I Was a Canon Camera user to start with and not ashamed to say so. I switched from Canon when the KS2 released and just fell in love with it from the very start. I haven't been able to use my Camera for a long time so it has always been in it's box free from dust and dirt. I recently felt a need to use it again so got it out and took a few snaps with it and sadly they were blurred and not very good. In all honesty i wasn't always a great photographer but have done some very nice photographs in the past, probably not up to the standards of some of you members but i thought them nice. I had the camera on auto as i have forgotten most of what i knew which saddens me in a way. I am not young anymore and realise the blurred pictures could be down to camera shake but it's set to auto i thought everything would be sorted with it. I can't even remember which mode i used most but keep thinking program mode as that's what i was used too with the Canon camera's i had. Could you members see fit to giving me some tips either in program mode or auto till i get used to it again. I didn't realise how much i missed the KS2 until recently and would love to get some decent pictures with her again. Also i am not sure but the KS2 is supposed to have like a digital watch battery to keep the time etc which i think is flat but i can't remember where it is to change it.
Thanks In Advance
Tim

Hi Guys
Having problems updating the firmware on my new K-S2 . I format the sd card in my camera then remove it, put the card into my card reader and copy the update to my sd card. I then put the card into the camera and switch it on, go to firmware update in the menu and there is no option to update it, i have tried several times and no joy. I must be doing something wrong but no idea what.
Any help appreciated
Tim

Seems quite a bit heavier than my Canon's, probably a sign of quality

Think it was my most used lens on my Canons Tim, well it's 70-300 on the Canon, never been a fan of the kit lenses, always thought of them as cheaply made and not very good glass, not sure about Pentax but it felt that way with Canon. Sort of throw away type of lens

Will keep the tubes and M42 adaptor in mind Haris . I am a tad short buying the K-S2 this week, really went over my budget. Let me know when and how much and i will give you a shout Haris.
