Underexposure vs highlight adjustment?

Thanks for the intel.
The first two are on my own website, I put the link if needed.
The last two were uploaded here but I must have done something wrong. I re-uploaded them.
It should be good now.

A bit late and without technical advice but here my take:



I also find that the camera is pretty good at using the right parameters.
To stay in the same field of subjects, this a Black-browed albatross I shot few months ago. No particular mode was used, the picture was not post-processed (Exif should be available and yes, I was pretty close to it).

Same thing for this one (I don't remember the specie)

And I'm amazed by the ability to bring back a K3-III picture in post if needed. Few days ago, I shot this crow. I wanted to get its silhouette but also wanted to see what was retrievable.
I went from the first to the second using Rawtherapee.

Oh, I forgot: you should download Aurora on your phone (this one).
It'll help you know when to look for northern lights.

I agree
I might add to use burst mode + remote trigger to capture even when the camera is processing.
For your tripod, don't forget to put some weights at its feet as it can be windy or someone might bump into it in the dark. Mine was too light and fell (fortunately, the snow protected the camera but the quick plate broke).
And as always when you're outside by night, a red flashlight can help you navigate without messing your eyes and the camera's screen can be set to a dark mode (black menus and low light).

Those are without post-processing

I usually shoot with AF-S + Quickshift or manual, but if the camera can constantly refocus even for a millimeter, I guess AF-C can now be used for macro-photography.

I hesitated to post the same thing.
Yeah, I have some paint wear on my K3 III too but none on my K3 mark I.
Something changed and not in a good way :/

Is it possible to move the AF point with a non AF lens?

The noise doesn't happen with other lenses.
It might be because it's a M one (lack of the aperture?). It'll need more tests.

Hello,
I'm using the v1.70 and I just tried with a Pentax-M 28mm f2.8 lens.
I have the same issue as you.
More than that, my camera was set to ask for the focal length on boot and it didn't asked for it. There was a weird "trembling" noise on boot too.

I have the v1.41 and can charge with a generic charger.
A good physical USB connection is hard to get right though.

Hello,

Less than 100 shots, still learning the new functions compared to a K3 mark one.

Just ordered one. I chose the "European kit" (body + grip + 2nd battery) for 1.799€.

Now I have to wait, the shop doesn't have any stock left.

Hello everyone,

I come here sometimes to check information about lenses. Now I am a member :)

I am currently using a K3. I still keep my K7 and just bought today a black MX (2nd version) because I wanted its lense and it was a great deal.

And you can see some of my pictures on my website.
