Set to centre. Compose with subjects in the centre. If need to set other points set as auto. Press shutter halfway at source and recompose and shoot... something like that . . .
thanks but auto means we will never know where the camera decides to focus on right?
Yah, but if u worry abt that, then there is another one where u can choose which area u want it to focus. Also quite good but speed wise is slower to set if u in a hurry. If Potrait or Macro then its a no problemo. If candid & street just focus on the middle. Changing to bigger no. aperture also helps.
u mean set the AF point to manual right?
the points will be shown on the lcd is it?
wouldnt that be a chore to look into the viewfinder, then the lcd, then the viewfinder again?
erm.. in kx's live-view mode, it's possible to use phase detection AF right? since then contrast-detection is very slow
Put in ziplock bag?
Qs: do u guys buy lens hoods for ur DAL kit lenses, since they dont come with it..
if so, should buy the original or got alternatives?
I'm officially a pentaxian~
yay~~ red kx twin kit 55-300 lens
got camera liao, then realised the m42 adapter i got in russian doesnt work
dunno why it cant twist to the camera mount...
i'll post some pic later, can some pro help me see...?
thanks for the prompt reply pinholecam..
i looked carefully and closely.. i found out that the adapter i have has a tiny extra ledge, so it made the mount ever so slightly more narrow than wat it should be..
thus, it cant be mounted.. oh gosh.. sighz..
i dont understand.. why cant it be mounted on the lens first?
is there some sort of mechanism?
Do idea. At first I had though it was the finishing. I even went through looking for machining burrs and filed a bit at the edges. I suspect that when seated on the screw mount of the lens, the play (or lack of) between lens screw mount and adapter does not allow the adapter to seat properly into the camera mount.
Anyway, don't care, I just UAI.
