K-5 battery problem tonight
I was photographing a friend's party tonight, when my K-5 stopped taking pictures. When I looked at the back, I got the battery depleted message, so I grabbed one of my spares. When I put it in, I got the same problem. I grabbed my other spare, and ran into the same problem again. This was rather distressing as I had made sure to top off at least one of the batteries before leaving. After leaving the camera off, while one of the batteries was in a third party charger, for a while, it started working. Now that I'm home, I realize that the charger was showing me the whole time that the battery was charged (green light, it turns out it shines red when the battery is dead). Not only that, but at least two of the batteries show that they were fully charged when I got home. One thing that may be relevant, or not, is that I had been shooting a performance, and when the card filled up, it seemed to take a *really* long time to write everything in the buffer to the card, which left me stuck there, not able to do *anything* while the big performance that the birthday girl, who had hired me, and practiced for months, was going on. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

No serious social/behavioral science researcher even pretends to be looking for what is the right answer for everyone. The line of questioning is rather something like: a. Is there a difference? b. what is there about the persons and/or the situation that may cause such a difference (in attitude, performance, whatever.) c. Can we formulate some hypotheses, nascent theories which predict the phenomena? In this case it seems that there hasn't been enough work to get beyond (a) or (b), but there is also no indication that this is any big deal. So a first-cut good enough answer is to go with serif fonts on paper and sans-serif on screen. Take into account possible distinctions among audiences. Then have a small group of people from your target audience look at your design proposal and let you know if they think it works. If an audience member doesn't like it, then they can change it. On-screen they can mani pulate the underlying CSS files to match the screen to their preferences. On paper, they can switch to an e-book reader and, again, switch font size and style to suit. I don't mean to sound pedantic, but I am at that point in the semester where students are starting to ask what is the answer? And I keep saying over and over, It Depends.

Re: Pentax MZ-3: is it faster than MZ-5?

I was hoping the MZ-3 would be somewhat quicker than the MZ-5, since the shutter lag and AF speed of said MZ-5 did not impress me when I used one, some time ago. At least the MZ-3 offers DOF preview. Since the intended use for that camera is not high quality but risky situations, AND the current camera is an EOS 500n, probably there will be one more pentax around here. We'll see...

David Slater's macaque: A real IP lawyer speaks out

It's bad news for Slater. http://dearrichblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/hijacked-and-automatic-photography.html But it think it's generally good news for everyone that Mike J's speculation that photos taken by automatically-triggered mechanisms can't be registered turned out to be groundless. -- Mark Roberts - Photography Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: The Tao of the Compact
Lately I've been thinking along these same lines myself. I have the money set aside for a K5 but keep hesitating because I'm not sure that the incremental improvement over the K7 will be worth it. I do a lot of travel these days and many of the images I've like in the last year were taken with my Nikon Coolpix P6000. That's a somewhat flawed camera, burdened by a lot of poorly implemented 'features', a slow lens, and really slow buffer write times - but it still manages to cough up some nice images. So part of me thinks to upgrade to a better compact. But I'm not seeing any compacts that seem to be worth upgrading to either MCC On 9/15/2011 7:55 AM, Steven Desjardins wrote: Our recent discussion of the Pentax Q got me thinking, which is always dangerous. One big problem with list discussions is that so much of photography is personal. On an email list like the PDML, folks are typing quickly and often don’t make clear when they know they are giving an opinion and when they think they are expressing a fact. For example, I like small cameras because I am likely to grab one as I walk out the door. That was one of the attractive features of Pentax and it’s a very attractive feature of the current generation of mu43 cameras like the E-P2. I am convinced the image quality of the smaller four thirds sensors is not as good as APS-C. Of course, I have a K7 and the difference is less obvious that it would be with a K5. I could have gotten a K5 if I had sold the K7 and not bought my more recent mu43 purchases. I didn’t and I still wouldn’t. I am an amateur and my photography is there to let me play artist and contribute to the family scrapbook. The latter is always good enough with any of these cameras. My wife uses an Optio I-10 and (annoyingly) seems to do as well as me. Noise just doesn’t bother me very much so my high iso performance is more than adequate. The biggest challenge for me is the limited dynamic range and I enjoy that challenge. When I am taking pictures to please myself, I don’t mind the limitations of the camera. Sure, I can delight in a new lens but usually it’s a prime. My SOP is to go off with one prime and work around it. I’ve recently realized that I’m a better adapter than a chooser. I actually dislike having to pick from too many choices. I find it much more satisfying to take a small camera and one prime and try to make it work. I completely understand that a pro can’t do this and when I’m asked to do weddings I show up with the K7, the flash and the FA135, the DA 18-55, etc. Lately however, that stuff just sits in the bag. I honestly think that if I had the money I would get a Q and a few lenses rather than a K5. The Q system would be inferior for every technical reason and it would get a lot more use.

