Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knows how to use K1 in completely silent shutter mode
I am a keen wildlife photographer as a hobby and planning a night out with Tasmanian devils
I can inactivate the beep noise but can the mechanical shutter release noise be switched off?
Thanks,
Andrew Martin

Hi all,
I have recently purchased a second hand K1 (2018 model) upgraded from my previous K50D
All in good working order but my previous photo editing software (Photoshop elements 13) is incompatible with the files. These have been shot in RAW
Would anyone be able to advise me what I need to install photoshop-wise? Do I need a subscription?
I'm a bit of a dumb arse with sort of thing.
Cheers,
Andrew Martin

Hi Adam,
I disconnected the lens. The AF gear was seen to project above the mount when switching between MF and AF. Strangely enough the autofocus started working again - and now the screen says 'AF-C' not 'MF'. Not sure my technique of blowing would be recommended. I read a post recommending use of isopropyl alcohol? Would you think this is a good idea?

Dear all,
I would be grateful for some advice re getting my auto focus to work -
I have a Pentax K-x. Both camera body and lens (various) have been set to AF. I am able to focus if I change camera body and lens to MF, but the auto focus does not work - ie the lens will not rotate to focus. The camera beeps when the button is pressed halfway - but only when I manually focus, not when I am trying to autofocus
Despite this, the initial screen display (which lists ISO, F stop level, exposure etc) comes up as 'MF' in the top right corner of the screen (adjacent to the AE metering and battery level icons).
On the camera menu (2), I have set AF mode to AF-C; however 'AF Mode' is coloured in grey, not white like the other options such as multi exposure, HDR capture etc - not sure whether this is relevant?
On the control panel (1) 'AE-L with AF locked' is set on 'Off' and 'Link AE to AF Point' is set as 'Off'; On the control panel (2) 'AF/AE-L Button' is set on 'Enable AF1'. Again, not sure whether any of these options are important?
Would resetting to factory settings help? Again not very clear in the K-x manual how this is done.
Appreciative of any suggestions offered.

Hi there,
Wondering if anyone could advise me - I just purchased a Gemini Wide Angle f2.8/28 mm lens for Pentax on ebay. I have a Pentax K-x. The lens is certainly mechanically compatible (with the same bayonet lock) but I can't get the camera to fire. The f-stop icon continually flickers with F---
Thanks,
Andrew Martin
