week. Thanks
I might try a manual stop down if I’m using a tripod, with stationary targets

GolfDiesel Thanks

Dear Mannesty

My flash collection may not be fully digital compatible, but it is serious kit.

Dear Matt Matic

Is there a bug list and work around list for the K10D and can it be posted and emailed please?


Many thanks for everyone’s efforts

PS. Attempts to emails Pentax and Hoya direct have not been responded to.
