Iceblinker and Xbow

Thanks for the info , already tried my rocket blower but it didn't work.

Does the K100D have a dust removal system ?I've tried the mirror
up system to have a look and use my blower .......

Help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a K100D and it is evident from some shots today that it has dust spot or some form of crud on the sensor - slap bang centre! , going on holiday to the US in 2 weeks . Cant afford to waste time sending it for a clean as it may not get back in time ...... whats best to try Dustaid pads on stick , or cleaning with swab and solution provided .... need to order something pronto off the internet

Any advice gratefully received

Pentax K100D

When cropping or editing images I get "jaggies" on the edited pics. Is this a problem with in camera settings or my software - Adobe Photoshop.

Do I need to change the in camera settings to solve the problem

Thanks guys , looks like I'll plod on with the recharegables for a while with the old CRV3 for back up (non rechargeable).

I only shot around 200 because I'd already taken 250 on the SD Card ,
just downloaded the card (450 shots ), cleared it and loosed off another 200 and the battery level still seems (fingers crossed) to be showing okay.

Looks like I just have a problem with shelf life storage then.

Thanks for the prompt answers.......

Hi Matt

I charged some recharegable AA's 2500 mah about 2 weeks ago and put them in the K100D to replace alkaline AA's on saturday 1st Sept , camera didn't even acknowledge them.

Just given them a 1 hour "boost" and put them in and just shot of around 200 shots. Is their a decent brand that has a good charged shelf life ???

Wouldn't want to resort to only rechargeables in the field and have no back up , may be keep AA's or CRV3's for that..... may be the HAMA's and Uniross are just crap batteries for storage over a period of time but two weeks .....

Cheers

Folks


Is it just me , my K100D seems to be absolutely atrocious on power consumption when using Alkaline AA's , trying CR-V3's now. Doesn't like NIMH 2500 Mah Hama or Uniross AA rechargeables at all !!

How does everybody else power their K100D's ???????

I'm off to buy shares in the AA battery market !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dont know about a flash trigger , I recently bought an infra red remote release for my K100D for £6.99 all in from Ebay ....works a treat

Thats water off the runway on the Zoom 767 pic

First live shoot with the new K100D.

Noticed plenty of jagged straight edges on the jpegs , is this due to in camera settings ? I have contrast , saturation and sharpness set in the middle of the scales.

The images improved following a run through 3rd party image batch resizer software. Although Adobe Photoshop was used initially no sharpening was done with that particular software.

Any ideas......thanks

Sods law , I've just bought the K100D about 3 weeks ago !!!!

Ah well , look on the bright side , the body only cost may drop low enough to buy that only in the future !!
