Helllo,
I am new to this. I just bought a Pentax K70. I want to learn how to use bracketing. I see that it can be done, but I couldn't find instructions on how to do it. Do you have some suggestions? Thank you. Rita

HI Rita, you may get a lot of info from the k-70 ebook by Yvonn Bourque available on this forum.

Is there any place in the Us or Canada besides the apparently only approved repair facility to make repairs on my Pentax 645z remote shutter socket? I have read this frequently breaks even after repairs due to adesign flaw. I know in the pasr that Pentax parts were only available to designated official repair facilities. But an independent facility should be able to repair and even toughen this valuable function on my camera.

I'd ask the stores on this list:
Pentax Repair Facilities (Wordwide listing) - PentaxForums.com

It's unlikely, but perhaps someone else can do it.
