Hihi everyone, so happy to finally get a Pentax KX after much comparing =)
Jus wanna check, is it alright for me to use MF mode instead of AF mode?
Im totally new in DSLR but i find that i like to use the MF mode more than the AF mode.
I jus bought the KX dual kit 50-200mm last night form Manly.....
Hope to learn more from everyone here.....:D
Still halfway reading through the User manual, though some stuffs like
shutter speed, exposure, ISO, aperture, i still cant actually fully understand....
Will hope to hear more from everyone here with experiences;p
Thanks muchly :angel:
 

Welcome onboard!!!
 

welcome to pentax - just read through, try.

if don't understand, just ask here. pentaxians are always willing to help.
 

simple camera basic manual controls must learn first.. later u can learn about what are the specific features the kx has as differ to other models/brands..

those basics can be found everywhere online.. nowadays got video explanations.. even better
 

Hey thanks everyone.....wat a nice and warm welcome :D
One question :
Where to get Cheap Sanyo Eneloops batteries ( Other than tecpoint2139, or is he the cheapest already? )
For the charger, wats the difference between Sanyo quick 2hr charger, 6hrs charger or 14hrs charger? Which is better for longer lasting charge?
Or should i get the MAHA as mentioned? Where to buy it at cheaper price?

Thanks muchly:lovegrin:
 

Welcome and enjoy the coolest camera available :)

Yes, you can use manual mode w/ any lens, as long as you can hook up with your camera, even a beer bottle bottom ;)

Used to get at S$15 for 4XAA Eneloops. But too troublesome. So recently found one shop in SLS selling at S$20 for 4xAA (no charger as I already have a charger). IS this cheap? I dunno. To me quite cheap maybe not the cheapest.:think:
 

Congrats on becoming a Pentaxian! =)

i don't know where to get cheap eneloops.

quick chargers will heat up your batteries a lot more than a slow charger, so if you're not in a hurry then it will be better to get a variable charger that can switch between quick and slow charge. MAHA powerex would offer a lot of these, so it's probably a good choice.

charging up your batteries properly will ensure that they last longer and have a good life everytime you charge them up.
 

welcome bro..its a homey place here with pentax..
 

Try this link - Arben Marketing best reasonable price than shops and free delivery. Good service

I've tried to order with them before. Delivery is not free, minimum order is 5 sets of 4xAA, and the $15 per set is not inclusive of GST.
 

I bought some Sanyo Imedions via ebay. You might want to search there.

WTF are you talking about?There is only Sanyo Eneloop or Powerex Imedion.When did Sanyo & Powerex join forces?:think:
 

Wow...thanks for the kind advise...
Can Maha charger charge Sanyo Eneloops?
Got a quote from Tecpoint on Ebay,
8pcs Eneloops $33 + 6hr Charger with 2AA eneloop $27 + Delivery $2 = $62
Is this worth or good? Or should i get the MAHA charger?
BTW im a Gal not Bro.... :lovegrin:
