Ok I could change the password and enter my gallery and post the first photo, with all the limitations that the rules impose.
I think it's just changed the graphics but nothing more or new, probably the same server...

Always better than nothing or not?

Perhaps there are technical problems? Every time I want to reset the password it tells me: The e-mail could not be sent.
But if I put a false email it tells me: That email address is not recognised.

.
So the email is correct ..

(I want my photo gallery too)

Thank you for giving me another confirmation.
At first I thought that the camera was broken, but not so, the Pentax is strong, alive Pentax!:)

Continuous Shutter Speed bug?

Good Evening, thanks for all the answers, :)

aleonx3: AF.C is set to fps priority, moreover it is also set to manual focus and so should not affect...

UncleVanya: I run test with the diaphragm fully open (f/1.4 for 50mm and f4 for 200mm).

This evening, I tested the lens with the aperture completely closed (50mm at f22) like you said:

Result:

1. Dial to AV and lens set to A:...........................................................Continuous shooting speed is reduced
2. Dial to AV and lens set to manual diaphragm:................................Continuous shooting speed is ok
3. Dial to M and lens set to A:............................................................Continuous shooting speed is reduced
4. Dial to M and lens set to manual diaphragm:..........................Continuous shooting speed is the same as f1.4 (reduced).

With 18-135mm and f/32 the continuous speed is reduced...


Now I have another conclusion:

This is not a bug and should do so on all camera (perhaps to prevent damage when the camera does not know the aperture?) :):):):):):)

Thanks Again to all

Hi hcc, thank you very much for the information, unfortunately I am not a native English speaker, I run now to correct my writing...
The fact remains that this happens on my camera and I wanted to know if it's a normal thing. You say that this does not happen to you, this leads me to think that my camera has a problem, I also reset all settings and firmware is latest version but the problem remains
Do you believe if I tell you that the same thing happens to me also on the K-5II? :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Good morning everyone,

The other day, I was photographing birds in flight, with a manual lens (Pentax-M 200mm F4).
The camera settings were: Dial of M and continuous shooting, set to high.
ISO is set to 200 and the shutter speed was 1/2000s and diaphragm, fully open (F4).
All other settings that can lower the speed of continuous shooting (for example SR, NR reduction, lens correction, etc. etc. were disabled,).
I immediately noticed that the speed of continuous shooting was not as speed as it should be using an electronic lens type 18-135mm,
but reduced, about half (not 8.3 fps but 4 or 5 fps, to ear)
Sure it was the lens a little old and hard, I changed lens with a Pentax-A 50mm F/1.4 in excellent condition, and I did some tests...

1. Dial to AV and lens set to A:..........................................................Continuous shooting speed is ok
2. Dial to AV and lens set to manual diaphragm:...............................Continuous shooting speed is ok
3. Dial to M and lens set to A:............................................................Continuous shooting speed is ok
4. Dial to M and lens set to manual diaphragm:..........................Continuous shooting speed is reduced (as with the Pentax-M 200 mm)


Conclusion:
1. my 200mm is functioning well
2. with a manual lens and the camera set to manual, the Continuous shooting speed is not reached, and so I'm a bit disappointed :(,
3. just put a piece of paper between the contacts of the camera, and a manual lens to reach the famous 8.3 fps (tested).

Maybe someone can do the same test and confirm whether it is bug or is the norm?

Camera: Pentax K-3


Thanks and Good day to all :)

Fortunately, we are human, and we can also adapt to delays of more advanced technology such as learning to use a Pentax AF-360FGZ that I find it perfect in manual mode, or the Pentax AF 400FTZ with swivel and extendable head. I wish you good job with the Sunpak 383, you wrote that he is old? It would be well informed on the output current ,as several old flash have a return current very strong ,and can damage the camera . Have a nice evening :)
