Hello. I so proud of my new toy today!

gonna use auto 1st while slowly explore the beauty of k-x. any quick guide for me? :sweatsm:

Bye AWS! Hello Pentax!

Congrats on your new toy

Hello fellow Pentaxian,


Just got my first DSLR the Pentax Kx. Difficult decision, swaying between Sony A500, A550, Pentax K7 and Kx. Took me a couple of weeks to made this choice. Keeping my finger cross that the IQ will better my Panasonic FZ28.

At the moment, quite please with the handling and ease of using this camera. Didn't read the manual but able to figure out how to access the different function quite easily.

Can't wait to test out this camera when time permits.

Welcome to the family of pentax.

If its possible, join the outing at fort canning coming gathering and there will be lots of people with KX to share their experiences. Did I see another tamron macro lens? That is a great macro and telephoto lens.

otc

be sure to bring your red k-x out when CNY is near, huat ah! :bsmilie:

Pentax community is getting livelier w/ the influx of new members. hope to see more sign up for monthly outings

Congratulation!
You also bought Tamron 90mm macro together with kx?
Night time is the best to test out and impress kx's high ISO performance.

Ciao all Pentaxian
just got myself my first dslr which is a red k-x and really loving it, it's such a good low light camera

btw i have been taking a few random pictures at home the pass few days with it and today there is something black that always appear on the picture is it dust on the cmos censor?? any kind soul can teach how to clear it away or should i just go down to the slr revo to ask them help me clear it?? i am a noob in camera:embrass:
pic are below

see the black spot on the top right

 

[doink24]

so hows the battery so far? did u buy additional set of batteries?

 

[woefulwabbit]

It could be the rear element of the lens or the sensor. Lens is easy to examine, sensor you can use the builtin sensor cleaning system. If that fails to work, you can try to blow it off with an air blower after putting the camera into sensor-cleaning mode.

You can set the camera in Av to f/16 and take a picture of a blank wall. (use manual focus if auto can't lock on). If you see the same marks, then it is dust on the sensor.
Go to the menu and activate the dust removal mode. You can set it to activate each time you power on too but i prefer to do it myself.
After that repeat the test. if spot still there, go to menu and set shutter to up for sensor cleaning. Then use a blower to blow at the sensor a few times. This will remove most of the stubborn dust that the antidust mechanism cannot remove. Try this first.

If still cannot remove than you need the sensor cleaning kit.

 

[woefulwabbit]

More likely to be dust on the lens I think, since the dust spec looks different at different apertures.

Hi Ronald09 and lichtleiter,



I bought my camera and lens from SLR Rev. yesterday.

If you are referring to the Tamron SP90 if I'm not wrong it's around $540 and Hoya HD 52mm $62. Not sure if it's a good price.........

This site should help you.

to flip up the mirror to access the sensor, use the sensor cleaning option in 'menu'

 

[spheredome]

I doubt sensor, the particle is too clear to be on sensor.
