I think I am just asking too much to my camera
It can't do magic when light is an issue.
Originally posted by CarlJF Then, if you don't already have one, you could get an external flash with a AF beam. With one of these, your K-30 will AF rapidly and accurately even in very low light. In addition, if you're doing a lot of low light portraiture, getting a flash and learning how to use it will have a huge impact on the overall quality of your portraits. Much more, and cheaper too, than just upgrading your K-30 to a newer body.
I did not know about this. I am not a big fan of flashes but I think it is because I never had a real good one. I should think about it for sure.
Originally posted by Oricman My K30 can struggle in low light, but many cameras do. How is it in manual focus? i.e. if it is focused does the green light come on in the viewfinder to show it is in focus? Can you take a picture in manual focus?
Manual focus is fine, but I am terrible at it. I try to practice, but unfortunately my eyes are not that good.

Indeed, that is a (good) option. It is just a bit slow some time, but again, maybe I am just asking too much
Thanks all for your answer. A nice forum, with lots of helpful people!
