Hi,
Currently, I using for Pentax K-30 a SanDisk Ultra 30MB/s SDHC I class 6 card and I notice that it takes few seconds to save the picture after burst mode.have
Which card would be recommended to reduce the time of saving the photos to card?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for all replies, I did not notice that the one was not D-Li109.
I read in this forum positive about Wasabi. However, Amazon does not like to ship it to Australia.
Charger with a car adapter sounds good too. I found one, which is not from Wasabi D LI109 Charger FOR Pentax K R KR K S1 KS1 K 01 K01 K 30 K30 K 50 K 500 Battery | eBay .
It looks like I have to make a decision between MaximalPower (cell made in Japan) and Pentax.

@Lowell Goudge
> Shoot using manual mode with the aperture & shutter set so that the exposure without flash is about 2 stops below what is required for proper exposure, then let the flash do the rest.
Do you use the build in light meter to find out this.
@LensBeginner
> An alternative to avoid the "flash look" would of course be the standard ceiling bounce with white card for catchlights...
ceiling bounce sound good.
I actually ordered YN560-TX controller and it should arrive in few days. I heard that shutter speed control the ambient light and aperture the flash.
Last Christmas I used 180th of the second with flash and the lights on the Christmas looked like switch off.
Can I capture a moving child with 30th of the second with flash?

Thank you for all responses. I will use flash.
Do The Godox V850 (or Neewer TT850 clone) work on and off Pentax K-30 with HSS?

Hello,
I have a two years old child which is moving unpredictable and sometimes I need more than one shoot to capture a picture.
With a flash I might lose a moment, because it has to recharge before I can take another shoot again.Therefore, I thought a led light panel could be useful, because the light source would be constant and I could use even burst mode.
I would like to use the led panel in my house. As shutter speed I would like to use at least 180, aperture 3.5 - 8 and iso as low as possible in order to reduce noise. My current lens is 18-55mm. In the past I have made good experience with Yongnuo flashes and triggers. Therefore I would be interested in a led light panel from Yongnuo ( Yongnuo led | eBay ).
How many leds do I need for a light panel?
Thank you in advance.

Hello,
I watch this

and basically it shows that not only focal lenght has to be multiply by the crop factor, but also the aperture. It is possible to the get real aperture by
focal lenght (on 35mm) / lens diameter = aperture
I calculated it for some pentax lenses and just wonder whether it is correct, because most of the time I did not get the right aperture.
smc PENTAX DA Star 55mm F1.4 SDM
55mm (equiv. 82.5mm)
82.5mm/58mm=1.4224137931034482758620689655172 == 1.4
smc PENTAX DA Star 50-135mm F2.8 ED (IF) SDM
50-135mm (equiv. 75-203mm)
203mm/67mm=3.0298507462686567164179104477612 != 2.8
smc PENTAX DA Star 16-50mm F2.8 ED AL (IF) SDM
16-50mm (equiv. 24-75mm)
75mm/77mm = 0.97402597402597402597402597402597 != 2.8
smc PENTAX DA Star 60-250mm F4 ED (IF) SDM
60-250mm (equiv. 90-375mm)
375mm/67mm = 5.5970149253731343283582089552239 != 4
Thank you in advance.

Thank you, but I found there is two types on RF-603, N1 and N3. I would be interested in N3, but I do not know whether it is compatible with Pentax K30. I would like to use N3, because I could use it on Pentax k30 (if it is possible) and Nikon d610.
Does anyone know whether RF-603N3 compatible is with Pentax K30?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I watched this video

and he was using this ND filter Tiffen 77mm Variable Neutral Density Filter 77VND B&H Photo .
Does any Variable Neutral Density Filter exist which is cheaper that the Tiffen one or does another way exist to over power the sun without HSS?
Thank you in advance.

I looked at Aokatec radio trigger. These trigger convert the optical signal from e.g. pop up flash to a radio signal and on the remote flash the radio signal to optical signal. It is quite smart, but the problem (if I am not wrong) is that HSS only works if a Pentax camera can detect the HSS flash. My understanding is that the only way to get HSS and Aokatec's radio trigger to work would be to use two HSS flashes which one would attached to the camera hot shoe and the second one would remotely connected by Aokatec radio trigger.
I think I found few alternatives to get shoots with bokeh in bright sun without using HSS flash. The guy in this video

was using only three ND filter with cockin filter holder
Cokin Filter Holder - P Series - Digital Camera Warehouse Australia . Why in the first video was a light source used and not in the second?
Would this idea from this video

work outside to exposed first the bright sky and than to use flash to brighten the subject?
Option 1:
Sigma EF-610 DG ST with TTL together with Variable ND filter and Aokatec radio trigger.
Option 2:
YONGNUO 560 no TTL and no HSS together with Variable ND filter with some generic radio trigger. Which generic radio trigger would work nice with Pentax and an manual flash and uses AA or AAA batteries?
Do I have only the above two options to get a nice exposed background and subject in the bright sun?
When are Cactus and Yongnuo each supposed to be releasing remote triggers which have built-in power level adjustments from the transmitter and would I have to buy new flash for it?
Thank in advance.

Hi,
Recently, I watch a youtube video about "Trigger Alternatives for Off Camera Flash" (
You Tube
|
src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gpAHPt7dbU4?controls=1" allowfullscreen>
|
) and as comment the maker wrote this:
However, it looks like yongnuo does not make any radio trigger and TTL with HSS flashes for Pentax. The only alternative to Pentax AF360FGZ II I found would be Sigma 610 dg super ( https://www.sigma-photo.co.jp/english/flash_and_accessory/flash/#/flash_610dg_super ).
I would like to be able overpower the sun with a flash in order that subject is not to dark. What kind of option would I have with radio trigger and HSS flashes?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I bought last year first time a DSLR a Pentax k-30 with 18-55 mm WR lens an I like the camera, because e.g. it gives me many manually settings.
