20 Most Recent Pentax K10D Digital Camera with 18-55mm Lens - Page 7 Questions & Answers

The best way to transfer pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries. Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo management program such as Picasa. Organize edit and share your photos

Check battry power by puttng in new ones or just push the mode switch softly like u hardly pushing it, if it does move open it u mite able to find ure prblm rite der. Plz plz get the suitable tools for it !

I'm afraid you are mixing up a few things. In manual mode you can choose aperture, and shutter time yourself. You can't use any filter in Manual mode. To be save, check what the camera would choose in P, and work from there choose the Aperture and the time and if you half one of them double the other one and visa versa. Filters only can be used in filet mode. Please check your manual. (it is still online, if you lost yours)

Yes, with limitations. The lenses will fit on any Pentax (now Ricoh) digital SLR. You may lose autofocus and/or auto exposure metering.

While in the shooting mode, you can use the zoom button on the back of the camera. If that does not work, when you press it. The camera is simply defect. To zoom in on a picture you have to open it on a computer to tablet. I don't think the camera will zoom in on the camera. The pictures you see on the camera, only are "thumbnails" Very small pictures the display can show, but not enough information to enlarge.

SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the metal contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.

What have you tried and what happens? Did you connect to a usb port on your computer and switch on the camera? What did you see on the camera? what did you see on the computer? If you can't get it to work with a known good usb cable and setting the options, just get a card reader take the card out of the camera put it in the reader or directly into your computer if it has a card slot, and transfer from the card directly. Let us know where or if you get stuck.

Take it off of bulb it suppossed to stay open on bulb. Set ISO too 100 Set shutter to 1/60th of a sec. And appuatue to 5.6 then take lens cap off and shoot. Goodluck

Luke - Yes, it's technically possible to replace the bulb, but is not a good thing to try and do unless you are a skilled electronics technician. Flash units fire at very high voltages, and although an accidental shock would probably not be lethal, it would certainly be painful. I have worked on high-voltage power supplies of this type before, and must caution this is NOT FOR THE NOVICE to attempt. Finding a source for the bulb is the second issue, I searched my sources on the web for some time on your behalf and could not find one. Lastly, consider that this same unit is available on eBay as of this writing at around $30 USD. I strongly recommend that you visit a local camera repair shop and see if they can fix it, or consider replacing it. I know, I hate to give up on anything either, but unless you have the skills and/or an experienced friend, it would seem prudent in this matter.

Discover the location of the problem by elimination if you have a spare lens. If the second lens does not auto focus the problem is on the camera or connections to the lens. If the second lens works correctly then the first lens is faulty in the focus area. I hope this helps to target the source of the problem.
