Hello Pentax
Please add this feature in the next firmware upgrade:
Add a feature to multiply the focal length reported by the lens by a
user entered factor e.g 1.4x 2x 1.7x and operate the SR system based
on that.. Easy software fix IMHO.
That would be nice.
Regards
Patrick

There's nothing to burn out on the shutter, Amita. You might run the
battery dry and then the camera will shut down. The shutter is simply
a mechanical device with a couple of springs and magnets. The second

That's somewhat connected to the fact that it has large sensor

I would like a Pentax A-Series (Super-A/Super Program) and a

It seems my CRT monitor is about to bite the dust - it's starting to

not all LCDs are made equal, even when all of them say Active matrix

It's just not *wanting* to use the filters, or use them as little as

It means it bends light by passing it through a curved surface clear
material to bring it to a point of focus. Hum, sounds like any kind of

I think I got most of it with a swab. The blue area must be a
