That's exactly the opposite of my experience. When reviewing shots from the San Jose visit I noticed that on one shot the shutter speed had been 1/5 of a second, but the picture still looked perfectly fine. There was noticeable noise, especially in the blue channel, but that is to be expected at ISO 800. I was shooting with the grip attached, so the size and weight difference wasn't particularly noticeable, but even so I wouldn't expect a keeper at 1/5 of a second, hand-held. I don't quite know why the camera selected 1/5; the focal length is 55mm, and I thought this was a shot taken with the DA* 55/f1.4, so if that was the case there was no need to stop the lens down to f4.5. (It might have been taken with the 18-55 WR, of course, but even that lens can go to f3.5) But that's not relevant here. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