OT: The Importance of Walking
The Importance of walking Walking can add minutes to your life. This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $4,000 per month. My grandpa started walking five miles a day when he was 60. Now he's 97 years old and we have no idea where the hell he is. I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me. The only reason I would take up walking is so that I could hear heavy breathing again. I have to walk early in the morning, before my brain figures out what I'm doing... I joined a health club last year, spent about 250 bucks. Haven't lost a pound. Apparently you have to go there! Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise', I wash my mouth out with chocolate. I do have flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers them. The advantage of exercising every day is so when you die, they'll say, 'Well, he looks good doesn't he.' If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country. I know I got a lot of exercise the last few years,.. just getting over the hill. We all get heavier as we get older, because there's a lot more information in our heads. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. AND Every time I start thinking too much about how I look, I just find a pub with a Happy Hour and by the time I leave, I look just fine. You could run this over to your friends But just e-mail it to them! It will save you the walk!

Re: The Tao of the Compact
On Sep 17, 2011, at 4:31 PM, Mark C wrote: Lately I've been thinking along these same lines myself. I have the money set aside for a K5 but keep hesitating because I'm not sure that the incremental improvement over the K7 will be worth it. IMO, the K-5 is a huge improvement over the K-7. I'd rate it as the biggest jump in performance for any Pentax DSLR over the previous model. The big gains are in noise, high ISO performance and autofocus. It was a sea change for me. I couldn't characterize it as incremental. Paul I do a lot of travel these days and many of the images I've like in the last year were taken with my Nikon Coolpix P6000. That's a somewhat flawed camera, burdened by a lot of poorly implemented 'features', a slow lens, and really slow buffer write times - but it still manages to cough up some nice images. So part of me thinks to upgrade to a better compact. But I'm not seeing any compacts that seem to be worth upgrading to either MCC On 9/15/2011 7:55 AM, Steven Desjardins wrote: Our recent discussion of the Pentax Q got me thinking, which is always dangerous. One big problem with list discussions is that so much of photography is personal. On an email list like the PDML, folks are typing quickly and often don’t make clear when they know they are giving an opinion and when they think they are expressing a fact. For example, I like small cameras because I am likely to grab one as I walk out the door. That was one of the attractive features of Pentax and it’s a very attractive feature of the current generation of mu43 cameras like the E-P2. I am convinced the image quality of the smaller four thirds sensors is not as good as APS-C. Of course, I have a K7 and the difference is less obvious that it would be with a K5. I could have gotten a K5 if I had sold the K7 and not bought my more recent mu43 purchases. I didn’t and I still wouldn’t. I am an amateur and my photography is there to let me play artist and contribute to the family scrapbook. The latter is always good enough with any of these cameras. My wife uses an Optio I-10 and (annoyingly) seems to do as well as me. Noise just doesn’t bother me very much so my high iso performance is more than adequate. The biggest challenge for me is the limited dynamic range and I enjoy that challenge. When I am taking pictures to please myself, I don’t mind the limitations of the camera. Sure, I can delight in a new lens but usually it’s a prime. My SOP is to go off with one prime and work around it. I’ve recently realized that I’m a better adapter than a chooser. I actually dislike having to pick from too many choices. I find it much more satisfying to take a small camera and one prime and try to make it work. I completely understand that a pro can’t do this and when I’m asked to do weddings I show up with the K7, the flash and the FA135, the DA 18-55, etc. Lately however, that stuff just sits in the bag. I honestly think that if I had the money I would get a Q and a few lenses rather than a K5. The Q system would be inferior for every technical reason and it would get a lot more use.

Clever ways of storing and carrying light stands, tripods etc?
I'm cleaning up after photographing a friend's party last night. As often happens, when it came time to leave, things got put away in a manner much closer to expediency than organization. This means that I have to pretty much unpack everything, and put it away where it belongs. The good news is that I have put together a fairly decent sized collection of lighting stands, tripods etc. Unfortunately, I don't really have a good way of storing and transporting them. I've been carrying the lighting stand, umbrellas etc. in a (very) large duffel, but that's not very convenient when I'm at home. I'm curious whether anybody has come up with some sort of a brilliantly handy (and cheap) way of storing and carrying these things. And for that matter, any other sort of camera gear beyond bodies and lenses. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
