Hi Mike

No, it's not that :(

Like I said...sometimes it works properly but most of the time it doesn't.

Thanks for the suggestion though

Hello

I bought my Pentax KS2 less than one year ago. It's been working fine up until about a month ago when I noticed that the shutter won't release when I press the button or will release very slowly (I have to keep the button pressed for longer than 1-2 seconds until it releases). Sometimes it releases normally, but most of the time it doesn't.

What could be causing this? Thoughts on how to fix it?

Many thanks!

Andreea

I tried all these suggestions and it still doesn't work :( I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong In this photo I had used the AF.C setting, focused on the snail and then with the shutter half pressed I recomposed. The focus didn't stay on the snail

thanks again.i tried this and it didn't work. how do i recompose? with the shutter half pressed?

I think I found a solution that seems to work for me. In Live View mode, Menu - Live View - Contrast AF - the little icon with the moving rectangular frames. It locks the focus on one point and keeps it there when you recompose while keeping the focus green square on.

Thank you again for all your help.

Thank you all so very much for your answers, you've been very helpful! I bought the camera on Amazon. It came with a guide - a small book - and not the whole manual, but I've downloaded it know and I'm going to read through it :)

I am trying this now but not sure if it's working...when you recompose do the little green brackets stay on the focus point or move with your movement?

I have the 1.4 fixed lens but I can't go very far back with that...I have to shoot very close and I can't fit the whole baby in the frame without loosing the focus and depth of field.Or maybe I should just practice more :) I use continuous lighting, I adjusted the WB. Thank you all very much for the replies.

Thank you much. The image I posted is not the best example. I have others where the background/hat is in sharp focus. Anyway, I'll check the instructions in the manual.

I don't have the manual. Is it online? I only have a camera guide nd there's no page 58 or 56 :( I don't think it's the shutter speed because the focus is fine on parts of the image, just not the parts I need ...

I've uploaded a photo. I would like focus to fall on his eyes...don't know how to achieve that:(

Hello

I just purchased a KS2. I do newborn photography so I was looking for a camera that would allow me o get great sharp focus on babies faces. I had a session yesterday and most of my images came out soft. I was not able to find a way to focus on the face, the camera just seems to focus wherever it wants. is there a way to focus on one spot of your choice? Is it possible to focus on a spot and then move the camera to compose? I have the standard 18-50 lens. Thank you
