Yeah, remember my mentioning having trouble with it locking focus. She
kept walking towards me and by the time it locked focus, she was well
within comfortable range for that lens.  Oh well, I still think it's a
fun shot.

I later remembered another difference between the K-3 and the K-5, the
sound of the shutter. I don't know if the K-3 is louder, but the sound
is "sharper".

I wonder what ever happened to that "trap focus" feature some Pentax
cameras used to have where you could pre-focus & hold down the shutter
button and the shutter would fire when the subject reached focus?


Trap focus still works, in manual focus mode, on the K-5II, I assume
that it would work with the K-3 as well.
Yes; either an af lens with the body in mf mode or a mf lens.  There is a
setting (do not release shutter unless in focus) that needs to be set
correctly
for the process to work or the shutter trips when you press the button.

I'd forgotten about that, it's on page 4 of the custom functions in the
K-5II menu.  Item #25 Catch-in focus must be set to 2, (on).

Now that you've reminded me I think it's the same on the K20D and the
*ist-D series of cameras as well.
Goes back to the Z1-p, at least.

I was talking about enabling it in a menu, did the PZ-1p have a menu setting?
