I'm sorry that you didn't find "Page 126 of the .PDF manual. Shooting Functions > AF Fine Adjustment." helpful.

Modern DSLR's are very complex pieces of equipment, hence the need for manufacturers to supply increasingly large instruction manuals. It seemed obvious to me that you had not read yours to look for the answer yourself.

Instead, and just for you, because I don't have a K-5 or a K-5 manual, I downloaded the .PDF manual from Pentaximaging.com, found the relevant section for you, and advised you where you would find the answer to your question.

That's not helpful?

EDIT: After I'd done all that, I discovered you'd posted the same question elsewhere, and had already been given the same information.

I've removed Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) from all of my machines because of well documented issues on the web.

MSE 'fights' with other AV software causing temporary system freezes, even when any other previously installed AV software is removed.

I now use Avast for AV protection and Advanced System Care Pro 3 for malware. MalwareBytes seems good too.

Sorry George, I'll self-administer a slap on the wrist later.

If the OP had read the manual, and not understood it, I'd have been a bit more sympathetic.

And this is a double post to boot.

Did you not get an instruction manual with your camera? It's all in there.

This is exactly the kind of business that the 'Dragons' steer clear of. If it can be copied, they're not interested, and this item can be copied very easily. As Mike has already noted, Chinese copies will appear within weeks at a fraction of Yvon's price. That is if there really is a market for it, which I seriously doubt.

I never thought I needed a DSLR stabilizer, and at a shade under $150.00, I know I don't need one.

2 utilities I routinely use are Ccleaner from Piriform, and Advanced System Care from IOBit.

Both are free and do a good job of clearing out the sludge that builds up in Windows Systems, causing them to slow down.

Processed in Lightroom and Topaz. My two main objectives were to ensure that the fishing lines showed up well and that the heron in the background was a bit more obvious.

If you are shooting JPG, check your custom image setting (Setting The Image Finishing Tone) in your manual.

These settings have no effect when shooting RAW (PEF) except on the embedded JPG image which is shown when you review your images in camera. Once imported into a RAW converter, these custom image adjustments are not applied.

So the reason for the difference between the 2nd pair of images is actually the same as Billy's (normington4 - the OP), the AE-L button had been pressed, probably accidentally.

First pair ? Dunno, despite the 14/16 bits issue, it still sounds to me as if he lens in use at the time (different lens in the 2nd pair of images) did not stop down properly.

Well done Matt.

Well, if that's the best excuse you can come up with . . .
