Pentax K-x help thread

ok, later i try to post a few photo with the type of setting i use.
thanks



yap, i'm using kit lens and not planning to get extra lens also.
therefore trying to figure out the best way to adjust the brightness of the photo.
nv tried going out to take yet. coz he still only 7weeks, and gg out is already FBO.
with a dslr, :sweat::sweat:

Then you need to learn to increase your ISO until you get 1/50 or 1/60. Aperture cannot control due to kit lens.

If you have the extra cash, go for a lens with constant F2.8 aperture. These lenses are better for indoor. I used to use a Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 and it produced wonderful indoor shots. Now I use the DA*16-50mm f2.8. See my signature for the other lenses that I use.

The other thing to note is your WB. Adjust until you are satisfied and you will be able to capture brighter pics. You can change your setting to Bright, Vibrant, etc too . . .

I got some questions to ask,sorry if the question was asked repeatedly. <_<~
I pre-ordered a red Pentax K-X kit 2(FINALLY!! ) After reading much on pentax k-x on the pentax forum, I decided to get one in my fave color!

Would like to ask whether the kit lenses come with a front and rear lens caps? If not, I can get the 52mm ones from MemoriesLink right? Thanks

When I opened my K-x box, the kit lens was in the same box as the body and it came with front and rear caps. The 50-200 will also come with as they are meant for protection.

Ok thanks!
Advisable to get one for the body? The 52mm from memorieslink should be ok right?

The body will have its own body cap as it is used for protection in the box . . .

Every lens , camera body you buy will come with lens caps , bodys caps .
Never seen any that dosen't come with one before , unless 2nd hand.

The one the you can buy in mass sales are for if you lose your caps or bought a 2nd hand body+lens that dosen't come with the caps ...

Yep that's the case, If you buy an NEX it's going to be always there because you don't have end cand body cap.

Unlike with samsung NX-10, you buy lens you'll have both lens cap, plus lens stand. You buy flash you'll have *again* extra lens stand. :lovegrin:
