K-x tethered shooting

yanque · 12-28-2010, 12:59 PM

Just wanted to chime in and say thank you for the link. This is a really cool feature to be using with my K-x.

Thanks

Take a look at my IR remote design: Pentax IR Remote

Works like a charm with my K-x and code can still be improved a lot, its work in progress.

Does anyone have trouble setting the ISO in manual mode with the PK_Tether? Everything works on my Kx except I cannot change the ISO in manual mode. Great program though!

Hello all,

I am encountering the same problem. Any help will be appreciated.

does pk remote work with the KX?

I cant get it install, i get messages about missing dll's

I read something about GTK+ but have no idea what that is or how to install it

Yes it work on k-x. Successfully running under win7(32). About GTK+, just google it.
Did you try to run other sw from the same authors: https://sites.google.com/a/pentax.org.pl/tomaszkos/home/pktether

I am still waiting for my camera to arrive, and have been lurking for a while...

Middle of December there was an update patch for the pkremote (linux/sourceforge) program which pktehter/pkremote (google Polish) is based on allowing support for for the K-x.

This patch is here (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&group_id=223919&atid=1059756)

This may offer some help for others engaged in this quest.

there is also a newer project at sourceforge PkTriggerCord (https://sourceforge.net/projects/pktriggercord/) which claims some degree of control out of the box for the kx and is fully sourced

PkTriggerCord now is Linux oriented sw. Wait for windows port.

Funny that, I got rid of Windows for the same reason !.

I am having a problem with the program. If I set the camera to bracketed shooting, or, manually change the EV settings between shots, or, change the aperture between shots, the first picture is fine, but each subsequent shot has an increasing level of error (multiple copies of the image in the wrong colors in a band across the bottom of the picture that gets wider with each shot).

Has anyone else seen a similar effect?

A follow up.

The problem discribed above was using a Windows XP desktop. I have since loaded the software on a Vista Home 32 Laptop with the same results.
