Is it possible that a camera setting is the problem? The default setting for "Action in AF.C Continuous" (C3.17 in the menu system) is "Focus priority". That means the camera will prioritize getting the shot in focus, rather than shooting at the fastest rate. It might seem erratic or slow. You

Re: Pentax waterproof camera

The WG series pretty much fits the bill. The latest, I believe it is the WG 50. I recommended an earlier WG to my ex-wife, and even she likes it. https://us.ricoh-imaging.com/index.php/cameras/wg-50 -p On Dec 4, 2017, 11:24 AM -0600, Mark Roberts , wrote: > Daniel

Re: Pentax waterproof camera

Thanks, Godfrey. I was actually looking at the TG-5, but I would prefer to buy a Pentax if they offer a similar product. Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Mon, Dec 4, 2017 at 12:03 PM, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: > I don't know of any from Pentax. The

Re: Pentax waterproof camera

I don't know of any from Pentax. The Olympus TG-5 seems to be the most highly praised of point and shoot type cameras in this category. G — No matter where you go, there you are. > On Dec 4, 2017, at 8:48 AM, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: > > I am looking to buy a friend a

Re: Pentax 6x7 for sale

I was given my 67, the question is what lenses does it have, and what would shopping cost. On December 3, 2017 7:19:00 PM PST, "P. J. Alling" wrote: >Actually $150.00 might be about right.  KEH doesn't have a 6x7 or 62 in > >stock now but they do have a 645, for

Re: Pentax 6x7 for sale

Actually $150.00 might be about right.  KEH doesn't have a 6x7 or 62 in stock now but they do have a 645, for which they want $149.99.  Sadly if it's not a recent digital camera or a particularly collectable item, older cameras aren't worth very much money in the modern world.   Film cameras

Re: Pentax Photo Gallery Question

It still exists. For whatever reason, I still submit images and vote on submissions. A few other PDMLers post there every now and then, but the only familiar name I see regularly among the recent additions is Bong Manayon. His images are a sublime as ever. Dan Matyola
